Five Divine Declarations

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 24, 1902

IF YOU carefully read the chapter from which our text is taken, you must notice the high style which God here adopts. He speaks like a king—nay, more, He speaks like a God, as He is entitled to do, for He is God. David says, in the twenty-ninth psalm, “The voi…

Good Cheer for Christmas

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 20, 1868

WE have nearly arrived at the great merry-making season of the year. On Christmas Day we shall find all the world in England enjoying themselves with all the good cheer which they can afford.

Solace for Sad Hearts

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 24, 1912

IT is no small advantage to know beyond mistake of whom this is declared. Our gracious Master has appropriated this as His very own, and we can be under no possible delusion now when we see in this servant of the Lord, the Son of God Himself. When in the synag…

Faithful Stewardship

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 24, 1895

IT is well that our dear brethren should make a right account of us. Paul says, in the verse preceding our text, “Let a man so account of us,” for there are some who make a wrong reckoning as to the ministers of the Gospel. Some go to an extreme, for they glor…

A Sacred Solo

Charles Spurgeon

THIS passage has, to my mind, a peculiar charm. I do not know whether it breaks on your ears with like pathos and power. To me it seems charged with softness and sweetness, like some gentle strain of tender music. Let us read it again. “The Lord is my strength…

Conceit Rebuked

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 7, 1903

ELIHU thought that Job had spoken too boastfully, and that there was too much of self about him, and therefore, he reproved him by asking this question, “Should it be according to thy mind?” It is a question which, in the original, has a great wealth of meanin…

A Blow for Puseyism

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 8, 1865

OUR Lord had plainly told His hearers that He was the bread of life, and that except they ate His flesh and drank His blood there was no life in them. His hearers understood this in a sensual manner, and they very naturally put the question, “How can this man…

The Consecration of Priests

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 15, 1874

UNDER the law, only one family could serve God in the priest’s office, but under the Gospel all the saints are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood” (1Pe 2:9). In the Christian church no persons whatsoever are set apart to the priesthood above the rest of…

The Road to Honor

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 12, 1884

OUR chickens generally come home to roost. Our thoughts of other men become other men’s thoughts of us. According as we measure out to our fellows, so they do measure back into our bosoms, for good or for evil. So especially, in reference to the Lord Himself,…

His Own Funeral Sermon*

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 14, 1892

NO. 2243 A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1892 DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON

Pentecost

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 1, 1884

LOOKING into a silversmith’s window on Thursday last I observed a notice card, upon which was printed as follows—“This shop will be closed this evening, and will not be re-opened until Tuesday evening.” I looked at the name over the window, and observed that i…

The Dream of the Barley Cake

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 22, 1885

THE Midianites were devastating the land of Israel. These wandering tribes purposely kept away during the times of plowing and sowing, and allowed the helpless inhabitants to dream that they would be able to gather in a harvest, but no sooner did there come to…

The End of the Righteous Desired

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 21, 1867

CARLYLE, in his History of the French Revolution , tells us of a Duke of Orleans who did not believe in death, so that when his secretary stumbled on the words, “The late King of Spain,” he angrily demanded what he meant by it. The obsequious attendant replied…

Those Who Desire

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 17, 1901

NEHEMIAH was earnest in his prayer for the good of his sorrow-stricken nation, but he did not make the mistake of thinking that he was the only praying man in the world. He said, “Be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, wh…

Spiritual Convalescence

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 27, 1911

ACCORDING to our own natural conceit, we are very strong—it is as hard for us to part with our belief in our own strength as with our trust in our own righteousness. It is a very painful cut which severs us from confidence in ourselves. But when the Spirit of…

Spots in Our Feasts of Charity

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 23, 1868

WHEN the church of God is extending her bounds rapidly, it is of the utmost importance that the growth should be real and permanent. If the walls of Zion are being built quickly, the master builders should keep an anxious eye upon the workmanship, lest the sto…

Meat Indeed, and Drink Indeed

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 17, 1914

THE crowd had followed Jesus for the loaves and fishes. He gently upbraids them for being guided by so carnal an appetite, and impelled by so coarse a motive to follow Him. Then He tells them that there is a spiritual meat which is far better—a spiritual drink…

Titles of Honor

Charles Spurgeon • May 2, 1912

THE verse from which my text is taken begins thus, “But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord,” so I will commence my discourse by saying that we might often find comfort and relief from gloomy apprehensions by associat…

Under Arrest

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1895

THIS is a condensed history of the Jews before the Gospel was fully preached to them. Before the clear and plain revelation of the way of salvation—that is to say, before Jesus Christ Himself actually appeared among the sons of men—the Hebrew nation was put un…

Infallibility—Where to Find It and How to Use It

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 20, 1874

THOUGHTFUL minds anxiously desire some fixed point of belief; the old philosopher wanted a fulcrum for his lever, and believed that if he could only obtain it, he could move the world! It is uncomfortable to be always at sea—we would gladly discover terra firm…

Depths and Heights

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 13, 1899

I HAVE nothing to do tonight but to preach Jesus Christ. This was the old subject of the first Christian ministers—“Daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” When Philip went down to the city of Samaria, he “pr…

Paul Apprehended and Apprehending

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 2, 1893

OBSERVE the apostle’s condition when he wrote these words. I do not think that either you or I will be found to be in a better one. If any are, or think they are, I would suggest a question. I, for my part, would be satisfied to be just as Paul was.

Stephen and Saul

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 10, 1905

THE Holy Spirit does not tell us much about the deaths of saints at any time and He says very little about the deaths of the martyrs. He gives us much more about Stephen—the first of them—than about any other. A few words are made to suffice for the death of J…

“The Precious Blood of Christ”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 26, 1865

IT is frequently my fear I should fall into the habit of preaching about the Gospel than directly preaching the Gospel. And hence I labor to return to the first principle of our faith, and often take a text upon which it would not be possible to say anything n…
