Show Notes

"O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD" (Isaiah 2:5, KJV). Spurgeon's widely shared quote about the Jews, read in its context. C.H. Spurgeon Sermon Breakdown Pt 1, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta start Charles Spurgeon's sermon "Walking in the Light of the Lord" and put a much-shared Spurgeon quote about the Jews back into its context. Along the way: dispensationalism and Zionism, what it actually means to bless Israel, Isaiah 2:1-5, natural Israel and the spiritual people of God, praying for Israel and the grafted olive tree, and Jacob, Esau and the birthright.

They also cover Balaam and Numbers 24:9, politics, propaganda and current events, the joy of bringing someone to Christ, and new wine in new bottles (Luke 5:38). It ends with Spurgeon on spiritual sluggishness and recovering zeal.

Questions answered • What did Spurgeon actually say about the Jews? (2:04) • What does it mean to bless Israel? (15:14) • Is political support the same as blessing Israel? (38:59) • Can new converts wake up a lukewarm church? (1:21:22)
