AS I told you in the reading, Isaiah had a very heavy commission from God. He was to go and speak to people who would not hear him and to be to them a messenger rather of death than of life. Though the message itself would be full of life, yet they would refus…

THIS is one of the five faithful sayings which the apostle mentions. All those faithful sayings are weighty and important. I suppose that they may have come into the possession of the church by having been uttered by some of those prophets who were raised up t…

THIS story of the tempest upon the lake is wonderfully full of spiritual interest. Not only does it, literally, show to us the divine power of our blessed Master in lulling the tempest, rendered the more conspicuous by being placed side by side with the human…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon on the first sentence of the text is #3006, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Sermons on the Parable of the Good Shepherd are as follows:

OUR Lord intended, of course, to assert that He was greater than the temple, but He used the most modest form of putting it. When in the interests of truth He is obliged to speak of Himself, His meekness and lowliness are always apparent in the mode in which H…

THIS very memorable chapter may be called God’s own gospel sermon. In reading it we forgetIsaiah and only remember Jehovah. He speaks not here by the prophet but in the first person. God Himself says, “Incline your ear and come unto Me.” Now, we value every si…

JEREMIAH was a man of exceedingly sensitive temperament, the very reverse of Elijah. Yet he was sent of God to execute a duty which apparently required a person of great sternness and slender sensibility. It was his unhappy duty to denounce the judgments of Go…

PLEASE read the sixty-fifth psalm through. May it do you good, whether as landsmen you read of the Lord’s settling the furrows, or as sailors you hear of His stilling the noise of the seas. Notice the first two verses—“Praise waiteth for thee,” “O thou that he…

SOME time ago I tried to set forth the manner of the witness and sealing of the Spirit, and I have no doubt that the subject will still remain upon the memory of many of you. But I am led to refer to it again and to go over the same ground because I meet with…

THE good Samaritan is a masterly picture of true benevolence. The Samaritan had no kinship with the Jew, he was purely of foreign origin, yet he pities his poor neighbor. The Jews cursed the Cuthites, and would have no dealings with them, for they were intrude…

THE root of Israel’s nation was originally a lone man, whose family and dependants formed a small Bedouin tribe, wandering throughout the plains of Canaan. God separated and selected Abraham, who was in no way distinct from others in his parentage, and declare…

MY time for discourse upon this subject will be limited, as we shall gather around the communion table immediately afterwards. So in the former part of my sermon I shall give you only an outline of what might be said upon the text if we had time to examine it…

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon, Christ in Gethsemane, are #493, Gethsemane, #693, The Garden of the Soul, #1199, The Agony in Gethsemane, and #494, The Betrayal.] OUR Lord had been sitting at the table of happy fellowship with His disciples, talking to th…

THE same event may happen alike to all, yet it may have a very different meaning to different individuals. Ungodly men are brought low by affliction or poverty, for sinners have no immunity from suffering. Saints also are led into trying circumstances, for the…

HERE then, in parable, a temptation was set before the olive tree, it was urged to become ambitious, and aspire to reign over the rest of the trees. We gather from Jotham’s parable, at the outset, that we also are all liable to temptation. Though you may think…

IF you read this Psalm, you will find that David was in a very grievous plight. He was surrounded by the most cruel and the most false of men. They were ravening like wolves over carrion, and endeavoring to destroy his character, and even to take away his life…

WE are not able, as yet, to bear the full revelation of divine things. If any intellect had been strong enough, if any heart had been pure enough to see the exceeding glory of the covenant angel, surely Daniel possessed such a head and heart; but even he fell…

THE daughters of Jerusalem had been praising the church as the fairest among women. They spoke of her with admiring appreciation, extolling her from head to foot. She wisely perceived that it was not easy to bear praise. And therefore she turned aside from the…

THE officers were after our Lord and He knew it. He could spy them out in the crowd, but He was not therefore in the least afraid, or disconcerted. He reminds me of that minister who, when he was about to preach, was stopped by a soldier, who held a pistol to…

THIS slothful man did no hurt to his fellow men—he was not a thief, nor a ruffian, nor a meddler in anybody else’s business. He did not trouble himself about other men’s concerns, for he did not even attend to his own—it required too much exertion. He was not…

THERE is, in the heart of every one of us, the primary evil of sin. We have all transgressed against the Lord. So far, so bad, but that natural sin of ours may be greatly increased by a refusal to turn from it.
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 13, 1902
THERE is no Gospel apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the essence of it, He is everything in it, there would be no Gospel without Him. In this chapter the Holy Spirit had been speaking, very largely, through the prophet, of Gospel bounties and privileges.…

WE have all thought a great deal of the courage of David in meeting giant Goliath, but probably we have not given him credit for his conduct in a previous contest. We have not sufficiently noticed that immediately before the encounter with the Philistine, he f…

OUR great object in preaching today will be the conversion of sinners. There is a great deal else to be done, saints need building up, comforting, and quickening, but while myriads of men remain careless until they are swept away into perdition, it becomes us…
