I GOT so far this morning [Sermon #2092, God’s Own Gospel Call] as to plead with men to come to God to hear what He had to say, to give diligent and earnest heed to His teaching about their souls and about salvation. And while I pleaded, I can truly say, with…

THERE are a great many things we should like to know about heaven. Our curiosity has been excited full often to ask a vast number of questions, but after being excited, it has never been gratified, for God’s Word has told us little about the details of that ha…

THERE is no reason upon earth, beyond that of ecclesiastical custom, why the 25 th of December should be regarded as the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ anymore than any other day from the first of January to the last day of the year. And yet some…

THE vine is of all trees the most useless unless it bears fruit. You cannot make hardly anything of it, you would scarcely be able to cut enough wood out of a vine to hang a pot upon, you cannot turn it into furniture, and barely could you use it in the least…

HOW highly favored was the apostle John! While his Master was on earth he was the favored disciple, permitted to lean his head upon His bosom as a token of the most familiar and loving communion. After our Lord had ascended, He had the same heart towards John,…

IN some of the books printed in the olden times, the authors were known to put a hand in the margin, as if to point out some passage to which they would have particular attention directed. Now, wherever we see in Holy Scripture the word “behold,” it answers th…

IN the wilderness God showed His glorious presence in the midst of the camp of Israel. To show His secret indwelling in His church—in the innermost chamber of the sacred tent there perpetually beamed the bright and ineffable light of the Shekinah. And to manif…

[This sermon is the 3,000 th that has been published in regular weekly succession since #1, The Immutability of God, was issued in January, 1855. The Lord’s-day morning sermons, with many of those preached in the evening, were published during Mr. Spurgeon’s l…

FOR a very considerable number of years, an esteemed and venerable vicar of a Surrey parish has sent me at the New Year a generous testimony of his love, and an acknowledgment of the pleasure which he derives from the weekly reading of my sermons. Enclosed in…

[The earlier part of this sermon was revised by Mr. Spurgeon in readiness for publication.] THE text mentions “now,” and then passes on to the future, and speaks of “yet.” It does, however, speak of, “now,” and after all, despite our trials, there is much to m…

JOB, as we noticed in our reading, was at that time in very deep distress. I commend this fact to the notice of any here who are very sorely tried. You may be the people of God and yet be in a terrible plight, for Job was a true servant of the Most High, yet h…

THE Christian’s life is no child’s play. All who have gone on pilgrimage to the celestial city have found a rough road, sloughs of despond and hills of difficulty, giants to fight and tempters to shun.

PAUL, and Silas, and Timothy were very desirous to visit the church at Thessalonica, but they were unable to do so for the singular reason announced in the text, namely, “Satan hindered us.” It was not from want of will , for they had a very great attachment t…

THOSE who associate themselves with a leader must share his fortunes. Six hundred men had left their abodes in Judea; unable to endure the tyranny of Saul they had linked themselves with David, and made him to be a captain over them. They were, some of them, t…

THERE is a very sharp line of division here between the Egyptians and the Lord’s own people, and that line of division always has existed and always will, for all attempts to blend the seed of the serpent with the seed of the woman must fail. Between the churc…

DO not throw yourselves back in your seats, and say, “This will be a sermon for saints, and therefore we may be excused from listening to it.” Do you not see that the first clause gives you a fair word and a kindly hint? “All Your works shall praise You, O Jeh…

ISAIAH, in the chapter before us, describes a very mournful condition of the people of God. He feels the case to be so desperate that he sighs for a divine interposition, “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down.” He perceives that…

WHEN preaching last Tuesday in Dover, the mayor of the town very courteously lent the ancient town hall for the service, and in passing along to reach a private entrance, I noticed a large number of grated windows upon a lower level than the great hall. These…

POOR Samson! We cannot say much about him as an example to believers. We must hold him up in two lights—as a beacon, and as a prodigy. He is a beacon to us all, for he shows us that no strength of body can suffice to deliver from weakness of mind. Here was a m…

I READ in your hearing the very horrible incident connected with the siege of Samaria. I do not wonder that when the poor woman applied to the king he should have been horrified. He felt that her case, and the case of all about him was a desperate one, and he…

THE order of salvation is, first we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we obtain a change of heart as His gift, and then that renewed heart loves the Lord Jesus, in whom it has believed. Faith leads the train of graces, not love. It would not be preaching t…

TO the godly heart there is a brighter light on Calvary than anywhere else beneath the sun. He who often resorts to Golgotha, if his spirit be right, must be wise. It is the University of Saints. He who would know sin—its heinousness, its penalty—must see the…

THE same words are found in each place, though a different inference is drawn from them. “Ye are bought with a price.” This morning’s text was “Without money and without price,” and to the best of my ability I tried to show how freely the blessings of the Gosp…
