The Source

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 18, 1904

THIS was a sensible and very important question. May the Holy Spirit graciously enable us to answer it aright! Our Lord’s great objective, in His talk with this woman at the well, was not to convince her of His oratorical power, for He spoke to her as simply a…

Examination Before Communion

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 4, 1900

IT can never be too clearly understood that spiritual ordinances are for spiritual persons only.

The Three Hours of Darkness

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 18, 1886

FROM nine till noon the usual degree of light was present, so that there was time enough for our Lord’s adversaries to behold and insult His sufferings. There could be no mistake about the fact that He was really nailed to the cross, for He was crucified in br…

A Sight of Self

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 2, 1862

IT is easy to commit sin, but hard to confess it. Man will transgress without a tempter, but even when urged by the most earnest pleader, he will not acknowledge his guilt. If we could but bring men into such a state of heart that they felt themselves to be gu…

Certain Singular Subjects

Charles Spurgeon

THIS passage, though audibly uttered by the mouth of Joshua, is to be regarded as the immediate voice of God. Joshua said unto all the people, “Thus says Jehovah, God of Israel.” Jehovah reminded the tribes, their elders and judges, of all that He had done, an…

The Commissariat of the Universe

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 17, 1909

THIS sentence describes the commissariat of creation. The problem is the feeding of the “creeping things innumerable, both small and great beasts,” which swarm the sea, the armies of birds which fill the air and the vast hordes of animals which people the dry…

The Trees in God’s Courts

Charles Spurgeon

THESE verses occur at the close of a Psalm for the Sabbath over which there rests a Sabbatic glory of perfect calm, of hallowed peace. Amidst the business and bustle of daily life, the great trouble of the psalmist was the prosperity of the wicked, but it does…

Pleading for Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 21, 1886

THE apostle of the Gentiles held a very useful and glorious office, but he had by no means a smooth path in life. When we read the account of his sufferings, and persecutions, and labors, we wonder how a single individual could have gone through them all. He w…

Good News for the Lost

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 9, 1873

THE promises of God are like stars, there is not one of them but has in its turn guided tempest-tossed souls to their desired haven. But as among the stars which stud the midnight sky there are constellations which above all others attract the mariner’s gaze a…

Last Things

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 31, 1865

THE wise man saw the young and simple straying into the house of the strange woman. The house seemed so completely different from what he knew it to be, that he desired to shed a light upon it, that the young man might not sin in the dark, but might understand…

The Bitterness of the Cross

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 15, 1900

YOU know, dear friends, that this text primarily refers to the Jewish nation. They will not always be blinded, as they are at present. The veil will ultimately be taken away from their eyes and their heart, and when it is taken away, it will not be by the enli…

Deliverance From the Power of Darkness

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 7, 1913

DARKNESS is used in Scripture to express a great many things. Sometimes it represents sorrow. “A night of weeping” is a common expression among us. We speak, too, of “walking in darkness, and seeing no light.” We commonly say to one another that our minds are…

The Multitude Before the Throne

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 23, 1914

IT seems as though a dash of wonderment thrilled through his soul, and a flame of admiration burst from his tongue, when John exclaims, “After this I beheld, and, lo!” He had already seen much. His attention was fixed. His thoughts were strained. Of a sudden t…

The Christian’s Helmet

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 21, 1909

THE very mention of a helmet may well seem to REMIND EVERY CHRISTIAN HERE THAT HE IS A SOLDIER.

The Lord No More Wroth with His People

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 7, 1890

BEFORE any person could feel himself safe in applying such a word as this to himself, he would naturally read the chapter, and study the connection in which it stands to see whether it would be a wresting of Scripture for any private believer to understand it…

All These Things—a Sermon with Three Texts

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 18, 1868

THE patriarch must needs use the expression, “ALL THESE THINGS.” He had gone through the catalog, there were but three items at the most, and yet nothing narrower than, “All these things are against me” will suit him.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 23, 1861

BEFORE we explain the metaphor of the text, it may be well for us to remark that we are not sufficiently grateful, I fear, for the preservation which God affords to us from fire. To be startled at the dead of night with the alarming cry, and to find one’s self…

The Deceitfulness of Sin

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 16, 1890

SIN is the greatest evil in the universe. It is the parent of all other ills. All manner of evils draw their bitterness from this fountain of wormwood and gall. If a man had every possession a mortal could desire, sin could turn every blessing into a curse; an…

Unconditional Surrender

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 30, 1876

THIS advice should not need much pressing. “Submit yourselves to God”—is it not right upon the very face of it? Is it not wise? Does not conscience tell us that we ought to submit? Does not reason bear witness that it must be best to do so? “Submit yourselves…

Our Leader Through the Darkness

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 4, 1913

I DESIRE to speak to you, dear friends, not only of Jesus as our Leader, but of following Him in the dark. Can you see Jesus in the dark? Yes. We sometimes see Him better in the dark then in the light. If you will go outside in the daytime and look up, you wil…

Fathers in Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 18, 1883

OBSERVE the difference in the two verses, John first says, “I write,” and then, “I have written.” When in two former discourses I preached upon the beloved apostle’s address to the young men and the children [Sermon #1711— A Sermon to the Lord’s Little Childre…

Divine Interpositions

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 8, 1878

I DO not know how you feel, my brethren, at this time, but as for myself, a heavy cloud seems to hang over me all the day. The overwhelming calamity of last Tuesday, so crushing and so far reaching, of which we must have spoken to each other, I suppose, every…

Facts and Inferences

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 12, 1911

WE must never judge by appearances, for many things that we see with our eyes and hear with our ears are not really what they appear to us to be. Our senses, like everything else within us, are imperfect, so that it is safer to walk by faith than by sight. Esp…

A Pastoral Visit

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 30, 1908

SOME interpreters have supposed that a small congregation met for worship in a room in Philemon’s house, and there is a tradition that such was the case for some considerable time. The churches established by Paul were, at their commencement, for the most part…
