Weighed in the Balances of the Sanctuary

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1864

THE wise man saith, “Where the word of a king is, there is power.” What power must there be where there is the word of the King of kings who rules over all! We are not left to conjecture as to the power of the divine Word, for we know that, “By the word of the…

The Serpent’s Sentence

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 21, 1890

SOME master in Israel who wanted to help the memories of his hearers has said that the three things to be preached above everything else are the three R’s—Ruin, Redemption, and Regeneration. He spoke wisely and well. How will men seek salvation if they do not…

A Hard Case

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 23, 1896

HOW persevering is divine love! “God speaketh once.” I have heard many a father say to his child, “Do not let me have to speak to you again.” But the great Father has to speak again, and when it is written, “God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it…

Farm Laborers

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 5, 1881

IN all ages since the fall there has been a tendency in the human heart to forget God and get away from Him. Idolatry has been the sin of all nations, including God’s favored people, the Jews, and including certain persons who call themselves Christians, and y…

Jesus in Our Midst

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 12, 1875

WE do not wonder that when certain devout Greeks came up to keep the feast at Jerusalem they said to Philip, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” Who would not want to see Him? Who that has been redeemed by His precious blood does not long to behold Him? As a child pine…

Wanted!—Volunteers

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 25, 1891

IT was a great thing for King Jehoshaphat to have such a pious lord-lieutenant, one who could command an army, and at the same time obey the commands of God. Christian men ought greatly to value Christian servants, especially if such persons are employed in po…

“Beginning at Jerusalem”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 14, 1883

The servants of God were not left to originate a gospel for themselves, as certain modern teachers appear to do, nor were they even left to map out their mode of procedure in the spreading of the glad tidings. They were told by their great Master what to preac…

The Moral of a Miracle

Charles Spurgeon

THIS exhortation stands in connection with the miracle of the withering of the fig tree that was clad with leaves but bore no fruit. The peculiarity of the parable calls for a few words of explanation before we proceed to enforce the moral appended to it. To m…

Sown Among Thorns

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 19, 1888

WHEN that which comes of his sowing is unfruitful, the sower’s work is wasted; he has spent his strength for nothing. Without fruit the sower’s work would even seem to be insane, for he takes good wheat, throws it away, and loses it in the ground. Preaching is…

Our Expectation

Charles Spurgeon

THE first thought suggested by this text is, that Jesus is still alive, for to see anything is the act of a living person. Our Lord Jesus died . We know that He died. We are glad that there is overwhelming evidence that, not in appearance, but in fact, He died…

Penitence, Pardon, and Peace

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 19, 1913

THIS is a marvelously vivid Gospel incident. Every detail is plainly and forcefully set forth, so that we can picture the scene, making it live before us, without much mental effort. And yet, in some respects, there is a great reticence, a divine delicacy, glo…

Crowding to Touch the Savior

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 15, 1868

OUR Lord had been persecuted, and therefore He put forth many proofs of His power. When opposition attends the Gospel it will be the more triumphant, the warnings of the devil prognosticate the success of the Word.

The Saint’s Trials and the Divine Deliverances

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 25, 1917

THIS psalm describes the condition of a child of God under deep depression of spirit. He is much tried and bowed, and yet, at the same time, the saint at last gets the victory, and before the psalm is over, the clouds are all removed from the sky, and the hear…

“Glory Be Unto the Father”

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 9, 1883

LAST Lord’s Day I finished the morning services at Exeter Hall with a sermon upon John’s choice doxology, “Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” [Sermon #1737, Volume 29, John…

The One and the Many

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 21, 1897

I AM not going to speak at length about the doctrine of the federal headship of the first Adam and of the second Adam, which is to my mind indisputably taught in this chapter. I have heard a great many objections to that truth which appears to me to be plainly…

The Fruits of Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 8, 1916

THIS is a very remarkable prophecy. Attempts have been made to explain it, as if it were already fulfilled. I believe all such attempts to be utter failures. This promise stands on record to be fulfilled at some future day. In those bright days for which some…

The Spirit of Bondage and Adoption

Charles Spurgeon

THESE two verses are full of the word “spirit,” and they are also full of spiritual truth. We have read in previous verses about the flesh and of the result that comes of minding it, namely, death. But now, in this verse, we get away from the flesh and think o…

The True Gospel Is No Hidden Gospel

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 4, 1882

I THINK in this case the Revised New Testament gives a better translation than does the Authorized Version, and I will therefore read it —“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are per- ishing: in whom the god of this world has blinded th…

The Best of All Sights

Charles Spurgeon

IN Holy Scripture faith is placed in opposition to the sight of the eyes and yet it is frequently described as looking and seeing. It is opposed to carnal sight because it is spiritual sight, a discernment which comes not of the body, but arises out of the str…

Fallen Asleep

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 28, 1900

WRITING concerning the brethren who had seen the Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection, and of whom “above five hundred” were present at one time, Paul said that, at the date when he was writing this epistle, “the greater part” remained alive, “but,” he add…

The Heaven of Heaven

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 9, 1868

THE Italians so much admire the city of Naples, that their proverb is, “See Naples and die,” as if there remained nothing more to be seen after that fair bay and city had been gazed upon. To behold the far fairer sight mentioned in the text men might well be c…

THE DROUGHT of NATURE, THE RAIN OF GRACE, AND THE LESSON THEREFROM

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 24, 1889

, 22. IT is my heart’s desire and earnest prayer that many in this house may this morning say with the prophet, “O LORD our God, we will wait upon thee.” I shall not be satisfied to have delivered a discourse, nor for you to have heard it, and even approved of…
