Charles Spurgeon • Apr 18, 1912

The Battle of Life
Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1916
THIS question occurs in the course of an argument. The apostle was proving that the minister who gives all his time to the preaching of the Word is entitled to a maintenance from those people among whom he labors. He gives divers illustrations, among them this…
Faint—But Not Faint-Hearted
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 14, 1894
THESE three hundred men, though faint, were not faint-hearted. If they had been cowards, they would have left Gideon when he made the proclamation, “Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.” Twenty and two thousand ac…
Truly Eating the Flesh of Jesus
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 9, 1876
OUR Lord Jesus did not in this passage, allude to the Lord’s Supper, as some desiring to maintain their sacramental superstitions have dared to affirm. I will not dwell upon the argument that there was no Lord’s Supper at the time to allude to, though there is…
The Seed Upon Stony Ground
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 14, 1873
THE Gospel seed, according to the parable, falls upon all kinds of soil. Some of its precious grains drop upon the hard pathway, some upon the rock, some among the thorns, and only a portion, perhaps a smaller proportion than one in four, falls upon good groun…
Christ’s “New Commandment”
Charles Spurgeon • May 18, 1905
I CAN never doubt, or for a moment distrust, the affection of my dear people to myself. I certainly do not ask for any more of your love, for I have as much as one man ought to have—perhaps a little more—certainly a great deal more than I deserve. I can now fa…
The Orphan’s Father
Charles Spurgeon
THE Lord God of Israel, the one only living, and true God, has this for a special mark of His character, that in Him the fatherless finds mercy. “A Father of the fatherless, and a Judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.” False gods of the heathen a…
“He Blessed Him There”
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 13, 1910
JACOB had said to the angel, “Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.” In answer to that inquiry, he was gently rebuked. The angel did not come to gratify Jacob’s curiosity, but He came as a messenger from God with a blessing, “and he blessed him there.” There are a g…
The Sitting of the Refiner
Charles Spurgeon
THIS is spoken of as one of the results of the coming of the Lord—He would test and try all things, destroy the false and the evil, and make those pure whom He permitted to remain. Behold, the Promised One has come! He whom Israel sought suddenly appeared in H…
“Going and Weeping”
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 18, 1907
[Another sermon by Mr. C. H. Spurgeon, upon verses 4 and 5 is #1752, Mourners, Inquirers, Covenanters.
The Covenant
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 3, 1911
[Another Sermon by C. H. Spurgeon upon the same text, is #2681, Covenant Blessings] IT is a wonderful thing that God should enter into gracious covenant with men. That He should make man, and be gracious to man, is easily to be conceived, but that He should st…
Ruth’s Reward; or, Cheer for Converts
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 29, 1885
THIS was the language of Boaz, a man of substance and of note in Bethlehem, to a poor stranger of whom he had heard that she had left her kindred, and the idols of her nation, that she might become a worshipper of the living and true God. He acted a noble part…
The Arrows of the Bow Broken in Zion
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 19, 1868
THE writer of this song of triumph gloried as a patriot in the defeat of his country’s foes. He did better, he triumphed as a believer in JEHOVAH in the victories which were worked by the power of the Lord his God. I have sometimes wished that we English Chris…
Pride Catechized and Condemned
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 2, 1876
PRIDE grows apace like other ill weeds. It will live on any soil. In the natural heart it flourishes, springing up without sowing, and growing without watering, and even in the renewed heart it all too readily takes root when Satan casts abroad a handful of it…
Understandest Thou What Thou Readest?
Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1884
HOW this Negro chamberlain of the Queen of Ethiopia came to be a proselyte we do not know. The book which he was so fond of reading may have been the means of leading him to worship the God of Abraham, certainly it has answered that purpose thousands of times.…
From Paul’s Conversion
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 7, 1870
THE conversion of Saul of Tarsus was one of the most remarkable facts in Christian history. Perhaps there has never happened an event of equal importance since the days of Pentecost. It was important as a testimony to the power and truth of the Gospel. When su…
Sin and Grace
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 22, 1908
[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon this text are as follows, #37, Law and Grace, #2012, Grace Abounding Over Abounding Sin] THERE are two very powerful forces in the world, which have been here ever since the time when Eve partook of the forbidden fruit in th…
The Jewel of Peace
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 18, 1877
WHEN the heart is full of love it finds the hand too feeble for its desires. Hence it seeks relief in intercession and benediction—wishing, praying, and blessing where it cannot actually effect its loving purpose. The apostle would have done for the Thessaloni…
God’s People Melted and Tried
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 18, 1892
OBSERVE, here, that God represents Himself as greatly concerned to know what to do with His people. Of course, He speaks after the manner of men, for, as the infinitely wise God, knowing all things from the beginning, JEHOVAH knew what He would do. But yet, in…
The Pastor’s Parting Blessing
Charles Spurgeon
THE Christian is a man of generous actions, but his wishes go far beyond his deeds. Where he cannot be beneficent he is benevolent. If he cannot actually accomplish good for all, yet he anxiously desires it. If it be not in his power to confer grace upon any,…
Martha and Mary
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 29, 1915
I THINK I see the Man of Sorrows as He is traversing the high road, attended by His few friends and disciples. Where will He refresh Himself when the time is come to cease from toil and take food? Where is His house? Surely the Great Prophet has some place whe…
The Lesson of the Almond Tree
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 10, 1900
OBSERVE, first, dear friends, that before Jeremiah becomes a speaker for God, he must be a seer.
Nearer and Dearer
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 2, 1868
THE most healthy state for a Christian is that of unbroken and intimate fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. From such a state of heart he should never decline. “Abide in me, and I in you,” is the loving precept of our ever loving Lord. But alas! my brethren…
Advance!
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 12, 1905
IT is a good thing sometimes to look back—to take a retrospective view of our life. It is a very bad thing to live upon the past—to say, “I believe I am a child of God because I had certain spiritual enjoyments and experiences ten or twelve years ago.” Ah! suc…
