WITH very great enthusiasm the Galatians received the gospel when Paul preached it to them. They seem to have been a very warm-hearted but fickle people and Paul found to his great grief that, while he was away from them, certain false teachers came in and tur…

CYPRUS was by no means a reputable island, it was devoted to the goddess Venus, and you can imagine what her worship was, and what would be the fruitful licentiousness which sprang of it. It was the native country of Barnabas, and as he was at first the leader…

VERY much of our future life will depend upon our earliest days. I like a remark of Mr. Ruskin’s that I remember to have read, though I cannot quote it verbatim. He says, “People often say, ‘We excuse the thoughtlessness of youth,’” but he says, “No, it never…

DAVID had been seriously ill, and the Lord had graciously restored him to health. He says, “O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to th…

MAN, the creature, may well desire communion with his Creator. When we are right-minded, we cannot bear to be like fatherless children, born into the world by a parent of whom we know nothing whatever. We long to hear our father’s voice. Of old time, before si…

INCESSANTLY do we preach, and do you hear, that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, that whosoever trusteth in Him shall be saved. This is the great and master-duty—the believing, the trusting.

IN a few minutes we shall gather together as members of the church of Christ to celebrate the memorial of His death. It is a memorable sight to see so many Christian people sitting together with the object of observing this ordinance. Frequently as I have seen…

IT is very noticeable, in this verse and in many other parts of the New Testament, what a sharp line of demarcation the Lord draws between His people and the world—“ The world seeth me no more, but ye see me.” We have the same truth taught in John’s first epis…

SALVATION is a blessing peculiar to the righteous. The ungodly do not, as a rule, believe that they have any need of salvation, therefore, they do not desire it, or seek after it. The righteous know that they are born in a fallen state; they acknowledge that t…

THESE words of our Lord were spoken in answer to Peter’s exclamation of surprise, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” It was a very natural expression of astonishment, and one which deserved no censure, but at the same time it was not a very wise remark, for although…

THERE are many dear friends engaged in business who can only reach the Tabernacle in time for the middle of the service, and therefore they lose the reading of the Scriptures and the exposition, which make up a whole with the sermon. This is a great loss to th…

LAST Sabbath morning we addressed you upon the gracious operations of the Holy Spirit in the believer, and upon the glorious fact of His dwelling in the hearts of the regenerate. Now it frequently happens that when we discourse upon the work of the Holy Spirit…

THE fault of being too happy, if it exists anywhere, must be a very scarce one. A far more prevalent vice is that of dwelling upon the dark shades of life to the forgetfulness of its brighter lights. We drink our wormwood in ostentatious publicity, but eat our…

THE Lord Jesus Christ communicates much to men with whom He comes in contact, and has a mighty influence upon them. He is blessed, and He is made a blessing. To those who love Him, Jesus Christ becomes a savor of life unto life. To those who are rebellious and…

WHAT a charming sentence! Can you say it? Only five words, but what meaning! Huge volumes of poetry have appeared from Chaucer to Tennyson, but it seems to me that the essence of poetry lies hidden in a marvelously condensed form within these few words. It sha…

NO doctrine in the whole Word of God has more excited the hatred of mankind than the truth of the absolute sovereignty of God [See Sermon #77, Divine Sovereignty]. The fact that “the Lord reigneth” is indisputable, and it is this fact that arouses the utmost o…

I HAVE a special purpose before me this evening. I shall endeavor to describe the state of the sinner’s heart when it has been awakened, when conscience is set at work, when sin and the judgment of God upon it occupy the mind’s attention—that period which John…

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text are #1417, “Your salvation” and #2293, Simeon’s Swan Song] THOUSANDS of times that song of Simeon has been sung by careless, thoughtless persons, but surely it is one of those songs that ought never to come exc…

WHAT condescending words! I cannot express the sense I feel of the great loving-kindness of the Lord to us in using such a simile to set forth His protecting care of His people. Had any poet suggested the metaphor, we might have recoiled from it as unseemly or…

LAST Sunday morning we spoke upon the woman who was healed of her issue of blood [Sermon #2018, Cured At Last!]. After having spent all her living upon physicians, and being disappointed in them all, she touched the Savior’s garment and was healed immediately.…

THE theologians have met each other around this text as on a field of battle. They have contended, and controverted, and dragged the text about as if it were a wild beast which they would tear limb from limb. And yet, if you will look through the letter of it,…

NOTE well that in the 17th verse Paul had renounced the “wisdom of words.” He says that he was sent to “preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.” It is very clear, therefore, that there is an excellence…

THERE are many days already past which we might well have wished to see. Who would not have rejoiced to have beheld the day when God smote Rahab and broke the dragon in the deep waters, when Miriam took the timbrel and went forth with the daughters of Israel,…

JOHN wrote to believers—“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.” It is worthy of note that all the epistles are so written. They are not letters to everybody; they are letters to those who are called to be saints. It o…
