Heaven’s Nurse Children

Charles Spurgeon

IF you note well the opening part of this chapter, you will find that it consists of a wonderful chain of mercies. Every single line is a rare jewel and the whole passage is a casket unspeakably precious. The chapter begins with love —ancient, sovereign, elect…

The Fourfold Treasure

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 27, 1871

WE meet somewhere in the Old Testament with the expression “salt without prescribing how much.” Beyond all question the name, person, and work of Jesus are the salt and savor of every true Gospel ministry, and we cannot have too much of them. Alas! that in so…

Alive

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 12, 1880

YESTERDAY afternoon I was the subject of a somewhat singular circumstance. An esteemed friend and relative came over to my house, evidently laboring under great disturbance of mind, and having inquiries to make of a very important order. I was, at the time, wa…

“Bought with a Price”

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 6, 1871

OUR beloved Brother, Thomas Cook, who has for so long a time served this church as an honored deacon, has fallen asleep in Christ. We have laid his earthly remains in the tomb—his spirit rejoices before the throne of God. This day we thank God for his useful l…

An Inscription for the Mausoleum of the Saints

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 1, 1885

“THESE all died in faith.” Believers constitute a class by themselves —“These.” They are the people that dwell alone, and shall not be numbered among the nations. We see a great many distinctions in the world which God takes no notice of—there is neither Jew n…

Adorning the Gospel

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 9, 1895

I AM afraid that there are some Christians who would hardly like the best preaching that they could ever have. The best doctrine that could ever be delivered would be like that of our Lord Jesus Christ, Himself—eminently ethical, full of precepts and words of…

Keeping the Soul Alive

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 4, 1915

SELF-SUFFICIENCY is the sin of nature—all-sufficiency is the supply of grace. Ishmael, sent away into the wilderness with his bottle, is man trusting in himself—Isaac, dwelling by the never-failing wells of Gerar, is man led by grace to trust in the unfailing…

How Is Salvation Received?

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 1, 1877

WE shall turn during yet another Sabbath morning to one of the great vital truths of the Gospel. I feel it to be important more and more to bring forward the fundamental doctrines, since they are in certain quarters placed so much in the background.

“Life for a Look”

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 16, 1902

SINCE this text was blessed to my conversion many years ago, I have often preached from it, but on this occasion, I am not going to speak of it as a whole. There is only one thought that I shall endeavor to bring out of it, and I intend to act as the gold-beat…

The Truth of God’s Salvation

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 15, 1894

I WOULD have you admire the educational power of prayer, for prayer is in itself, an education for a saint. God might have given us every blessing at once without our asking Him for anything, but He says, even of that which He has promised to His people, “I wi…

Mongrel Religion

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 2, 1881

DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1881, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.

The Sluggard’s Farm

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 10, 1888

NO DOUBT Solomon was sometimes glad to lay aside the robes of state, escape from the forms of court, and go through the country unknown. On one occasion, when he was doing so, he looked over the broken wall of a little estate which belonged to a farmer of his…

Jesus: “All Blessing and All Blessed”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 1, 1891

THERE are many famous names in human history, but many of them are connected with deeds which have brought no blessing upon mankind. To bless, and to be blessed, is the noblest sort of fame, and yet how few have thought it worth the seeking! Full many a name i…

The Tenses

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 17, 1901

WHEN children are learning their grammar, they have to pay particular attention to the tenses of the verbs. And it is important for Christians also to remember their tenses—to recollect the past, the present, and the future. Our text brings all three very vivi…

Zedekiah—or, the Man Who Cannot Say, “No”

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 21, 1890

“PUT not your trust in princes.” Zedekiah professed to be a friend to Jeremiah, but when the princes sought permission to put the prophet to death, Zedekiah’s friendship was not worth much. He said, “He is in your hands: for the king is not he that can do anyt…

The Great Arbitration Case

Charles Spurgeon

THE patriarch Job, when reasoning with the Lord concerning his great affliction, felt himself to be at a disadvantage and declined the controversy, saying, “He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.” Yet feeli…

The Family Likeness

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 28, 1915

WE shall do well to notice how much in this chapter is ascribed to the Holy Spirit. It is a chapter full of all good things, most instructive and consolatory. But perhaps one of its most notable points is this— that it so greatly magnifies the Holy Spirit. You…

Communion with Christ—a Baptizing Sermon

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 1, 1900

THE expression “walking together” is often used in Scripture as a figure for communion. “Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Communion, if it be thorough and entire, implies activity . It is not merely contemplation, it is action, and hen…

The Reception of Sinners

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 22, 1874

DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1874, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.

Carried by Four

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 19, 1871

YOU have this same narrative in the ninth chapter of Matthew and in the second chapter of Mark.

The Chariots of Ammi-Nadib

Charles Spurgeon

WE cannot be quite sure at this date what these chariots of Amminadib were to which the inspired poet here refers. Some suppose that he may have alluded to a person of that name, who was renowned, like Jehu of old, for his furious driving. Hence it might have…

“Thy First Love”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 10, 1895

THIS was the word of JEHOVAH to His ancient people. He remembered the faithfulness and earnestness of Israel when the nation was first born and came out of Egypt under Moses, and went after God into “the waste howling wilderness.” Alas, in after years, they wo…

A Call to the Depressed

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 3, 1914

I SHALL not attempt at this time to decipher the history of the prophecy with which these words are associated. To the Hebrew nation they were big with counsel, bright with hope. Apart, however, from the connection in which it stands, this verse supplies a poi…
