Charles Spurgeon • May 1, 1887
FOR several Sabbath mornings I have sought the comfort and edification of God’s people, although I trust I have not, even in such discourses, overlooked the unconverted. How can we forget them while they are in such peril? At the same time, the main drift of t…

I COULD not deal with all the text on the last occasion, so I return to it. May the Holy Spirit bedew the Word afresh and make it a joy to meditate thereon!
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 21, 1869
REMEMBER that our Lord did not only inculcate prayer with great earnestness, but He was Himself a brilliant example of it. It always gives force to a teacher’s words when his hearers know that he carries out his own instructions. Jesus was a mighty prophet bot…

* [*The real text is the whole passage from verse fourteen to thirty, and the reader is requested to turn to it before reading the sermon.] SOME people are wonderfully enamored of anything that is old. An old coin, an old picture, an old book, or even a piece…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 23, 1909
THE preacher will have one hearer tonight to whom his text will be amazingly applicable—namely, himself. Here we have meeting after meeting and engagement after engagement. We are always working as hard as we can, but we have put on much extra canvas just now,…
Charles Spurgeon • May 13, 1868
JOHN abounded in charity, but with the utmost stretch of it he could not have written to all young men in this style, for, alas! all young men are not strong, nor does the Word of God abide in them all, nor have they all overcome the wicked one. Strong in musc…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 17, 1912
IT is a token of the great mercy of God that He is very earnest in His pleading with men to turn from their sins that He may not be constrained to punish them, as He must do if they go on in their iniquities.
Charles Spurgeon • May 26, 1861
THAT is a singular way with which to commence a verse, “At that time Jesus answered.” If you will look at the context you will not perceive that anybody had asked Him a question or that He was indeed in conversation with any human being. Yet it says, “Jesus an…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 9, 1877
THOSE of you, dear friends, who were present this morning, will remember that our subject was “Jesus Christ Himself.” [No. 1388, Vol. 23. “Jesus Christ Himself.”] We dwelt upon His blessed person. Our faith is fixed on Him, our affections are drawn to Him, our…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 20, 1896
THE apostle Paul in his writings, is notable for the fact that he scarcely ever mentions the name of the Lord Jesus Christ without pausing to praise and bless Him. There are many benedictions and hallelujahs in Paul’s epistles, which might have been omitted so…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 18, 1900
THIS morning [Sermon #1624, WELCOME! WELCOME!], I showed you, dear friends, how joyfully Jesus receives sinners—how He welcomes them—how glad He is to find those whom He came to seek and to save. From this text, it appears that, when sinners receive Jesus, the…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 18, 1872
DAVID sought deliverance from imminent peril, and he felt sure of obtaining it, for being a servant of the Lord he knew that his life was too precious in the sight of God for it to be lightly brought to an end. It should be a source of consolation to all tried…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 17, 1910
[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon, upon parts of the same passage, are #1190, A Song Among the Lilies, #2442, “My Beloved is Mine,” and #2477, Darkness Before the Dawn] IT has been well said that, if there is a happy verse in the Bible, it is this one, “My belove…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 20, 1898
THE word “who” was put into this verse by the translators, but it is not wanted, it is better as I have read it to you, “The Almighty hath vexed my soul.” The marginal reading is perhaps a more exact translation of the original, “The Almighty hath embittered m…
Charles Spurgeon • May 9, 1880
IT is a very great privilege to be permitted to pray for our fellow-men. Prayer in each man’s case must necessarily begin with personal petition, for until the man is himself accepted with God, he cannot act as an intercessor for others and herein lies part of…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 6, 1911
PERHAPS someone here thoughtlessly says, “Well, whoever calls affliction, ‘light,’ must have been a person who knew very little about what affliction really is. If he had suffered as I have done, he would not have written about ‘our light affliction.’ He must…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 20, 1891
WE may laudably exercise curiosity with regard to the first proclamation of the gospel in our own quarter of the globe. We are happy that history so accurately tells us, by the pen of Luke, when first the gospel was preached in Europe, and by whom, and who was…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 19, 1875
JOB might well have been driven frantic by his miserable comforters. It is wonderful that he did not express himself far more bitterly than he did. Surely Satan found better instruments for his work in those three ungenerous friends than in the marauding Sabea…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1910
WE scarcely need go over the story. There was a dearth in the land, Elisha came to the college of the prophets, which consisted of about a hundred brethren, and found that they were in want, as the result of the famine. While he was teaching the young men, he…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 23, 1884
YOU remember that last Sabbath day we spoke of two things vitally essential to a true sacrifice, and the first upon which we then enlarged was the laying on of the hands of the offerer upon the victim, by which he accepted it as his sacrifice, and made a typic…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 23, 1889
A GREAT storm was stirring the mind of Jesus. We find, on looking at the original, that He was indignant and troubled. We have a very literal translation in the margin of the Revised Version. And instead of reading, “He groaned in the spirit and was troubled,”…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 8, 1896
THERE is no preaching like that which grows out of our own experience. You perceive, dear friends, that David had trusted in the Lord, in very sore and singular trouble God had delivered him, and at the close of that deliverance he wrote this psalm, to be sung…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 12, 1869
THE prophets frequently spoke in parables. They did this partly to excite the attention of their hearers. Those to whom they spoke might not have listened to didactic truth expressed in abstract terms, but when they heard mention of common things, such as bell…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 25, 1877
LAST Thursday evening, with considerable difficulty, I stood here to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I handled one of the simplest imaginable texts, full of nothing but the very plainest elements of the Gospel. Within a very few minutes I had a harvest…
