IN my preaching, I am constantly talking about providence, so I thought it would be well to devote a whole sermon to explaining what I believe are God’s great wonder-working processes which we call, “providence.” In looking for a suitable text, I found this on…

POSSIBLY a murmur will pass round the congregation, “This is a dreary subject and a mournful theme.” But O beloved, it is not so, for great as were the woes of our Redeemer, they are all over now and are to be looked back upon with sacred triumph. However seve…

THE verse opens with a confession of sin common to all the persons intended in the verse. The whole of the elect people of God seem to me to be here represented, they have all fallen, those of them who have lived to years of responsibility have all actually si…

YOU that have your Bibles open kindly follow me from the first verse of the chapter. It begins, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.” If you really desire that men should be saved, pray for them. It is an empt…

WHEN Paul wrote this ever-memorable text, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” he placed it in connection with himself. I would have you carefully notice the context. Twelfth verse—“…

ALL men are not godly. Alas! the ungodly are the great majority of the human race. And all men who are to some extent godly are not equally godly. The man who fears God and desires to truly know Him has some little measure of godliness. The man who has begun t…

THE apostle could not avoid mentioning Noah, for in him faith shone forth eminently. He has placed him in due order of time after Abel and Enoch, but he had also another reason for the arrangement.

THIS was a very important event. I do not say that it was important if you took the individual case alone, but if you took the multitudes of cases in which it was also true, it was overwhelmingly important in the aggregate, “A sower went forth to sow.” Yes, Ch…

WE might possibly have had some difficulty in explaining this verse, or we might have referred it to the Prophet Isaiah and his sons, had not inspiration been its own expositor. Turn to the New Testament and the text will be no mystery to you; its key hangs on…

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS always seeks to blame others and to whitewash itself. The group that stood nearest to Christ in preaching, was composed of two classes of persons—the publicans, or taxgatherers, and the open sinners. Now the Pharisee, when he came to speak o…

“HE must reign.” Here was another “must” which His disciples were very slow to learn. Very much of our Lord’s teaching to His apostles was concerning the necessity that He must suffer. That doctrine seemed so strange to them that at first they could scarcely c…

THE bride was most unhappy and ashamed because her personal beauty had been sorely marred by the heat of the sun. The fairest among women had become swarthy as a sunburned slave. Spiritually it is so full often with a chosen soul. The Lord’s grace has made her…

ONCE more the Lord has spoken. Once again the voice of providence has proclaimed, “All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of grass.” O sword of the Lord, when will you rest and be quiet? Wherefore these repeated warnings? Why does…

MINISTERS all over England have been specially requested to assist in exciting a spirit of prayer in connection with Sabbath schools today, and I feel that the training of the young is so important a part of church work that it would be almost sinful to declin…

WE have preached upon the whole of this passage several times before, therefore we do not intend to speak upon it in its full teaching, or enter upon its general run and connection. But we select for our meditation this one expression, which has greater depth…

THE apostles said this. I have sometimes thought that Paul’s speech at Lystra, when he forbade the multitude to worship him and told the people that he was a man of like passions with themselves, has need to be repeated in the ears of many modern Christians, f…

WHEREVER Jesus Christ is found, His presence is marvelously mighty. The disciples, when Christ was absent, were like sheep without a shepherd, they were foiled in argument and even defeated in attempted miracles. But as soon as our Savior made His appearance a…

THAT was quite true: there was no instance recorded in Scripture or in profane history at the time when this man spoke, of any person who was born blind having obtained his sight. I believe it was in the year 1728, that the celebrated Dr. Cheselden, of St. Tho…

“A RAINBOW!” “A rainbow around about the throne!” I have a notion concerning this rainbow, that it was a complete circle. In the tenth chapter the apostle tells us that he saw “another mighty angel with a rainbow upon his head,” which could hardly have been th…

I DARESAY I have preached from this text several times in your hearing [See sermons #141-142 (a double number sermon), Substitution; #310, Christ—Our Substitute; #1124, God Beseeching Sinners by His Ministers, and #1910, The Heart of the Gospel]. If my life be…

The last words are the text for this occasion.

THE whole passage runs on this wise—“Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and break the clods of his ground? When he has made plain the face thereof, does he not cast abroad the fitche…

[Two other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text are #1987, “Behold the Lamb of God,” and #2646, The Baptist’s Message.] BEFORE we plunge into our main subject, it is needful to notice what is implied in our text, which is that “the world” was lost throug…

I am not about to preach from this whole verse, for I have done that before—this single sentence will suffice me. I shall not attempt to enter into the fullness of the spiritual meaning of this very deep and fruitful passage. I am merely going to bring out one…
