The Private Thoughts and Words of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 12, 1891

YOU have this same story in Matthew and Mark and Luke, a little differently told, as would naturally be the case when the information came from three different observers. It will be to our edification to put the three accounts together, so as to get a complete…

The Prosperous Man’s Reminder

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 27, 1878

OUR text will lead me at this time to speak upon the perils of prosperity, and as those who areprospering in worldly circumstances make up a comparatively slender portion of any congregation, thesermon must mainly aim at a small class. Still it is my duty to s…

A Sabbath Miracle

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 7, 1904

WHAT blessed days Sabbath days are! I mean not only the Jewish Sabbath on the seventh day of the week, but the Christian Sabbath on the first day of the week. I remember a friend in Newcastle telling me that when he was looking at a house in that city, which w…

Love’s Logic

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 27, 1871

THIS is a great doctrinal truth and I might with much propriety preach a doctrinal sermon from it, of which the sum and substance would be the sovereign grace of God. God’s love is evidently prior to ours, “He first loved us.” It is also clear enough from the…

Some Marks of God’s People

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 18, 1900

DEAR friends, at this time there is a special stir among the people. I know, from what I have seen and heard, that many are beginning to seek the Lord, and others, who are not yet actually turning unto the Lord, are at least resolved to break off certain gross…

Our Own Dear Shepheard

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 3, 1886

AS the passage stands in the Authorized Version, it reads like a number of short sentences with scarcely any apparent connection. Even in that form it is precious, for our Lord’s pearls are priceless even when they are not threaded together. But when I tell yo…

Christ the Cause of Division

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 20, 1901

IT seems, then, that even when Christ was the preacher, there was a division among the hearers, so we must not be surprised if the same result follows from our preaching. No doubt, strife has sometimes been caused by a preacher’s harshness of expression or unw…

The Obedience of Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 21, 1890

THE part of the text to which I shall call your attention lies in these words, “By faith Abraham obeyed.” Obedience—what a blessing it would be if we were all trained to it by the Holy Spirit! How fully should we be restored if we were perfect in it! If all th…

A God Ready to Pardon

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 9, 1876

WHEN a man’s conscience is so awakened to the existence of sin that he cannot perceive any plea for God’s mercy within himself, it is his wisdom to look for a plea in the nature and character of God.

A Salutation by Rev. Merle D’aubigne, of Geneva

Charles Spurgeon • May 18, 1862

THE last sentence informs us of a circumstance so significant that the Holy Spirit has recorded it twice. In the parallel passage in the Chronicles, you will find a repetition of the statement that “David tarried at Jerusalem.” It had hitherto been his custom…

The Unchangeable Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 29, 1894

LET me read to you the verse that comes before our text. It is a good habit always to look at texts in their connection. It is wrong, I think, to lay hold of small portions of God’s Word, and take them out of their connection as you might pluck feathers from a…

Preventing Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 23, 1905

I MUST tell you the story, for if you do not realize the circumstances, you will not understand these words. David was in the position of an outlaw in his country. He knew that he was one day to be king over Israel, but he had such reverence for Saul, the Lord…

Universal Fatherhood, a Lie!

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 13, 1898

THESE were the words of Christ to those who beset Him round about with angry eyes and cruel tongues. Our Lord declared that He had been with His Father before He spoke with those wicked Jews, and indeed He had been, for He was with the Father before the worlds…

Majesty in Misery

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 5, 1903

I SUPPOSE that all this cruelty took place while our Lord was before Caiaphas, in the dead of night, before the Sanhedrim had been fully gathered together to hold their trial at daybreak. His enemies were in so great a hurry to condemn Him that as soon as He a…

Job Among the Ashes

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 19, 1888

JEHOVAH had spoken, Job had trembled. The Lord had revealed Himself, Job had seen Him. Truly, God did but display the skirts of His robe, and unveil a part of His ways, but therein was so much of ineffable glory that Job laid his hand upon his mouth in token o…

The Teaching of the Foot-Washing

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 12, 1879

IT seems to me that the true text of this enacted sermon of the foot-washing is to be found in the first verse of the chapter, “Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” Our Lord washed the feet of His disciples to show that to…

Springtime in Nature and Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1895

THIS is a text for the springtime. If you read it through tomorrow morning, before the smoke has clouded the heavens, whilst yet the earliest birds are calling up their mates to sing, you will understand its meaning better than I can make you comprehend it by…

“The Blood of the Testament”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 14, 1912

BLOOD is always a terrible thing. It makes a sensitive mind shudder even to pronounce the word, but to look upon the thing itself causes a thrill of horror. Although by familiarity men shake this off, for the seeing of the eye and the hearing of the ear can ha…

Our Lord’s First Appearance Before Pilate

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 12, 1882

I SHOULD like, if God spares us, to present to you on Sabbath mornings the full story of our Savior’s sufferings. We began last Lord’s day by going with Him to the hall of Caiaphas, and it was a sadly solemn time when we beheld the Prince of Peace a prisoner,…

Blessed Discipline

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 19, 1894

THERE are times when the wicked seem to have things all their own way. This earth is not the realm of final justice, we are not yet standing before the Lord’s great judgement seat. God permits many things to be for a while in confusion. They who are highest wi…

And After That, King of Peace

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 3, 1884

WE will not enlarge upon the story of Melchisedec, nor discuss the question as to who he was. It is near enough for us to believe that he was one who worshipped God after the primitive fashion; abeliever in God such as Job was in the land of Uz, one of the wor…

The Secret Food and the Public Name

Charles Spurgeon

JEREMIAH had been greatly persecuted for his faithfulness in delivering the Word of God. He tells us the reason for his continuance in a work which brought him so sorrowful a reward. He makes us understand that he had been faithful in delivering God’s Word, be…

God’s Overtaking Mercy

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 17, 1916

HAGAR had lived for many years in Abraham’s family. This was no small advantage. While all the rest of the world was in heathendom, the light shone brightly in Abraham’s tent. Not only was Abraham himself a worshipper of the Most High God, but he commanded his…

Creation’s Groans and the Saints’ Sighs

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 5, 1868

MY venerable friend, who, on the first Sabbath of the year, always sends me a text to preach from, has on this occasion selected one which it is very far from easy to handle. The more I have read it, the more certainly have I come to the conclusion that this i…
