Dr. Jonathan Leeman to Preach and Speak at Christ Church West Chester

On Sunday, August 30th, at 6 PM, Dr. Jonathan Leeman will give a lecture entitled “How the Nations Rage: Rethinking Faith and Politics in a Divided Age.” What do we do when brothers and sisters in Christ sit next to each other in the pews but feel divided and angry? Is there a way forward? When we identify with Christ more than a political party or social grouping, we avoid the false allure of building heaven on earth and return to the church’s unchanging political task: to represent a heavenly and future kingdom now. It’s only when we realize that the life of our churches now is the hope of the nation for tomorrow that we become the salt and light Jesus calls us to be.

Dr. Leeman serves as the Editorial Director at 9Marks, a ministry that equips church leaders with a biblical vision and practical resources for building healthy churches. As a student of both political science and theology, he has written extensively on the relationship between the Church and State and how Christians may think and act rightly as citizens of both our nation and God’s Kingdom. You can find a selection of his writings here. He is also an elder at Cheverly Baptist Church in suburban Washington, D.C., where he lives with his wife and four daughters.

This event will be held on the grounds of Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, PA. Registration is required. Online registration is available on a first come, first serve basis. Once we fill all of the spaces, we will not be able to take any more registrations. There is no cost to attend.
