“Stewards”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 17, 1913

MY beloved brothers—I might even say with Paul, “My dearly beloved and longed for”—it gives me intense delight to look into your faces once again, and yet I feel weighted with a solemn responsibility in having to direct your thoughts at this time, so as to giv…

Glorying in the Lord

Charles Spurgeon

THERE is an irresistible tendency in us to glory in something or other. All classes of men glory, the highest and the lowest, the richest and the poorest, the best educated and the most illiterate. Solomon glories, and so does the fool; Goliath glories, and so…

Priest and Victim

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 23, 1900

I DO not know when I have ever felt a more decided conflict of emotions in my own heart than I do just now. Happy is the man who has such a message as that in my text to deliver to his fellow men, but burdened is the man who feels that the message is far too g…

The King in Pilate’s Hall

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 12, 1903

OUR Lord was being cross-questioned by an unscrupulous, vacillating, contemptuous Roman official. So, as our blessed Lord and Master did not escape the ordeal of malicious questioning, let no disciple of His imagine that he will escape. “The disciple is not ab…

The Best War Cry

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 4, 1883

IT was a singular spectacle to see the king of Moab and his lords climbing to the tops of the craggy rocks, accompanied by that strange being, the Eastern prophet Balaam. They are seeking to look upon Israel with the evil eye, and flash down curses upon her te…

“The Shadow of a Great Rock”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 14, 1907

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon, on previous portions of this verse, are as follows—#2856, Our Hiding Place and #1243, Rivers of Water in a Dry Place] EVEN in our usually temperate climate, we sometimes complain of the great heat, which is coolness itself compa…

Life’s Inevitable Burden

Charles Spurgeon • May 22, 1913

IN pondering Scripture truth, we must not strain metaphors, nor use figures of speech as though they were literal statements. You have an instance of the truth of this remark in this chapter. In one verse the apostle says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and s…

The Lord’s Chosen Ministers

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 30, 1893

THE habitual state of mind of Jesus was, I think, a deep calm. Beyond all ordinary men, He possessed His soul in peace. We find Him sleeping in the midst of a storm, the very best thing that He could do. He knew that, rocked in the cradle of the deep by His gr…

A VIVID Contrast

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 30, 1906

THESE verses furnish a striking illustration of the unwise way in which, in certain cases, the Bible has been divided into chapters. The meaning of many portions of Scripture would be much more manifest if Gospels, epistles and even prophecies were left in the…

Job’s Resignation

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 22, 1896

JOB was very much troubled, and he did not try to hide the outward signs of his sorrow. A man of God is not expected to be a stoic. The grace of God takes away the heart of stone out of his flesh, but it does not turn his heart into a stone. The Lord’s childre…

The Ministry of Gratitude

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 15, 1872

PETER’S wife’s mother had been sick of a great fever, and had been restored by the touch of the Savior’s hands, and by the power of the Savior’s word. The grace of God does not secure us from trial.

The One Foundation

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 14, 1879

UPBUILDING is very important, but the first question must always concern the foundation.

New Tokens of Ancient Love

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 21, 1904

IT is said that when the stars cannot be seen, during the day, from the ordinary level of the earth, if one should go down into a deep well, they would be visible at once, and certainly, it is a fact that many of the brightest of God’s promises are usually see…

“My Garden”—“His Garden”

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 26, 1896

WHAT a difference there is between what the believer was by nature and what the grace of God has made him! Naturally, we were like the waste howling wilderness, like the desert which yields no healthy plant or verdure. It seemed as if we were given over to be…

Filling the Empty Vessels

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 17, 1882

VERY beautiful, to my mind, is the sight of “Paul the aged” confined in his prison at Rome, likely by-and-by, to be put to death, but calm, quiet, peaceful and joyful. Just now he is so happy that a gleam of sunlight seems to light up his cell, and his face sh…

The Voice Behind You

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 23, 1882

ON the Sabbath before last we spoke concerning “the still small voice.” After the thunder and the fire and the earthquake had passed away, for the Lord was not in them, there came a still small voice unto Elijah, which reached the prophet’s heart, and brought…

Truthfulness

Charles Spurgeon

THE allusion is not to doctrinal truth of God, or truth in the abstract, but to practical truth as it should exist in the hearts and lives of men. It might be read, “Lord, are not Your eyes upon truthfulness?” Or, “upon faithfulness?” The Lord bade them produc…

“A Man Under Authority”

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 13, 1895

WITHOUT any introduction, as we have just been reading Matthew’s record of this notable miracle of our Lord, I shall come at once to the text, and, first of all, work out the incident, itself , and then,secondly, make use of its lessons for our own practical p…

Soul Murder—Who Is Guilty?

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 30, 1866

DAVID had been grossly guilty towards his faithful and veteran friend Uriah. He had given instructions that he should be led into the hottest part of the fight, and then suddenly deserted so that he might be smitten by the sword of the Syrians, and might appea…

The Soul’s Desertion

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 22, 1917

The happiest condition of a Christian out of heaven is to live in the conscious enjoyment of the presence of the Lord Jesus. When the love of Christ is shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Ghost, the believer need not envy an angel his harp of gold. It matters…

A Simple Remedy

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 1, 1872

EVER since the fall, healing has been the chief necessity of manhood. There was no physician in paradise, but outside that blissful enclosure professors of the healing art have been precious as the gold of Ophir. Even in Eden itself there grew the herbs which…

The Prodigal’s Reception

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 4, 1864

THERE he is! He is as wretched as misery itself, as filthy as his brute associates who could satisfy themselves with husks, while he could not. His clothes hang about him in rags, and what he is without, that he is within. He is disgraced in the eyes of the go…

The Hunger-Bite

Charles Spurgeon

BILDAD was declaring the history of the hypocritical, presumptuous, and wicked man and he intended, no doubt, to insinuate that Job was just such a person—that he had been a deceiver, and that therefore at last God’s providence had found him out and was visiti…

The Greatest Gift in Time or Eternity

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 12, 1897

WE are met together with two objects. First, there is the preacher’s object, that is, to set forth and to proclaim the blessings of the covenant of grace. It is my duty and it is my delight to stand here and cry, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the w…
