Degrees of Power Attending the Gospel

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 3, 1865

PAUL here claimed two things which are absolutely necessary to success in the Christian ministry.

An Antidote to Satan’s Devices

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 30, 1900

OF course, we understand that this verse refers to “that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan.” The Samaritan Version reads, instead of the word “serpent,” “deceiver” or “liar.” If this is not the genuine reading, it nevertheless certainly declares a truth…

Safe, Though Sin-Surrounded

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 26, 1916

I HAVE no doubt that the first and most natural meaning of these words is this, that David passed through such mental distress, such accumulated grief, that unless his prayer should bring him consolation from heaven, he felt that he must despair, and so become…

Prompt Obedience

Charles Spurgeon • May 17, 1866

THERE is no doubt that we have David speaking to us in this psalm, but it is equally certain that we must not limit it to David. Paul quoted verses two and forty-nine as applying to David’s Lord, and we shall not be wrong in following his example with regard t…

The Blessings of Public Worship

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 13, 1895

THIS is called a parable, yet it is rather an incident, an anecdote, a statement of facts. You willobserve that our Lord never used a fable. Fables may be employed to set forth that which is earth-born, but a parable, which is in itself true, is alone adapted…

Grace Abounding

Charles Spurgeon • May 30, 1912

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the whole verse are #37, Law and Grace THERE has been a long battle in this world between man’s sin and God’s grace. If it had been a fight between man’s sin and God’s justice, it would soon have come to an end. Picture to y…

Love’s Medicines and Miracles

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 21, 1877

HEZEKIAH’S recovery is a notable encouragement to prayer. If ever there was a case in the world wherein it seemed impossible that prayer could be of any avail, it was that of Hezekiah. It was perceivable by everybody around him that he was sick unto death. Why…

Paul Cheered in Prison by His Lord

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 15, 1909

FROM the midnight whisper of the Lord to Paul we may draw forth sweet encouragement. Those of the Lord’s children who have been engaged in His work and are called to suffer in it, have here a special word of consolation.

The Dying Thief in a New Light

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 31, 1886

A GREAT many persons, whenever they hear of the conversion of the dying thief, remember that he was saved in the very article of death, and they dwell upon that fact, and that alone. He has always been quoted as a case of salvation at the eleventh hour, and so…

Jesus Calling

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 1, 1902

I HAVE often preached from this text [Sermon #265, The Meek and Lowly One, #969, Rest, Rest, #1322, Rest for the Laboring, #1691, Volume 28, Christ’s Word with You, #2298, The Christ-given Rest, and #2708, The Old Gospel for the New Century]. I hope, if I am s…

Faith Versus Sight

Charles Spurgeon

I THINK the apostle is explaining here how it was he could say, that whilst he was at home in the body, he was absent from the Lord, and through what means he felt that this was not the state in which he wished ever to be. Having been possessed, and actuated,…

The Ark of the Covenant

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1881

Jeremiah 3:16 speaks concerning the material ark. I should like to append to that another – Revelation 11:19 – which speaks of the ark spiritually and tells us where its antitype is to be found.

Migratory Birds

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 19, 1903

IN our text the prophet makes use of the flight of migratory birds to teach a valuable lesson. He mentions the swallow, which is the most prominent among the summer visitors to our own country, but he also names the stork, the crane, and the turtledove—all of…

The Lad’s Loaves in the Lord’s Hands

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 9, 1891

LOOK, there are the people! Five thousand of them, as hungry as hunters, and they all need to have food given to them, for they cannot any of them travel to buy it! And here is the provision! Five thin wafers—and those of barley more fit for horses than for me…

A Delusion Dispelled

Charles Spurgeon

WE are told in the opening verse of this chapter that certain of the elders of Israel came to the prophet and sat before him. You need not ask who these elders were, or from where they came, because it is evident enough they were not a deputation from the Jews…

God’s Witnesses

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 13, 1865

YOU, most of you, know that I am incessantly engaged every hour in the week either in preaching the Gospel or in endeavoring to discharge the multifarious duties connected with this immense church.

A Honeycomb

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 29, 1872

WHEN the Hebrew Christians were suffering dire persecution the apostle could suggest no better support for their faith than this, “Consider him.” He bade them look to Jesus, and compare their case with that of their Lord. Such contemplations would prove a sove…

The Lover of God’s Law Filled with Peace

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 22, 1888

THIS forms part of a devotional passage. It is not merely a statement that great peace comes to those who love the law of God, but it is uttered as part of a hymn of praise unto the Lord. We cannot praise God better than by stating facts concerning Him and His…

Jesus, the Stumbling Stone of Unbelievers

Charles Spurgeon

So it ever is where Jesus comes—He divides the company into believers and unbelievers—the obedient and the disobedient. But why are unbelievers here called disobedient? Is faith a matter of law, and because a man does not believe, does he therefore disobey? Ho…

An Indictment with Four Counts

Charles Spurgeon

FOUR heavy counts of a terrible indictment against Jerusalem and the Jewish people. Is it not sad to reflect that Jerusalem was the city of the great king and yet fell from its high estate? It was the place of the great temple—there the light of God shone fort…

Eating the Sacrifice

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 1, 1897

ON two following Sabbath mornings, I have spoken concerning the sacrifices under the law. Our first sermon was “Putting the Hand upon the Head of the Sacrifice,” and the next was, “Slaying the Sacrifice” [Sermons #1771 and #1772]. Now we are to make an advance…

Near the Kingdom, or in It?

Charles Spurgeon • May 24, 1906

IN certain respects, all men are alike—alike fallen, and alike needing the Savior. Hence we have not twenty gospels, but only one, and we have not the Gospel graduated to scale to suit different classes of society, or different conditions of morality. We have…

The Sword of the Spirit

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 19, 1891

TO be a Christian is to be a warrior. The good soldier of Jesus Christ must not expect to find ease in this world; it is a battlefield. Neither must he reckon upon the friendship of the world, for that would be enmity against God. His occupation is war. As he…

Jesus—the Shepherd

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 1, 1865

OUR Lord Jesus is very frequently described as the Shepherd of His people. The figure is inexhaustible, but it has been so often handled that I suppose it would be difficult to say anything fresh upon it. We all know, and are very glad and comforted in the kno…
