Creation—an Argument for Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 27, 1862

AT the very time when the Chaldeans had cast up mounds round about the city of Jerusalem, and when the sword and famine and pestilence had desolated the whole land, Jeremiah, while in prison, was commanded by his God to purchase a field of Hanameel, his uncle’…

Encouragement for Believers

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 27, 1881

THE second verse contains my actual text. It is the argument by which faith is led to look for the blessings promised in the third verse. It is habitual with some persons to spy out the dark side of every question or fact—they fix their eyes upon the “waste pl…

An Observation of the Preacher

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 26, 1907

SOME translators read this passage, “Better is the end of a speech than the beginning thereof.” And I doubt not that many of my hearers quite concur in that opinion. You endeavor to be patient when we begin, but as soon as we utter the word “finally” your eyes…

Patient Job, and the Baffled Enemy

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 28, 1890

THAT is to say, in all this trial and under all this temptation, Job kept right with God. During all the losses of his estate and the deaths of his children he did not speak in an unworthy manner. The text speaks admiringly of “all this.” And a great “all” it…

Faith and the Witness Upon Which It Is Founded

Charles Spurgeon

YOU observe that I have somewhat corrected the translation. The same word is employed in every case in the original, but for the sake of variety of expression, the translators have used four different words in our version. And so, instead of improving the sens…

A Sermon for Men of Taste

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 6, 1862

“IF so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” “ If, if :” then is not a thing to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race. “If:” then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. “I…

The Devil’s Last Throw

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 10, 1883

OUR Lord Jesus Christ taught the people much by His words, but He taught them even more by His actions. He was always preaching, His whole life was a heavenly discourse on divine truth, and themiracles which He worked were not only the proofs of His deity, but…

The Believer’s Present Rest

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 4, 1909

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text are sermons #866, Rest and #2090, A Delicious Experience] THE text does not say that we who have believed shall enter into rest. That is a very great truth, but it is not the truth that is taught here. We “ do…

Jacob’s Waking Exclamation

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 21, 1861

THROUGH his own foolish wisdom Jacob had been compelled to leave his father’s house. Perhaps we are scarcely able to judge of the sorrowful feelings which this banishment would beget in his soul.

Hope, Yet No Hope. No Hope, Yet Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 8, 1866

WHO can understand the subtlety of the human heart? Well said the prophet, “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.” The physician of the body had need be skillful to track disease to its secret origin and to follow it through all its m…

The Pastor's Life Wrapped Up with His People's Steadfastness

Charles Spurgeon

MINISTERS, who are really sent of God, greatly rejoice in the spiritual prosperity of their people. If they see God’s Word prosper, they prosper. If the church of God is blessed, they are blessed. Their life is wrapped up in the spiritual life of their people.…

The Recorders

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 25, 1876

DAVID took care of every part of divine worship. He saw to it that nothing was neglected in theservice of the God in whom he delighted. Let this stand as an example to us to be careful about everything which concerns the honor of God. Do not allow any of the d…

A Feast for Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1866

ISAIAH admired the husbandman’s skill in his calling. He mentions with admiration the various methods adopted by the farmer in the rotation of crops, in the choice of different soils for certain seeds, in the methods of binding up and stowing away his produce.…

Victor Emmanuel, Emancipator

Charles Spurgeon

ON a former occasion [Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 16, No. 915, “Sinners Bound with the Cords of Sin”], we contemplated the unconverted man as being bound by the cords of his sins. It was a very solemn and sorrowful topic. I trust it humbled us all,…

Welcome! Welcome!

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 16, 1881

MY subject has been suggested to me by the rendering of this passage given in the Revised Version, where we read—“But the multitudes perceiving it, followed Him; and He welcomed them.” Thedifference lies, you see, between the words, “He received them,” and, “H…

Peter’s Fall and Restoration

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 23, 1902

PETER’S fall, as we noticed in our reading, is four times recorded, at considerable length, but it is not once excused. There is not, in any one of the records, a single word said by way of palliation of his great guilt. John pictures Peter’s sin in colors of…

A Life-Long Occupation

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 14, 1888

IT is instructive to notice where this verse stands. The connection is a golden setting to the gem of the text. Here we have a description of the believer’s position before God. He has done with all carnal ordinances, and has no interest in the ceremonies of t…

Love’s Vigilance Rewarded

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 4, 1896

WHEN I look upon this great assembly of people, I think to myself—there will be many here to whom these chapters that we have read out of Solomon’s Song will seem very strange. Of course they will, for they are meant for the inner circle of believers in the Lo…

Our Youth Renewed

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 30, 1914

IN this delightful Psalm, one remarks how David finds something of praise within him in everything of which he thinks. There are some desponding, morbid, murmuring, ungrateful souls who find reasons for complaining everywhere, but a man of David’s spirit, on t…

And Why Not Me?

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 7, 1890

MATTHEW has placed this miracle immediately after the Sermon on the Mount. In all probability some little time intervened in which our Lord had preached at Capernaum and had also healed the people in the street, as we read just now in the first chapter of Mark…

A Prayer for the Church Militant

Charles Spurgeon

LET me direct your attention to the verse before the text, and then let us read the text in connection with it, “The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift t…

The Nail in a Sure Place

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 16, 1914

WE have read, in your hearing, the occasion of these words. Shebna the scribe, having become proud and vainglorious, was to be put away, and his place to be occupied by a better man, on whom God promised to establish His favor. When Shebna the scribe was put a…

No Difference

Charles Spurgeon • May 12, 1878

YOU see our Lord Jesus Christ’s philosophy of nature. He believed in the immediate presence and working of God. As the great Son of God, He had a very sensitive perception of the presence of HisFather in all the scenes around Him and therefore, He calls the su…

“Better Than Wine”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 5, 1896

THE Scriptural emblem of wine, which is intended to be the symbol of the richest earthly joy, has become desecrated in process of time by the sin of man. I suppose in the earlier ages when the Word of God was written, it would hardly have been conceivable that…
