Baptism Essential to Obedience

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 17, 1893

IF our congregations were what they ought to be, it would be a very simple matter to preach, for a sermon would then only need to be like the orders given by a commanding officer to his troops—short, sharp, plain, clear, distinct. Our hearers would not need il…

Moses’ Dying Charge to Israel

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 28, 1894

THESE are the words of Moses, the man of God, when he was near his departure. They make up a part of what has been called his “swan song.” He did not often sing, he did give us at least one song, but when he came near the time he was to die, like the fabled sw…

Pleading, Not Contradicting

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 9, 1890

DID YOU notice, in the reading of this narrative of the Syro-Phoenician woman, the two facts mentioned in the 21 st and 22 nd verses? “Then Jesus went from there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came from that reg…

“Here Am I”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 5, 1908

SAMUEL was a model child. He was the son of a prayerful mother. Hannah is one of the most notable pietists mentioned in the Scriptures. She possessed a truly original mind, but she was yet more famous for her piety—a woman who knew how to take her griefs to th…

Self-Humbling and Self-Searching

Charles Spurgeon

WHENCE do I draw my text but from the very fountain of love? And to whom shall I address my discourse but to the friends of the Bridegroom? You must have warm hearts, quick sensibilities, and lively emotions, to interpret the sayings, and sympathize with the t…

Cleansing: a Covenant Blessing

Charles Spurgeon

THIS is one of the opening words of the glorious covenant of grace. Ezekiel’s copy of the covenant is full and clear, and deserves to be written in letters of gold and hung up in the best chamber of every believer’s dwelling. This is the Magna Charta of saints…

Man’s Scorn and God’s Succor

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1913

WE know that Job’s sorrows were recorded, not for his honor, but for our profit. We are told to consider the patience of Job, and truly we might often be sustained, cheered, and comforted if we would but look upon that patriarch in the depths of his grief. We…

“Prisoners of Hope”

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 12, 1903

THIS passage unquestionably has to do with our Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation. We are not at all in doubt about this matter, for the connection is exceedingly clear. If you begin to read at the ninth verse, you will see that we have, from that place on to…

“Feed My Lambs:” a Sabbath School Sermon

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 15, 1882

READ the whole chapter, and observe the change of scene. First, they are on the lake fishing, casting their nets at Christ’s command, and dragging to land a multitude of great fishes. They have all come on shore, and when they have breakfasted, their faces are…

Christ’s Past and Present Witnesses

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 13, 1901

OUR Lord Jesus Christ ought to be believed upon His own unsupported word, first, because of the divinity of His nature. God cannot lie and that Christ is God is abundantly proved by His miracles. He did that which none but God could do. He ought also to be bel…

“Make This Valley Full of Ditches”

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1867

MANY useful lessons might be gathered from this narrative if we had but time. Upon the very surface we are led to observe the weakness of man when at his utmost strength. Three kings, with three armies well-skilled in war, were gathered to subdue Moab, and lo,…

The Call of “to-Day”

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 2, 1909

THE Holy Spirit says, “To-day.” There is a great talk about yesterday. There are some who will have it that there are none like the days that are past, “the good old times.” There are some who glory in what they did years ago. Their work was done yesterday. Th…

Self-Humbling

Charles Spurgeon • May 5, 1867

JOSIAH was very earnestly engaged in a devout work for God—he was cleansing, beautifying, and repairing the Temple at Jerusalem. While this was being done, a copy of the book of the laws being found, it was carried to the king, and the king at once diligently…

A High Day in Heaven

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 10, 1902

EARTH has engrossed our thoughts too long, it is time that we should lift our eyes, and look upward to heaven. Do you say that you cannot see so far as that? Look again, and ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, for the Lord Jesus has set the gate wide open t…

Strong Consolation for the Lord’s Refugees

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 29, 1877

WHEN we read such a choice verse as this we are apt at once to conclude that it “belongeth to them that are of full age, even to those who by reason of use, have had their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” We set this aside as a choice morsel re…

Faith Hand in Hand with Fear

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 8, 1911

IT must be a very difficult thing to be the first traveler through as unknown country, but it is a much more simple matter to travel where others have preceded us. However difficult may be the road, we discover our path by certain marks which they have left fo…

God’s Valiant Right Hand

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 3, 1913

THIS verse might full often have leapt from the lips of believers in the olden times. This verse might have constituted part of the Song of Moses at the Red Sea, for how wondrously did God there overthrow the host of His enemies, when, after dividing the sea,…

What Is Essential in Coming to God?

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 18, 1901

THE apostle had put Enoch down among the heroes of faith, and to prove that Enoch was a man of faith, he says, “Before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” “Then,” argues Paul, “if he pleased God, he must have been a believing man, for…

Mysterious Meat

Charles Spurgeon • May 23, 1886

THE disciples had gone away into the city to buy meat, and for this they cannot be censured. It was necessary that food should be provided, and it naturally fell to their lot to perform that duty. Do not say that they were carnal or unspiritual because of this…

The Tenderness of God’s Comfort

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 17, 1910

WE do not intend entering into a discussion of the context and its relationship literally to the Jewish people. We have never hesitated to assert our conviction that there are great blessings in store for God’s ancient Israel, and that the day shall come when…

Intercession and Supplication

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 22, 1901

THIS is an instance of amazing yet holy boldness. The prophet had received from the Lord the explicit command, “Pray not for this people: for their good,” and yet, after expostulation with God, his heart grew so warm with sacred fervor, and his spirit became f…

A Golden Sentence

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 11, 1909

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon, upon the same text, is sermon #302, Jesus About His Father’s Business and another, upon verses 31 to 38, is #1902, mysterious meat] THIS text contains in it much consolation for those who are desirous of salvation, more of exam…

The Old, Old Story

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1862

THERE is a doctor of divinity here tonight who listened to me some years ago. He has been back to his own dwelling place in America, and he has come here again. I could not help fancying, as I saw his face just now, that he would think I was doting on the old…

The Keeper of the Vineyard

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 16, 1894

MY discourse this evening can hardly be called a sermon. It will be just a simple talk about a few experiential truths, but I trust that it will be useful to some of the Lord’s people.
