IDOLATRY has been, in every age, the besetting sin of mankind. In some form or another, the unregenerate are all given to it and even in God’s people there remains, in their old nature, a tendency towards it.

YOU know the circumstances under which these words were spoken. God had cast off Saul because he had not been faithful, and He had appointed David to be his successor, anointing him by the hand of Samuel. Yet when Saul was slain in battle, Israel seemed determ…

THE Lord Jesus Christ was then alive, sitting at the table, and yet, pointing to the cup filled with red wine, He said, “This is My blood, which is shed for many.” This proves that He could not have intended that the wine was literally His blood. Surely it is…

THE subject of this morning [Sermon #1549, Good News for Thirsty Souls] was spiritual thirst and the promises made thereto. I tried to encourage those who are not at rest concerning the state of their souls—those who have strong and ardent desires to escape fr…

HEZEKIAH finds fault with his prayers, but he did pray. God’s children cannot at all times speak distinctly, but they all cry. There is no true child of God that is possessed of a dumb spirit. “Behold he prayeth” may be said of each of the divine family—and pl…

THE prophet here testified that the kingdom of Israel had learned the way of the surrounding heathen and had polluted itself with their vices, and that consequently the strength of the kingdom had decayed. He declares that he could discern signs of this decay—…

AS we read the Scriptures, we are continually startled by fresh discoveries of the magnificence of God. Our attention is fixed upon a passage, and presently sparklets of fire and glory dart forth. It strikes us, we are struck by it. Hence these bright coruscat…

IN this parable of the sower, there is great discrimination of character, not only between those who bring forth fruit and those who bring forth none, but also between those who bring forth fruit in different degrees—not only between the fruitful and the fruit…

YESTERDAY, when I had the painful task of speaking at the funeral of our dear friend, Mr. William Olney, I took the text which I am going to take again now. I am using it again because I did not then really preach from it at all, but simply reminded you of a f…

OUR text stands at the end of the Book even as this day stands at the end of the year—and it is full of Gospel even as we would make our closing Sabbath discourse. It would seem as if the Holy Spirit were loath to put down the pen while so many remained unbeli…

THE Lord God appointed a set time for the coming of His Son into the world. Nothing was left to chance. Infinite wisdom dictated the hour at which the Messiah should be born, and the moment at which He should be cut off. His advent and His work are the highest…

SOME translators render this passage, “I believed, though I have spoken as I have done,” for the psalmist had spoken words suggestive of unbelief. But although he had spoken unwisely and unbelievingly, yet, deep down in his heart, he did still believe in his G…

NO preface is needed, and the largeness of our subject forbids our wasting time in beating about the bush. I shall try to do two things this morning; first, I would commend the text; and, secondly, I would in some measure expound the text .

, 19-2 The first portion of this sermon was revised by Mr. Spurgeon, and the unusually long introductory paragraphs are set up from his own handwriting. Four other discourses in the same series will (D. V.) be published for reading on March 15 th and 29 th , a…

OUR Savior never sought popularity. His ministry was so attractive that thousands thronged to hear Him, glad to catch the accents of His instructive tongue, but He never for a moment sought to preach flesh-pleasing truths, neither did He keep back any doctrine…

THESE words were addressed to the mountains of Palestine. Albeit that they are now waste and barren, they are yet to be as fruitful and luxuriant as in the days of Israel’s grandeur. God will turn to them, and the vines shall then crown the summits, and there…

IT was a very dark day with the church of God and with the cause of Christ, for the Lord Jesus was dead, and so the sun of their souls had set. “All the disciples forsook Him, and fled.” “You shall bescattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone,”…

THIS is a prayer which has been used hundreds of times, and which is found quite in place on many different occasions. Moses was in the wilderness when he uttered it, he was about to lead the people into Canaan, the land that flowed with milk and honey, yet he…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same test is #2752, The Door] THE Word of God tells us that in the midst of the great mass of men there are to be found a special people—a people who were chosen of God out of the common race before the stars began to s…

ANOTHER verse in this Psalm so attracts me that, though it is not my text, I cannot pass it by without a moment’s notice. In the fifth verse, the psalmist says, “I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance,” and then follows the expression of the te…

MODERN Jewish writers refuse to see the Messiah in this passage, but their predecessors were not so blind. The Targum and the ancient Rabbins interpreted it of the Messiah, and indeed all attempts to explain it apart from Him are perceptible failures. Christia…

THE earth that yields seed to the sower and bread to the eater has received its constitution from God, and it is governed through His wise providence by fixed laws that are infinitely reliable. And yet, at the same time, with such diversified conditions and mi…

THE Lord’s people delight in the covenant itself. It is an unfailing source of consolation to them so often as the Holy Spirit leads them to its green pastures, and makes them to lie down beside its still waters. They can sweetly sing of it from youth even to…

). You will find the expression, “Thy faith hath made thee whole” once in Matthew and twice in Mark, but you find it twice in Luke, and together therewith the twice repeated words of our text, “Thy faith hath saved thee.” Are we wrong in supposing that the lon…
