Remember the Sabbath: CH Spurgeon's Views on the Lord's Day

Описание: Are Christians still required to keep the Sabbath? And what does keeping the Sabbath really look like?

On this episode we will answer these important questions and many others as we consider the role of the sabbath in the Christian life through the lens of the convictions and teachings of Charles Spurgeon.

We’ll hear from Pastor Brandon Rhea who has a new book out titled “Spurgeon's Forgotten Sabbatarianism: Examining the Role of the 4th Commandment in His Life and Theology.”

Rhea is the pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Kirksville, Missouri and received his Ph.D. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, with his dissertation being focused on the Sabbath views of the Prince of Preachers.

In this conversation we will:
• Dispel some caricatures about the Sabbath
• Discuss whether or not this command is still binding for us today
• How to begin observing the Sabbath if you have never really set it apart as the Lord’s Day.

Along the way, we’ll learn how a commitment to the Sabbath shaped Spurgeon’s ministry, what this looked like in his own life over the years, and how this conviction runs like a thread throughout his preaching and teaching.

What can we learn from Spurgeon’s Sabbatarianism, and how should we think more carefully about the Lord’s Day in our own lives?

On this episode you’ll be both challenged and encouraged as we explore these questions and more.
