Charles Spurgeon • Sep 20, 1857
I AM not quite certain that my text will warrant all I shall say upon it this day if read and understood in its connection. But I have taken the words rather by accommodation than otherwise and shall make use of them as a kind of heading to the discourse which…
Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1856
MY incessant anxiety for you, dearly beloved in the faith of Jesus Christ, is that I may be able, in the first place, to teach you what God’s truth is. And then, trusting that I have to the best of my ability taught you what I believe to be God’s most holy Gos…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 10, 1864
WE ought not to overlook the first and immediate meaning of these words. There can be no doubt that we have here a promise made to God’s ancient people, the Jews. Whatever their sins may have been, God has not forever cast them away. They have become like the…

THE old Assembly’s Catechism asks, “What is the chief end of man?” And its answer is, “To glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” The answer is exceedingly correct. But it might have been equally truthful if it had been shorter. The chief end of man is “to plea…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 9, 1855
IT is our firm conviction and increasing belief that the historical books of Scripture were intended to teach us by types and figures spiritual things. We believe that every portion of Scripture history is not only a faithful transcript of what did actually ha…

IN the preceding verse our Lord Jesus Christ gives us some little insight into the natural character of the apostles whom He selected to be the first ministers of the Word. They were evidently men of like passions with us, and needed to be rebuked even as we d…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 23, 1856
I SHALL have nothing new to tell you. It will be as old as the everlasting hills and so simple that a child may understand it. Love’s commendation, “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” God’s commendation…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 18, 1858
“WE are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet.” Whether we shall praise God or not, is not left to our opinion. Although the commandment says not, “Thou shalt praise the Lord,” yet praise is God’s most righteous due. And every man, as a pa…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 7, 1855
THE true believer is always pleased to hear of anything which concerns the salvation of his own soul. He rejoices to hear of the covenant plan drawn up for him from all eternity, of the great fulfillment on the cross at Calvary, of all the stipulations of the…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 27, 1857
WE are told by wise men that all languages are based upon figures, that the speech of men who are uncivilized is mainly composed of figures, and that indeed the language of the most civilized, when cleaved so as to bring it to its natural foundation, is based…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 1, 1863
AS we meet this evening to commune at the table of the Lord, it will then be necessary for me to seek the edification of God’s people. I therefore think it best to occupy our time this morning with an exhortation to those who are out of the way.
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 3, 1861
IN itself considered, it is no ill thing to be at ease—nay, it is a great blessing to be at ease in Zion in the healthy sense and meaning of that word. Is it not one of the invitations of Christ, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 20, 1859
I DO not propose this morning to explain again the mystery of the brazen serpent. As many of you well remember, not long ago I preached upon that subject, and endeavored to expound it in all its lengths and breadths. I have a somewhat similar object at the pre…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 10, 1858
THE power of the Gospel appears in marvelous grandeur when we see its hold upon hearts devoted to it when subjected to trouble, persecution, and sorrow. How mighty must that Gospel be which, when it gained an entrance into the heart of Paul, could never be dri…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 8, 1861
THE year 1861 will have a notoriety among its fellows as the year of calamities. Just at that season when man goes forth to reap the fruit of his labors, when the harvest of the earth is ripe, and the barns are beginning to burst with the new wheat, Death too,…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 1, 1863
NEXT Saturday all eyes will be fixed on a great Prince who shall ride through our streets with his Royal Bride. Today I invite your attention to another Prince, marching in another fashion through His metropolis. London shall see the glory of the one—Jerusalem…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 11, 1863
To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ with all our heart is one of the simplest things imaginable. To trust Christ, to depend upon His power and faithfulness, is such a childlike act that one sees no extraordinary difficulty in it. Yet, to bring the human mind t…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 3, 1860
LOVE JEHOVAH—so the text runs. God the Father demands your love, and He deserves the warmest affection of your hearts. He has chosen you from before the foundation of the world. He has given His Son that He might redeem you with His precious blood. He has take…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 28, 1864
THE apostle Paul had been led to make the confession that Christ Jesus was despised both by Jew and Gentile. He confessed that this was no cause of stumbling to him, for what others counted foolishness he believed to be wisdom, and rejoiced that the foolishnes…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 22, 1855
CHRIST’S prayer was for a special people. He declared that He did not offer a universal intercession. “I pray for them ,” said He. “I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine.” In reading this beautiful prayer through,…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 23, 1859
AND who are the ungodly? Are they open and willful sinners—men who take God’s name in vain, and curse, and blaspheme—men who break the laws of man, the laws of the State—men who are scarcely to be trusted with liberty? Certainly these are included, but these a…

OUR subject this evening will not stand in need of much preface. The psalm may teach us that there are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. The company of sinners was a grief to David’s soul, and because their converse…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 3, 1864
MY venerable friend, who has hitherto sent me a text for the New Year, still ministers to his parish the Word of life, and has not forgotten to furnish the passage for our meditation today. Having preached from one of a very similar character a short time ago,…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 25, 1860
THE apostle Paul was a very learned man, but not the least among his manifold acquisitions in science was this—he had learned to be content. Such learning is far better than much that is acquired in the schools. Their learning may look studiously back on the p…
