Idols Found Wanting, But Jehovah Found Faithful

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 9, 1888

THE confidence of Babylon is buried among her heaps of rubbish, for her gods have fallen from their thrones. “Bel bows down, Nebo stoops.” As for us, beloved, our trust is in the living God, who lives to bear and carry His chosen, even in Jehovah, the only tru…

Jesus Near But Unrecognized

Charles Spurgeon

THE Lord may be present with His people, and yet they may not be conscious of it. They may be conscious of the effect produced thereby, but not of the fact itself. When the Lord visited Abraham in his tent on the plains of Mamre, at the first, at least, Abraha…

God’s Writing Upon Man’s Heart

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 14, 1906

THIS is not the language of the old covenant, but of the new covenant. The prospects of life held out in the law have all dissolved into a ministration of death as the penalty of disobedience. Its voice might have once captivated hearts that knew not their own…

God Comforting His People

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 1, 1906

THE joy of the prophet was too great for him to give adequate expression to it with his own solitary tongue, and therefore, he would have even the angels of God and the redeemed from among men in heaven to praise the Lord for His superabounding mercy. He would…

Concerning the Consolations of God

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 11, 1889

THESE are the words of Eliphaz, one of those three friends of Job who blundered dreadfully over his case. Their words are not to be despised, for they were men in the front rank of knowledge and experience. Eliphaz says, “With us are both the gray-headed and v…

The Choice of a Leader

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 1, 1875

MAN can hardly be retained in the place of wisdom, even if brought there. Truth lies between two extremes, and man, like a pendulum, swings either too much this way or that. He abides not long in one stay, but tosses from side to side––never, except by divine…

Sheep Among Wolves

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 19, 1877

WELL may the text begin with a “Behold,” for it contains some special wonders, such as can be seen nowhere else. First, here is a tender and loving Shepherd sending His sheep into the most dangerous position—“I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves.”…

A Solemn Impeachment of Unbelievers

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 13, 1874

NO doubt if our Lord Jesus were on earth, He would find many persons for whom He would pray, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It is no doubt true of many who are living in great sin that they do it ignorantly, not knowing the full measur…

Christ’s Resurrection and Our Newness of Life

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 29, 1891

I HAVE preached before upon the whole verse [Sermon #1627, Volume 27, Baptism—a Burial], so that this morning I shall take the liberty to dwell chiefly upon the latter part of it—“Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so w…

Harvest Time

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 11, 1904

I SHALL not notice the connection, but I shall simply take these words as a motto, and my sermon will be founded upon a harvest field. I shall rather use the harvest for my text than any passage that I find here. “Is it not wheat harvest today?” I suppose the…

The Barrier

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 27, 1881

THE text refers to the glorified church of our Lord Jesus Christ. That perfected company of the elect and sanctified is set forth in this wonderful chapter under the image of a city descending “from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husban…

Unseasonable Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 1, 1903

AT first sight we might suppose that crying unto God was so good a thing that it would never be necessary for the Lord to ask the question, “Wherefore criest thou unto me?” But the question we are now to consider shows that there may be a time when, even to a…

The Loaded Wagon

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 24, 1862

THE other Sabbath morning we went into the corn fields to glean with Boaz and Ruth, and I trust that many of the timid and fainthearted were encouraged to partake of the handfuls which are let fall on purpose for them by the order of our generous Lord.

“Pray, Always Pray”

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 12, 1902

THE present time in which we live is highly favored and ought to be highly valued. Let us never grudge the patriarchs their communion with God when sometimes He spoke personally into their ear, or revealed Himself visibly to them. Blessed are our eyes, for the…

A Miracle of Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1916

MANASSEH was born three years after his father’s memorable sickness. You will remember that Hezekiah was stricken with a mortal disease, and Isaiah, the prophet, come to him and said, “Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die, and not…

“The Lord Is Risen Indeed”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 13, 1873

THE first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ, and following apostolic example, we have made the first day of the week to be our Sabbath. Does not this intimate to us that the rest of our souls is to be found in the resurrection of our Savi…

A Song, a Solace, a Sermon, and a Summons

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 29, 1867

THIS one hundred and thirty-sixth Psalm was constantly sung in the Temple by appointed singers, among whom the names of Heman and Jeduthun are mentioned. These, we are told in the Book of Chronicles, were chosen to give thanks unto JEHOVAH, whose “mercy endure…

The Ascension of Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 26, 1871

OUR blessed Lord and Master has gone from us. From the Mount of Olives, the place where in dread conflict His garments were rolled in blood, He has mounted in triumph to His throne. After having shown Himself for forty days amongst His beloved disciples, givin…

Light for Those Who Sit in Darkness

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 10, 1871

FULL of love to the place where He had been brought up, our Lord had gone to Nazareth, and in the synagogue He had preached the gladdest tidings. But alas, the greatest of prophets and the Lord of prophets received no honor in His own country. “He came unto hi…

The Sweet Harp of Consolation

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 14, 1867

WE sometimes speak and think very lightly of doubts and fears, but such is not God’s estimate of them. Our heavenly Father evidently considers them to be great evils, extremely mischievous to us, and exceedingly dishonorable to Himself, for He very frequently…

God’s Law in Man’s Heart

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 28, 1897

WHEN God gave to Israel His law—the law of the first covenant—it was such a holy law that it ought to have been kept by the people. It was a just and righteous law, concerning which God said, “Ye shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk therein:…

The Holy Spirit Glorifying Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 27, 1904

THE needs of spiritual men are very great, but they cannot be greater than the power of the Divine Trinity is able to meet. We have one God—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—One in Three, and Three in One, and that blessed Trinity in Unity gives Himself to sinners t…

The Ever-Living Priest

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 22, 1886

THE apostle Paul is very much at home with his theme whenever he is extolling his Master. When handling the Jewish types and figures, with which he was so familiar, he was charmed to point out how far superior the Lord Jesus Christ is to any and all the priest…
