Against Puseyite Idolatry
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 17, 1866
THE woman’s conscience had been aroused by Christ’s declaration of her sin. He was touching upon matters of the most vital importance, and her depraved heart naturally shrunk from the lancet.

David Warned and Rewarded
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 20, 1902
DAVID was constantly singing the praises of God’s Word, although, as I have often reminded you, he had only a small portion of the Scriptures compared with the complete Bible which we possess. If, then, it had pleased God that the Canon of Revelation should ha…
Justice Vindicated and Righteousness Exemplified
Charles Spurgeon • May 2, 1907
THE death of our Lord Jesus Christ answered many valuable purposes. It manifested the manifold wisdom of God. To angels in heaven and to saints on earth, God never appeared so infinitely wise as in the ordaining of the plan of salvation by the substitution of…
Christ’s Glory Turned to Shame
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 16, 1911
DAVID had many times been the subject of cruel mockery and therefore while writing this Psalm, probably in the first place about himself, he also described in it one of the bitterest of our Savior’s sufferings. What an illustration this is of the union which e…
A Poor Man’s Cry, and What Came of It
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 8, 1891
ON the morning of last Lord’s Day [Sermon #2192, The Joyous Return ] we labored to bring sinners to their God, and the Lord graciously made the Word effectual. We gave voice to the invitation to return, and we entreated men to take with them words, and turn un…
The Pentecostal Wind and Fire
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 18, 1881
FROM the descent of the Holy Ghost at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first that He is that now, for as God He remains forever the same—whatsoev…
Driving Out the Canaanites and Their Iron Chariots
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 12, 1888
WHEN the children of Israel had come to Canaan, and by God’s good care had entered into the land that flowed with milk and honey, they were not immediately at rest, for the Canaanites were there— there in possession, there in strong cities, which seemed to be…
Jehovah-Jireh
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 12, 1884
will provide,” or “Jehovah will be seen.” We are offered a variety of interpretations, but the exact idea is that of seeing and being seen. For God to see is to provide. Our own word “provide,” is only Latin for “to see.” You know how we say that we will see t…
The Great Physician and His Patients
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 5, 1865
THIS was Christ’s apology for mingling with publicans and sinners when the Pharisees murmured against Him. He triumphantly cleared Himself by showing that according to the fitness of things He was perfectly in order. He was acting according to His official cha…
Love’s Lamentation
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 8, 1902
THE children of Israel had passed through great trouble, but all of it was brought upon them by their own sin. Yet, in their time of trouble, God had remembered them in the greatness of His grace and mercy. They had been carried into captivity in Babylon, and…
On Whose Side Are You?
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 4, 1880
DURING the last few days in which the stir of a general election has moved the quietest of our streets, every one of you must have been asked many times on which side you are. Some are enthusiastic on this side and some are quite as warm on the other, and the…
Cheer for the Worker, and Hope for London
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 28, 1880
IT is clear from this, dear friends, that even he who was not a whit behind the chief of the apostles sometimes needed special comfort. It is possible that even the bravest of the brave may be afraid. Sinking of heart assailed even Samson while as yet the thou…
The Sinner’s Only Alternative
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 28, 1904
OUTSIDE the gates of Samaria at the time mentioned in our text, you might have seen four miserable beings, gaunt and thin, with that sharpness of eye and visage which is ever the effect of protracted hunger. They were lepers, suffering from a loathsome disease…
Am I Clear of His Blood?
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 20, 1862
CAIN was of the wicked one and slew his brother. “The way of Cain” is not hard to describe. He is too proud to offer atonement for his sin, he prefers his own way of sacrifice, he presents a bloodless oblation, he hates the obedience of faith, he smites the fa…
Prayer, the Cure for Care
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 11, 1884
WE have the faculty of forethought, but like all our faculties, it has been perverted and it is often abused. It is good for a man to have a holy care and to pay due attention to every item of his life, but alas! it is very easy to make it into an unholy care…
Everlasting Love Revealed
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 15, 1890
THUS speaks the Israel of God. She seems to wake up as if she had long been asleep, and had forgotten a grand fact; a fact which she ought to have treasured up in her fondest memory. Suddenly startling into recollection, she cries, “The Lord has appeared of ol…
“Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?”
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 22, 1888
THIS method of questioning the person to be instructed is known to teachers as the Socratic Method.
Grieve Not the Holy Spirit
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1867
IT is a very clear proof of the personality of the Holy Spirit that He can be grieved. Now, it would be very difficult to imagine an influence, or a mere spiritual emanation, being grieved. We can only grieve a person, and inasmuch as the Holy Ghost may be gri…
The Judgment Upon Zacharias
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 20, 1916
UNBELIEF is everywhere a great sin, and a grievous mistake. Unbelief has proved the ruin of those countless multitudes who, having heard the Gospel, rejected it, died in their sins, and have been consigned to the place of torment, and await the fiercer judgmen…
A Cheery Word in Troublous Times
Charles Spurgeon
THE presence of a brave man in the hour of danger is a very great comfort to his companions. It is a grand thing to observe Paul so bold, so calm, in the midst of all the hurly-burly of the storm, and talking so cheerfully, and so encouragingly, to the crew an…
Joy Hindering Faith
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 23, 1892
THE disciples were gathered together with the doors of the house fast closed, for they were afraid of the Jewish mob. Suddenly HE came, HE who was chief in their thoughts, the Christ whom they had seen dead upon the cross, whom some of them had helped to bury.…
The Empty Place: a Christmas Day Sermon
Charles Spurgeon
THERE may be much to learn from an empty place. The world thinks much of the places which have been emptied through the home-going of its celebrated men. Those who have served the world are remembered by it, those who have served the church are remembered too,…
Suffering Without the Camp
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 4, 1900
IN one sense, sanctification is wholly the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, but there is another meaning, which is more usually affixed to the term, in which sanctification is rightly described as the work of God the Holy Spirit. Many disputes have arisen concer…
The Prince of Life
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 20, 1890
PETER does not conceal the death of Christ, he is not ashamed of the fact that his Lord was crucified. God forbid that any of us should be ashamed of the cross, may we speak of it without a blush!
