The Well-Beloved’s Vineyard

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 12, 1912

WE recognize at once that Jesus is here. Who but He can be meant by “My wellbeloved”? Here is a word of possession and a word of affection—He is mine, and my Well-beloved. He is loveliness itself, the most loving and lovable of beings, and we personally love H…

The Question Between the Plagues

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 7, 1897

PHARAOH is the type and image of proud men. God permitted him to be left to the natural hardness of his heart and he stood up against JEHOVAH in a very remarkable way. Those who are students of the ancient history of Egypt, those especially who have seen the r…

The Ravens’ Cry

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 14, 1866

I SHALL open this sermon with a quotation. I must give you in Caryl’s own words his note upon ravens. “Naturalists tell us, that when the raven has fed his young in the nest till they are well fledged and able to fly abroad, then he thrusts them out of the nes…

The Headstone of the Corner

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 23, 1878

IT would be difficult, if not impossible, to fix with certainty the occasion which first suggested this Psalm. It has even been thought to be purely prophetic and rather foretelling history than narrating it. I rather incline to the opinion that some Israelite…

The Special Prayer Meeting

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 25, 1875

IT was a great wonder that the infant church of Christ was not destroyed. Truly, she was like a lone lamb in the midst of furious wolves, without either earthly power, or prestige, or patronage to protect her, yet as though she wore a charmed life, she escaped…

The Redeemer’s Face Set Like a Flint

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 4, 1901

THESE are, in prophecy, the words of the Messiah. This is the language of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Deliverer, whom God hath sent into the world to be the one and only Savior. We know that this is the case because it is to Him, and to Him alone, that the…

“If You Can”—“If You Can”

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 4, 1891

WE are all familiar with the story of this youth, who was possessed by a dumb spirit, which caused him to fall into violent fits of epilepsy, and worked worse evils, casting him, at times, into the waters and into the fire, to destroy him. The father intended…

A Dirge for the Down-Grade and a Song for Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 18, 1889

A MOURNER is always an interesting person. We pass by joyful people without a thought. But when we see the ensigns of woe we pause and sympathize even if we dare not inquire. The new widow, the fatherless child, the bereaved husband—these have a history in whi…

“Hiding in Thee!”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 6, 1905

WHAT a great mercy it is for us that David had not a smooth path and an easy life! We should have lost much valuable instruction if he had been able to hold on the even tenor of his way continually.

Now, and Then

Charles Spurgeon

IN this chapter the apostle Paul has spoken in the highest terms of charity or love. He accounts it to be a grace far more excellent than any of the spiritual gifts of which he had just before been speaking. It is easy to see that there were good reasons for t…

The Paraclete

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 6, 1872

THE unspeakable gift of the Son of God was followed up by the equally priceless gift of the Holy Ghost. Must it not be confessed by us that we think far less of the Holy Spirit than we should? I am sure we do not exalt the Savior too much, nor is He too often…

Abraham’s Trial: a Lesson for Believers

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 27, 1891

WE may regard the father of the faithful as being a pattern of his children. As God dealt with Abraham, so will He deal in measure with all those who, as believers, are the children of believing Abraham.

Plain Directions to Those Who Would Be Saved From Sin

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 15, 1888

DAVID was surrounded with many wicked and cruel enemies. They touched him in a tender place when they mocked his religion, and so turned his glory into shame. They invented all kinds of lies against him, but the worst of all was that they said, “There is no he…

The Maintenance of Good Works

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 2, 1888

LAST Thursday evening my sermon was based upon the contrast in the second chapter of Ephesians, between the expressions “not of works” and “created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” I tried to show the true place of good works in connection with salvation. Man…

Washed to Greater Foulness

Charles Spurgeon

I FEEL certain that I am sent on a special errand at this time. Before my mind’s eye I see a soul whose awful reflections are hurrying him to despair. He refuses counsel, and will not listen to direction, for dread has made him desperate. I would have a word i…

Jesus Meeting His Warriors

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 11, 1864

WHAT a splendid type is Abram, in the narrative before us, of our Lord Jesus Christ! Let us read this story of Abram in connection with our Savior, and see how full of meaning it is. Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the abundance of His love, had taken us to be His b…

Deep Calleth Unto Deep

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 11, 1869

IN the grandeur of nature there are amazing harmonies. When the storm agitates the ocean below, the heavens above hear the tumult, and answer to the clamor. Down comes a deluge of sonorous hail or swift-descending rain, attended with peals of thunder and flash…

Jesus Appearing to Mary Magdalene

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 16, 1865

THE doctrine of a risen Savior is exceedingly precious. The resurrection is the cornerstone of the entire building of Christianity. It is the keystone of the arch of our salvation. It would take us many a discourse to set forth all the streams of living water…

The Perpetuity of the Gospel

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 20, 1899

LAST Lord’s-day morning I preached upon the perpetuity of the law of God [Sermon #1660, The Perpetuity of the Law of God], basing my remarks upon our Lord’s words, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise p…

God’s Remembrance of His Covenant

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 14, 1886

THIS Psalm deserves to be read very carefully. It mentions many of the afflictions of God’s ancient people, but it clearly sets forth that their afflictions were the distinct result of their rebellions and sins. It is not so with all the afflictions of God’s p…

The Stony Heart Removed

Charles Spurgeon • May 25, 1862

THE fall of man was utter and entire. Some things when they have become dilapidated may be repaired, but the old house of mankind is so thoroughly decayed that it must be pulled down even to its foundation, and a new house must be erected. To attempt mere impr…

Surveying the Field

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 24, 1913

NEHEMIAH, it seems, prepared himself for action by taking a survey of the necessities of the case.

Our Last Journey

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 9, 1877

THE season of the year may well-remind us of our mortality. The corn, which a few weeks ago was green and vigorous, has now for the most part yielded to the sickle. Many flowers which adorned our gardens have exchanged their bloom for ripening seed. The year h…
