YOU have here, before you, the advice of King Solomon, rightly reckoned to be one of the wisest of men, and verily he must be wise indeed who could excel in wisdom the son of David, the King of Israel.
Charles Spurgeon
THIS exhortation may be most fitly directed to those who are already saved. It was first given to the elders of Israel, and we would gladly hope that they were already good men and true, but, secondly, the language might be very fitly addressed to the unconver…

THE main part of my subject will be—that gracious dismissal, “Go in peace.” To her who had been so lately blessed, the word “Go,” sounded mournfully, for she would gladly have remained through life with her pardoning Lord, but the added words “in peace,” turne…

THE text is a challenge to the heathen to enter into a debate with the living God. The Lord bids them argue at their best, and let the controversy be calmly carried out to its issues, so as to be decided once for all. He bids them be quiet, reflect, and consid…

MAN’S chief end is to glorify and enjoy God. God’s greatest and highest objective is to make to Himself a glorious and an everlasting name. Since God is God it must be so, for He is full of love and kindness to His creatures, and He cannot more fully bless His…

THERE appeared to be great cause for their heart to be troubled, and abundant reason for being afraid, for their Lord was about to be taken from them. What would a few timid disciples be able to do without their Master? He had always been their Teacher, and Fr…

IT seemed to me that, as this was the last of the Thursday evenings of the dying year and I should no more meet some of you, who only come here on Thursday evenings, no more during this year, it would be well for us to close the year as our Master closed His l…

NO GOLD but pure gold can stand the fire, and if a man’s religion has been a pretentious sham, it is very likely to tumble to pieces under the rough hand of death. There have been a few hypocrites who have been able to brazen it out, even in the last solemn ar…

THIS chapter is surrounded with critical difficulties, and yet it is full of spiritual instruction. The verse before us is by some referred to Gentiles, and supposed to mean that the Lord promises that He will take out of the heathen nations a people whom He w…

WE must tell you the story. Solomon was to be the king after David, but his elder brother, Adonijah, was preferred by Joab, the captain of the host, and by Abiathar, the priest, and therefore, they gottogether, and tried to steal a march upon dying David, and…

OUR real text will be the entire narrative, but as it seems necessary to select some one sentence, we have chosen that before us as the true hinge of the story.

THE story of this miracle is wonderfully attractive. It has always been a favorite theme with preachers. From the days of the apostles and the fathers of the church they have delighted to dwell upon any single item of it as it is described by the three evangel…

How delightful it is to observe that the wrath of man becomes tributary to the glory of God! See an illustration in the parable of the marriage supper . Those persons who were first bidden would not come.

WE can very well understand that there would be great excitement. It was the most improbable thing in the world that Peter should escape from custody. In the innermost dungeon, securely chained, watched by a fourfold guard, with no powerful friends outside to…

THE things which are seen are types of the things which are not seen. The works of creation are pictures to the children of God of the secret mysteries of grace. God’s truths are the apples of gold, and the visible creatures are the baskets of silver. The very…

THERE is a miserable tendency in men to cling to things that are seen. Though that which we behold is only temporal and shadowy, lacking any true substance or permanence; though the things round about us can only endure for a little while, and then will vanish…

BUT lately I tuned my harp to the music of forgiven sin and we sang of pardon bought with blood, finding our key-note in the words of David—“Who forgives all your iniquities.” It was a sweet subject to all our hearts, for we all have a portion in it, seeing we…

WE have taken these words for our text, the whole chapter, however, will have our attention.

MANY visions have led to the most disastrous results. When Napoleon had a vision of a universal monarchy over which he should preside, with the French eagle for his ensign, he drenched the lands in blood. Many visions have been wretchedly delusive. Men have dr…

OUR Savior used expressions concerning Himself which might be turned to another meaning than He intended. He did not guard His words by saying, “I am like bread, and faith is like eating and drinking,” but He said, “I am the bread of life,” and “Except a man e…

THE narrative of the glorious boldness and marvelous deliverance of the three holy children, or rather champions, is well-calculated to excite in the minds of believers firmness and steadfastness in upholding the truth in the teeth of tyranny and in the very j…

YOU remember the occasion concerning which these words were written. The children of Israel sent twelve men as spies into the land of Canaan and they brought back with them the fruit of the land, amongst the rest a bunch of grapes from Eshcol too heavy to be b…

NO. 2610 A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1899 DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON
Charles Spurgeon
SOME of the Corinthians had attached themselves to one great religious teacher and others to another. There was a disposition amongst them to set up rival leaders of opposing parties. A band would follow Paul, another company admired Apollos, and a third extol…
