THERE is something here which troubles many seeking souls, they hear the Gospel preached in this manner, “Look and live,” or “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” This comforts them, and they say to themselves, “This is a way in which we…

SOME of you may remember that six years ago I preached from this text, principally dwelling upon the type of the red heifer [“The Red Heifer,” No. 1481, Vol. 25]. We then tried to show how in these ashes of the heifer, laid by in store and applied to the uncle…

WERE you ever in a new trouble, one which was so strange that you felt that a similar trial had never happened to you, and moreover, you dreamt that such a temptation had never assailed anybody else? I should not wonder if that was the thought of your troubled…

HOW very uncertain are all terrestrial things! How foolish would that believer be who should lay up his treasure anywhere except in heaven! Job’s prosperity promised as much stability as anything can do beneath the moon.

“WHEN he was dying.” Death is a thorough test of faith. Beneath the touch of the skeleton finger shams dissolve into thin air and only truth remains unless, indeed, a strong delusion has been given, and then the spectacle of a presumptuous sinner passing away…

THE subject which I have chosen for this morning, and which may God the Holy Spirit bless to us, is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the way of salvation. Nothing can be of more importance than this subject, and therefore nothing will more thoroughly interest…

IT is very easy to understand how Jesus Christ is our friend. Did ever anyone deserve the name so well? Who can prove his friendship as Jesus proved it by laying down His life for those He calls His friends? But it is a mark of wonderful condescension on His p…

EVERY word of the text is peculiarly full of meaning. There are passages of Scripture which are like the rooms of a royal palace, which may not have in them gold and silver, though there are precious things, but this text is the strong-room of the King’s house…

THIS is the prayer of a man who understood the art of praise. He begins this psalm with a Hallelujah. “Praise ye the LORD. O, give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good.” Now, mark, there is no prayer that is purer, more spiritual, more heavenly, than the praye…

GOD is very considerate towards the messengers by whom He delivers His word to men. They are bound to deliver His word faithfully, whatever the tidings may be. Sometimes the burden of the Lord is very heavy. The prophets have to denounce woe upon woe, with ter…

THUS the prophet describes the conduct of a person in deep anguish of heart. When he does not know what to do, his soul, as if by instinct, humbles itself. He gets into some secret place, he utters no speech, he gives himself over to moaning and to tears, and…

IN the previous part of this chapter we hear the Jews, with malicious voices, assailing our blessed Lord with this bitter question, “Say we not well that You are a Samaritan, and have a devil?” How very quietly the Savior answered them! He did answer them beca…

THIS text is three times employed by the Apostle Paul as an argument. Read Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38. In each of these cases it runs, “The just shall live by faith.” This is the old original text to which the apostle referred when he said,…

THIS was Samuel’s third interview with this goodly young man. He had spoken with him and entertained him in his parlor, giving him the place of honor, he had afterwards spent the evening with him in quiet on the housetop, and now that they were about to part h…

WE noticed, as we read the chapter, the extreme folly of a man attempting to make a god for himself, or to worship anything as God save only the one living and true God. We consider the heathen to be very foolish for worshipping their hideous idols. Yet, you k…

WE may regard this verse as a kind of covenant made between the everlasting God, the infinite Jehovah on the one part, and our great Representative, Mediator and Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, on the other part. The incarnate God is to be bruised and wounded…

BY the terms “water” and “blood” we understand the purifying and the pardoning effects of Christ’s work for His people. He came to purify them from the power of sin, that they might no longer live in it.

IT was right that when a temple was to be built for the Lord God of Israel, the Israelites should take their fair share in the building of it. Therefore a levy was made, and a certain number of men were chosen to work in Lebanon. It was, however, most fitting…

TRUE Christian zeal will seek to do the highest work of which sanctified humanity is capable.
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 19, 1905
DO we, if we are called the saints of the Lord, need to be exhorted to love Him? If we do, shame upon us! And we do, I am quite sure, so let us be ashamed and confounded that it should ever be needful to urge us to love our Lord. Why, after He has done so much…

IF you will read, at home, the chapter from which our text is taken, you will find that Paul was stirring up the Corinthians to an act of liberality. He had boasted of what they would do, but he had just a little fear that they might fall behind and not quite…

WE have selected this verse as our theme, but our true text you will find in the twenty-second chapter of Genesis, the narrative which we read to you this morning at full length, and upon which we spoke in detail in our discourse. I thought it meet to keep to…

I DO not intend to expound the whole text at any length, but simply to dwell upon the lowliness of Jesus . Yet this much I may say, whenever God would have His people especially glad, it is always in Himself. If it is written, “Rejoice greatly,” then the reaso…
