The Chief Physician and the Centurion’s Servant

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 30, 1878

THE centurion of Capernaum is an example to us in a matter which bears upon the collection appointed for today, which you know, is for hospitals. This good soldier cared about the sick and was anxious for the recovery of his palsied servant. Every employer sho…

“A Kind of Firstfruits”

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 9, 1911

MARTIN LUTHER, the great defender of the faith, who passionately loved the doctrine of justification by faith, once grew so thoroughly out of temper with the opponents who quoted the apostle James against him, that he almost threatened to rend his epistle out…

Jesus, the Delight of Heaven

Charles Spurgeon

IF YOU want to know a man’s character, it is well to inquire at his home. What do his children and servants think of him? What is the estimate formed by those who are always with him? George Whitefield was once asked his opinion of a person, and his answer was…

Longing to Find God

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 4, 1892

“OH that I knew where I might find him !” Observe that Job is so taken up with his one great desire, that he forgets that everybody else is not thinking in the same way, and he uses a pronoun, though he has not before uttered the name of God. The man is carrie…

The Truly Blessed Man

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 5, 1911

IT is an old saying and possibly a true one, that every man is seeking after happiness. If it be so, then every man should read this Psalm, for this directs us where happiness is to be found in its highest degree and purest form. “Blessed,” says David, “is suc…

The Final Separation

Charles Spurgeon

JESUS Christ, the man of Nazareth, who is also the Son of God, was crucified, dead, and buried, and the third day, He rose again from the dead. After He had showed Himself to His disciples for forty days—sometimes to one alone, at other times, to two or three…

A Paradox

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 4, 1888

THE expression is paradoxical, and seems somewhat singular; yet it was the experience of the apostle Paul, a man of calm spirit, by no means fanciful; a wise man, and far removed from a fanatic. It was the experience of one, who was led of the Spirit of God, a…

Accepted of the Great Father

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 15, 1883

A FEW Sabbath mornings ago I spoke to you upon those memorable words of the great Father, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” [ The Voice from the Cloud and the Voice of the Beloved — Sermon #1727.] We now go a step farther, and see how the lov…

Thoughts and Their Fruit

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 6, 1911

DO you observe here, my brethren, how God declares that He would not only punish Israel for gross overt acts of sin, but that He would also bring upon the nation terrible chastisements for their thoughts?—a solemn warning, full of instruction to us.

“That King Ahaz”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 21, 1906

IT is absolutely certain, dear friends, that whatever our personal characters may be, we shall have to know, by practical experience, the meaning of the word “trouble.” Saint or sinner, “man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” The road to heaven i…

Power with God

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1876

MEN think a great deal of anyone who has power with royalty. If it were said, concerning somebody in this place, “That individual has very great power with the Queen,” there are a great many of you who would turn at once to look at that person. He who has grea…

Mourners, Inquirers, Covenanters

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 25, 1883

THE previous part of this chapter declares the overthrow of Israel’s cruel oppressor, “Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces.” The Assyrian and Babylonian power had been the great tyrant of the ages, and the Lord had employed it for…

Jesus Only

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 3, 1870

THE last words will suffice us for a text, “Jesus only.” When Peter saw our Lord with Moses and Elias, he exclaimed, “Master, it is good to be here,” as if he implied that it was better to be with Jesus, and Moses, and Elias, than to be with Jesus only.

Or the Art of Holy and Happy Living

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 30, 1870

IT is always an advantage to have the laws of a kingdom as concise as possible. No one will ever be able to tell how much of litigation and consequent calamity has been caused in this country by the confused condition of our laws. When Napoleon issued his cele…

The Climax of God’s Love

Charles Spurgeon • May 22, 1898

YOU who have been here on recent Thursday nights, will remember how Israel was described at the time to which our text refers. [See sermon #2564, Strange Ways of Love and #2569, The Backsliders Door of Hope].

Noah’s Flood

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 5, 1868

WE commonly say that “there is no rule without an exception,” and certainly the rule that there is no rule without an exception has an exception to itself, for the rules of God are without exception. The rule that God will punish the ungodly is without an exce…

Why Men Do Not Believe

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 17, 1915

THE Pharisees in our Lord’s day were very fond of high-sounding titles. They had their diplomas, like our modern doctors of divinity, and they took good care to pride themselves upon them. Some were called “Rab,” others “Rabbi,” others “Rabbini.” They had thei…

Gathering in the Chosen

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 27, 1912

THERE is a wonderful variety in the acts of God, and yet withal there is a most singular uniformity.

Delight in the Almighty

Charles Spurgeon • May 3, 1885

THE Lord said to Eliphaz and his friends, “You have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has,” and therefore we must always regard what they said with careful discrimination. They were wise men according to their light, but they were qui…

“My Lord and My God”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 13, 1884

WHEN the apostles met on the first Lord’s Day after Jesus had risen, Thomas was the only disciple absent out of the eleven, on the second Lord’s Day Thomas was there, and he was the only disciple doubting out of the eleven. How much the fact of his doubting wa…

Obtaining Promises

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 16, 1862

THE promises of God are to the believer an inexhaustible mine of wealth. Happy is it for him if he knows how to search out their secret veins and enrich himself with their hid treasures. They are to him an armory containing all manner of offensive and defensiv…

Christ—the Fall and Rise of Many

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 26, 1869

THIS text has within it a profound deep, but I shall not attempt to fathom it. There was a company projected a few months ago for attempting to recover ingots of gold and bars of silver, supposed to be lying at the bottom of the sea in a Spanish galleon which…

Christ’s Prayer for Peter

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 30, 1899

SATAN has a deadly hatred towards all good men and they may rest assured that somewhere or other, he will meet them on their way to the Celestial City. John Bunyan, in his immortal allegory, placed him in one particular spot and described him as Apollyon strad…

Daniel’s Undaunted Courage

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 14, 1868

DANIEL had been exalted to very great worldly prosperity, but his soul had prospered too.
