Joy, a Duty

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 24, 1895

THERE is a marvelous medicinal power in joy. Most medicines are distasteful, but this, which is the best of all medicines, is sweet to the taste and comforting to the heart. We noticed, in our reading, that there had been a little tiff between two sisters in t…

Good Cheer From Christ’s Real Presence

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 21, 1909

WE have here a word of comfort given to a shipload of believers who were where their Lord had sent them . They had been unwilling to put out to sea, though it was probably calm enough at the time, but they did not wish to leave the Lord Jesus. He constrained t…

The Minister's Trumpet Blast and Church Member’s Warning

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1902

WE do not use instrumental music in the worship of God, because we consider that it would be a violation of the simplicity of our worship. We think it far better to hear the voices of Christian men and women than all the sounds which can be made by instruments…

A New Year’s Wish

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 5, 1911

THE Philippians had several times sent presents to Paul to supply his necessities. Though they were not themselves rich, yet they made a contribution and sent Epaphroditus with it, “an odour of sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.” Paul f…

A Delicious Experience

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 16, 1889

LAST Sabbath [#2089, Profitable Mixture] we meditated upon the fact that those who came out of Egypt did not enter into the rest of God. “They could not enter in because of unbelief.” Today I shall not seek so much to warn as to encourage, while we look at the…

“The Church of the Firstborn”

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 14, 1910

PAUL had just been giving a brief description of the great gathering of the children of Israel around mount Sinai, “the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire,” like a huge volcano. He had vividly portrayed “the blackness, and darkness, and tem…

The Sparrow and the Swallow

Charles Spurgeon • May 23, 1907

WHEN David was far away from the services of the tabernacle, he envied the birds that had built their nests near the sacred shrine. And Christians, in like manner, when they are debarred from the holy associations of Christian fellowship and united worship, al…

The Covenanter

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 31, 1887

THIS Psalm is intensely earnest. “Unto You, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.” The sentences are ingots of gold. Every word is exceeding weighty with sense and sincerity. I take it that one reason for this weight is the fact that David was in affliction. He says,…

Entangled in the Land

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 8, 1891

ISRAEL was clean escaped from Egypt. Not a hoof of their cattle was left behind, nor foot of child or aged man remained in the house of bondage. But though they were gone, they were not forgotten by the tyrant who had enslaved them. They had been a very useful…

A Promise and Precedent

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 14, 1909

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon, upon this passage, are as follows: Sermons #565, The Holy Spirit glorifying Christ; #2212, “Honey in the Mouth;” and #3062, The Spirit’s Office Towards Disciples] JESUS CHRIST, our gracious Lord and Master, is here speaking of t…

Christ’s Testimony Received

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 10, 1890

IN opening this discourse I would call your attention to the different statistics given by John’s disciples and by John himself. In the 26 th verse, the disciples say, “All men come to Him”—that is their judgment of how the ministry of Jesus was succeeding. Jo…

A Sermon to the Lord’s Little Children

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 18, 1883

(Revised Version). PROBABLY you ask, “Why does John say first, ‘I write,’ and then, ‘I have written’?” There is a beautiful touch of nature in this speedy change of tense. John was an extremely old man, and therefore while he says, “I write,” he adds, “I have…

Seeing and Testifying

Charles Spurgeon

THERE are two things joined together in the text which must never be parted, “We have seen and testify.” In the first place, never let any man testify what he has not seen. If you are not personally aware of it, do not tell it, it is the personality of the tes…

A Suitable Watchword

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 18, 1908

THIS was a prayer of David. It was offered under peculiar circumstances. He had been treacherously betrayed again and again. He delivered the city of Keilah from the Philistines, and then had to flee from the place, or the men of Keilah would have delivered hi…

A Plain Man’s Sermon

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 17, 1886

THE ceremonial law, as ordained by the hand of Moses and Aaron, called the worshippers of God to great carefulness before Him . Before their minds that solemn truth was ever made visible, “I the Lord your God am a jealous God.” Nothing might be done thoughtles…

The Top of the Ladder

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 25, 1883

THIS is a part of Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian believers. It is the closing clause and consummation of it. It mentions the grandest gift for which he prayed. His prayer was like that ladder which Jacob saw, the top of which reached to heaven and God, and the…

Opening Services

Charles Spurgeon

NO. 371 MEETING OF THE CONTRIBUTORS ON Tuesday evening, March 26th, the first of the Public Meetings in connection with the opening of the Tabernacle took place. It was limited exclusively to the Contributors to the Building Fund, of whom more than three thous…

The Fullness and the Filling

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 1, 1917

ONE Sabbath day I was staying in an Italian town on the other side of the Alps. Of course, the whole population was Romish. Two or three of us, therefore, being Protestants, held a little service for the worship of God in the simple manner that is our wont. Af…

Under Constraint

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1878

THE apostle and his brethren were unselfish in all that they did. He could say of himself and of his brethren that when they varied their modes of action they always had the same objective in view. They lived only to promote the cause of Christ and to bless th…

Mary’s Song

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 25, 1864

MARY was on a visit when she expressed her joy in the language of this noble song. It were well if all our social communion were as useful to our hearts as this visit was to Mary. “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Mary,…

“Herein Is Love”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 18, 1883

THE law commands love, indeed, all its precepts are summed up in that one word, “love.” More widely read it runs thus, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your n…

All at It

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1888

“THEY that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word.” God intended that His church should be scattered over the world. There was a tendency in our humanity at first to remain together; hence the first grey fathers endeavored to build a central…

That Horrible East Wind!

Charles Spurgeon

I DO not know how it is, but during the last two or three days I have been called to sympathize with an amount of sorrow such as I have seldom met with before in so short a space of time. One messenger of misery has followed on the heels of another, each one w…
