I HAVE been somewhat perplexed in studying this text, for according to the book of Exodus, the tabernacle—the tabernacle strictly so called—did not exist at the time to which it refers. In the succeeding chapters of this very book, we have an account of the gi…

MAN is not much changed since the days of Adam. In his bodily frame he appears to be exactly similar, for skeletons many hundred years’ old are the exact counterparts of ours. And sure enough that which was recorded in history as having been done by man centur…
Charles Spurgeon • May 3, 1860
THESE sentences suggest a contrast. David’s religion was one of perfect liberty—“Thou hast loosed my bonds.” It was one of complete service—“Truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid.” Did I say the text suggested a contrast? Inde…

GOD’S first and greatest object is His own glory. There was a time, before all time, when there was no day but the Ancient of days, when God dwelt alone in the magnificence of His sublime solitude.
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 7, 1864
BECAUSE God is the maker, and creator, and sustainer of all things, He has a right to do as He wills with all His works. “Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 15, 1861
FELLOWSHIP with God was one of the richest privileges of unfallen man. The Lord God walked in the garden and talked with Adam as a man talks with his friend. So long as he was willing and obedient, Adam ate the fat of the land, and among the rich dainties, and…
Charles Spurgeon • May 29, 1859
WHEN the soul is seriously impressed with the conviction of its guilt, when terror and alarm get hold upon it concerning the inevitable consequences of its sin, the soul is afraid of God. It dreads at that time every attribute of divinity. But most of all the…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1858
IT seems that everything Christ-like must have a history like that of Christ. His beginnings were small—the manger and the stable. So with the beginnings of that society which we love and which we believe to be the very incarnation of the Spirit of Christ. Its…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 18, 1859
THIS was the forlorn hope of the Ninevites, “Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?” The book of Jonah should be exceedingly comfortable to those who are despairing because of the wickedness of their…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 27, 1856
I SHALL not confine myself to the text. It being an old custom to take texts when we preach, I have taken one, but I shall address you, at large, upon a subject which I am sure will occupy your attention, and has done for many days and years past—the subject o…

WHEN the Lord would win His people Israel from their iniquities, He did not leave a stone unturned, but gave them precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little. He taught them sometimes with a rod in His hand, when He smote them with s…

TO the lover of Jesus it is very pleasant to observe how the Lord Jesus Christ has always stood foremost in glory from before the foundation of the world, and will do so as long as eternity shall last.
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 4, 1860
MANY of God’s ministers have been accused of taking pleasure in preaching upon this terrible subject of “the wrath to come.” We were indeed strange beings if so doleful a subject could afford us any comfort. I should count myself to be infinitely less than a m…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 19, 1865
PETER tells us that Noah’s ark and baptism are figures of salvation. He puts the two together as pictures of the way by which we are saved. Noah was not saved by the world’s being gradually reformed and restored to its primitive innocence, but a sentence of co…

THIS sentence occurs in the very remarkable song of Hannah, who was equally illustrious as a poetess and prevalent as a suppliant. She sings an experiential song, for her deep sorrow had been a living death to her and her joyful exaltation was a triumphant res…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 2, 1856
I shall not attempt to preach upon this text. I shall only make a few remarks that have occurred to my own mind, for I could not preach today. I have been utterly unable to study, but I thought that even a few words might be acceptable to you this morning, and…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 17, 1856
ALMOST every event has its prophetic prelude. It is an old and common saying, that, “Coming events cast their shadows before them.” The wise man teaches us the same lesson in the verse before us.
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1856
SEVERAL Sabbaths ago, we preached upon the deliverance of the children of Israel out of Egypt by the blood of the Passover [See sermon #55, THE EXODUS], and we told you then that we believed that event to be typical of the coming forth of God’s people from tha…
Charles Spurgeon • May 30, 1858
I SHALL not pretend to preach from the whole of my text this morning, short though it is. The word “now” is to me the most prominent word in the text and I shall make it so this morning. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” It is astonishing how distance blu…

THE uninspired book of the Maccabees is perhaps the best interpreter of this passage in Daniel. The prophet, we think, refers to the great persecution under Antiochus, when the followers of Judas Maccabees, knowing their God and keeping close to Him amidst gen…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 25, 1860
THE difference between the Egyptians and Israel was exceedingly manifest. At first sight it seemed to be very greatly to the advantage of Egypt. They had the whip in their hand, and poor Israel smarted under the lash. Egypt possessed the toil of the Israelites…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 5, 1858
BEHOLD a wonder of divine love. When God makes His creatures, one creation He regards as sufficient, and should they lapse from the condition in which He has created them, He suffers them, as a rule, to endure the penalty of their transgression, and to abide i…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 23, 1859
I SHALL not, this evening, attempt to prove that the Song of Solomon has a spiritual meaning. I am sure it has. It has been frequently said, and I believe, has commonly been thought, that this song was originally written by Solomon upon his marriage with Phara…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 15, 1858
IT is a very happy circumstance when the servants of God are able to turn everything to account in their ministry. Now, the apostle Peter was summoned before the priests and Sadducees, the chief of his nation, to answer for having restored a man who was lame f…
