DAVID, compelled to flee from his own country, and to hide himself from the malice of Saul, was eminently a type of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, in the days when He dwelt here among men, was despised and rejected of men. And at this moment it is well known to t…

EXPERIENTIAL preaching, when truthful, is almost always profitable. As the spouse of old desired to see the footsteps of the flock, so souls in distress are always happy to observe the proofs that others have trodden that same pathway before.

THE PASTOR’S RETURN. THREE SPECIALLY SELECTED SERMONS TO HIS CHURCH, CONGREGATION, READERS, AND FRIENDS, CONSISTING OF A RETROSPECT, A PROSPECT, AND AN EXHORTATION.

ACCORDING to our version “we are saved by hope,” but that is scarcely in accordance with other parts of Holy Scripture. Everywhere in the Word of God we are told that we are saved by faith. See the first verse of the fifth chapter—“Therefore being justified by…

OUR subject this morning was the sprinkling of the blood of the paschal lamb upon the lintel and the two door posts of the houses of the children of Israel and Egypt. As soon as that was done, and the lamb had been eaten, they had to start upon their journey t…

THE people of Israel in all their generations were full of evil. Those who came out of Egypt were a rebellious people, and for forty years they multiplied their provocations of the Lord in the wilderness, till at last they all found a grave in the desert. The…

I REMEMBER seeing, somewhere or other, as a sign upon an inn, the words, “The First and Last.” I do not know what that may happen to be among men, but I know that love is God’s first and last. It is there that He begins with us in mercy—“We love Him, because H…

THE experience of believers has much in common. The language in which they are wont to express it bears a close resemblance. You may often take the language out of one good man’s mouth and put it into the mouth of another without committing any violence. The w…

YOU will remember it was announced last Sunday that a collection would be made today in behalf of our institution for training young men for the ministry. It has been thought desirable that I should state a few particulars relative to the institution. Some of…

HOW significant is that word “but” in our text! It is as if you heard justice clamoring, “Let the sinner die,” and the fiends in hell howling, “Cast him down into the fires,” and conscience shrieking, “Let him perish,” and nature itself groaning beneath his we…

TWO enemies held Israel in subjection. The Philistines had fought against them, and defeated them, even though they sent to Shiloh, and brought the Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of Jehovah’spresence, into their camp. The Lord was not with them, so they were…

THIS is the case of a man who knew well enough what he wanted, and who was full of anxiety to obtain it, indeed he was so anxious to obtain it that he prayed most earnestly, and most importunately, for it. He prayed to the right Person too, for after having fa…

THE great day of judgment is not as yet. God in infinite long-suffering waits to be gracious, giving men space wherein to repent, and to be reconciled to Him. Jesus has come into the world for judgment, but not for that last and eternally unchangeable judgment…

(Marginal reading) THE means used for the restoration of Hezekiah’s body to health was a lump of figs laid as a plaster upon the boil, but the means used for the renewal of his soul from the disease of despondency was something equally effectual and far sweete…

IT seems that, around Jerusalem of old, in the time of her splendor, there was a broad wall, which was her defense and her glory. Jerusalem is a type of the church of God. It is always well when we can see clearly, distinctly, and plainly, that around the chur…

THOSE of you who were present last Lord’s-Day morning will remember my sermon upon “Mongrel Religion,” [Sermon #1622] in which I dealt with those who feared the Lord and served other gods.

NOTE, beloved, the special character of believers—their divine relationship, their heavenly privilege—they are called, “the children of God.” There is a foolish dream about the divine fatherhood toward all men, but it is a figment, a fiction, a delusion, a dec…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 17, 1876
WHEN the soul is perfectly reconciled to God and comes to delight in Him, it rejoices in all Hisattributes. At the first, perhaps, it dwells almost exclusively upon His love and His mercy, but itafterwards proceeds to find joy in the sterner attributes, and es…

YOU know the narrative. Jesus was at a wedding feast and when the wine ran short, He provided for it right bountifully. I do not think that I should do any good if I were to enter upon the discussion as to what sort of wine our Lord Jesus made on this occasion…

A CONGREGATION is a strange aggregate; it is like the gatherings of a net, or the collections of a dredge. If it is a very large one, it is especially remarkable. What strange varieties of creatures meet in the Noah’s ark of a crowded house of prayer! If anybo…

THIS sentence was expressly addressed, in the first place, to “servants,” which term includes and first of all intends those who unhappily were slaves. There were many slaves in the Roman Empire and the form of bondage which then existed was of the bitterest k…

DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1882, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.

These prophets would have made poor royal chaplains if those who dwell in kings’ houses have to use smooth speech. Malachi here charges the people with robbery and with the very worst form of it, namely, sacrilege. He speaks for the Lord and says, “Will a man…

THIS God sometimes does in providence. History records several very remarkable instances of persons who have sprung from the lowest ranks of society, or from the depths of poverty, yet who have mounted to a throne. When a certain king, in the olden days, was l…
