Today, we pick up the narrative as Spurgeon faces a severe trial: being unjustly blamed for a tragic incident during one of his sermons. Despite grappling with deep depression, Spurgeon found solace in Isaiah 40:31 and returned to preaching with renewed vigor, leading to the remarkable growth of his congregation. On March 18th, 1861, the iconic Metropolitan Tabernacle was completed, becoming a beacon of hope for thousands in London. Spurgeon's sermons were printed and distributed widely, and mission work was funded across England. His innovative preaching style, including his famous "Wordless Book" sermon, left an indelible mark on Christian evangelism worldwide. Spurgeon's philanthropic efforts extended to establishing orphanages, supported by annual fundraisers that became must-attend events in South London. Despite facing personal danger and societal challenges, including the terror of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, Spurgeon remained steadfast in his convictions, speaking out against social injustices such as slavery and theological deviations from Scripture. In 1887, Spurgeon controversially decided to leave the Baptist denomination due to theological drift, sparking intense backlash but refusing to compromise on core beliefs. Throughout his life, Spurgeon battled chronic illness, including gout, yet continued to preach and write prolifically until his passing in January 1892.

In this episode of the Church History Podcast, host Lorelee Siemens delves into the remarkable life of Samuel Schereschewsky, a Jewish man whose journey traversed Russia, Germany, America, China, and Japan, leaving an indelible mark on Church history. Born in 1831 into a devout Jewish family in Russian Lithuania, Samuel's early life was marked by exceptional intelligence and a deep connection to his Jewish roots. Despite facing poverty and loss at a young age, Samuel's thirst for knowledge led him to pursue studies in rabbinical school. However, a chance encounter with the New Testament in Hebrew sparked a profound spiritual awakening, leading him to embrace Jesus as the Messiah.

We look at his social work in the asylums, mines, factories, and ragged schools that helped shape England. And his advocacy for the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land.

In our fourth episode of the Zionist study, we look at the Spafford family, who faced unimaginable pain but found peace in God’s grace. They shared that peace with the world through a song. They then traveled to Jerusalem to share God’s love. They had a front-row seat in the Zionist movement. * Edit for clarification. At the time of the Chicago fire, the Spafford's were working with Moody, but members of a church under Rev. Young. They left that church and were no longer members before leaving to work in Jerusalem.

Canaan, Israel, Judah, the holy land, the Promised Land, and Zion are all used throughout history to talk about a very tiny piece of land. The story of the Hebrew people started thousands of years ago when Jewish people, like Abraham and Moses, played important roles in history. Through them, God gave the world the Ten Commandments, the Old Testament, and the way to a relationship with the one and only true God. Sadly, Jewish people also faced tough times. In the 12th and 17th centuries, rumors and lies about them. During the time of the Crusades and the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, some leaders in the church made laws that were unfair to Jewish people. They were made to wear special clothing to stand out, and this wasn't good. In Spain during the late 1400s and early 1500s, Jewish people were treated poorly. They had to leave the country or pretend to follow a different religion. Many Jewish people had to hide who they were to stay safe. In today’s episode, we will tell the story of the church and the Jewish people.
