ONE feels very thankful that we have a few Hebrew words in common use in our Christian assemblies—a kind of link between Israel after the flesh and Israel after the spirit. “Hallelujah,” they sang of old, and we sing “Hallelujah,” too. “Abba Father,” they said…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 4, 1912
WE have now considered six of the glorious achievement of our divine Lord and Savior, and it is time to conclude the series. [The other sermons in the series are #1325, Christ the End of the Law,” #1326, Christ the Conqueror of Satan, #1327, Christ the Overcom…

SATAN is always doing his utmost to stop the work of God. He hindered these Jews from building the temple, and today he endeavors to hinder the people of God from spreading the gospel. A spiritual temple is to be built for the Most High, and if by any means th…

THE Holy Spirit, although He is the most active, most potent, and most real worker in the world, is not discerned by the mass of mankind. The great majority of men are affected only by what they see, or hear, or feel. Their life is confined to the narrow range…

THERE are a few objects in nature which never cease to astonish the beholder; I think Humboldt said he could never look upon the rolling prairies without astonishment, and I suppose some of us will never be able to look upon the ocean, or to see the sun rise o…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 5, 1882
THE crucifixion of Christ was the crowning sin of our race. In His death we shall find all the sins of mankind uniting in foul conspiracy. Envy and pride and hate are there, with covetousness, falsehood, and blasphemy, eager to rush on to cruelty, revenge, and…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 3, 1876
WHEN these words were spoken, our Savior was about to leave His disciples to go to His death for their sakes. His great anxiety was that they might not be too much cast down by the trials which would come upon them. He desired to prepare their minds for the he…

TO WHAT purpose these vast assemblies Sabbath after Sabbath? Why crowd you these aisles and galleries till every seat is occupied, and every foot of standing room is filled? Have you all of you a zeal to worship? Do you all thirst to hear the Word of the Lord?…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 27, 1880
THIS psalm sings of the grandeur of God as seen in creation. Who has not been impressed with the sight of the starry sky and the moon walking in her brightness? Truly, God is great! Who can stand at night and gaze upward to yonder distant worlds without saying…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 14, 1909
WE cannot tell exactly who the queen of the south was, nor exactly where Sheba lay. The expression used is Yemen, the south. Yemen is the name of a part of Arabia Felix and it would appear from the spices which the queen brought with her that she came from tha…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 8, 1912
IN this verse and the following one we have a very brief yet very full description of what every minister of the Gospel ought to preach. In the first place, he is to preach the Gospel —not metaphysics, not politics, not mere morality, not simply doctrines as s…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 1, 1895
THERE are very narrow limits to our knowledge. There is a great breadth to our conceit, but the things that we really know are very few, after all. He who is wisest will be the first to confess his own ignorance. Our faith in the superior knowledge of God is a…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 16, 1909
[This sermon was one of several preached by Mr. Spurgeon after various visits to the Riviera. He had intended to prepare a volume upon the olive, but illness and the pressure of other work prevented. He had revised nearly half of the manuscript of this discour…

PRIDE is so natural to fallen man that it springs up in his heart like weeds in a watered garden, or rushes by a flowing brook. It is an all pervading sin, and smothers all things like dust on the roads, or flour in the mill. Its every touch is evil as the bre…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 7, 1872
IT is clear from this chapter that the Lord views the sin of mankind with intense regret. We are obliged to speak of Him after the manner of men, and in doing so we are clearly authorized to say that He does not look upon human sin merely with the eye of a jud…

Although the courage of David appears to have failed him when he fled from his son, Absalom, yet certain other noble characteristics came out in brilliant relief and among the rest, his large-heartedness and his thoughtfulness for others. A man in such a despe…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 22, 1890
THE words are very direct and personal—and that is what I wish my sermon to be. My soul is more and more set upon immediate conversions. I have no voice with which to play the orator—I have only enough strength to be an earnest pleader with your souls. I want…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 28, 1885
BRETHREN, it is a good thing to be under the sound of the word of God. Even if the very lowest motive should induce persons to come to hear the gospel, it is nevertheless a good thing that they should come. We have heard of some who have even come to steal, an…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 28, 1886
WE are joyfully reminded by the apostle that we have not come to Mount Sinai and its overwhelming manifestations. After Israel had kept the feast of the Passover, God was pleased to give His people a sort of Pentecost, and more fully to manifest Himself and Hi…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 11, 1899
ON whatever subjects I may be called to preach, I feel it to be a duty which I dare not neglect to be continually going back to the doctrine of the cross—the fundamental truth of justification by faith which is in Christ Jesus. This topic is essential to the l…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 2, 1911
Those who expect to find the road to heaven smooth and unobstructed will discover little in the experience of the ancient saints to support the expectation. The Lord’s people have, in all ages, been tried people. Cowper well says,—
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 7, 1862
OUR nature is fond of change. Although man was made in the image of God at first, it is plain enough that any trace of immutability which he may once have possessed has long ago departed. Man, unrenewed, could he possess the joys of heaven, would in time grow…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 1, 1877
SEE, beloved, whence every good thing flows, “I will pour upon the house of David the spirit of grace.” The starting point is the Lord’s sovereign act in giving the Spirit. Every work of grace begins with God. No gracious thought or act ever originates in the…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 2, 1900
THE text, as we observed on a former occasion [Sermon #47, Christ’s Prayer for His People], contains two prayers—a negative prayer and a positive prayer. First, there is the negative prayer, “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world.” “There a…
