Encouragement for the Depressed

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 9, 1915

ZECHARIAH was engaged in the building of the temple. When its foundations were laid, it struck everybody as being a very small edifice compared with the former glorious structure of Solomon. The friends of the enterprise lamented that it should be so small—the…

The Whole Machinery of Salvation

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 24, 1893

PLEASE notice, dear friends, that in the thirteenth verse, we have the way of salvation set before us in the plainest terms—“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I remember well when I lived on that verse for many months. I longed fo…

Our Lord’s Solemn Inquiry

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 13, 1916

IF any one of us, lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ, had been anywhere near the cross when He uttered those words, I am sure our hearts would have burst with anguish, and one thing is certain—we should have heard the tones of that dying cry as long as we ever li…

Good Cause for Great Zeal

Charles Spurgeon

THE facts of the case were these. Under Zerubbabel, the Jews, who had returned from Babylon, commenced to rebuild Jerusalem. There were in the land certain half-and-half persons, somewhat like the Samaritans, who were neither Jews nor Gentiles. And they asked…

Zion’s Prosperity

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 26, 1898

A SELFISH man in trouble is exceedingly hard to comfort, because the source of his joy lies entirely within himself, and when he is sad, all his springs are dry. But a large hearted man, a man of benevolence and Christian philanthropy, has other springs from w…

I Was Before

Charles Spurgeon

I AM not going to dwell, at this time, upon the special items of the text as to what Paul was before his conversion, because none of us have been exactly as he was. We have all gone astray like lost sheep, but each one of us has taken a distinct course from al…

Bad Lodgers, and How to Treat Them

Charles Spurgeon

ONE notices, in reading such a chapter as this fourth of Jeremiah, that the change which God required in the Jewish people was a very deep and thorough one. It was not only the washing of their hands, nor the cleansing of their outward lives, but the washing o…

Unanswered Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 6, 1913

IT is very clear to everyone who reads this Psalm that these are not so much the words of David as they are the words of David’s Son and David’s Lord, our blessed Master. He prayed with strong crying and tears. He came before His Father’s throne with supplicat…

Our Position and Our Purpose

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 13, 1911

KINDLING with strong emotion, constrained by the love of Christ, and animated by the fellowship of all spiritual blessing, the apostle here strikes out an exhortation in which he appeals to the noblest passions of the children of God—to their sense of a divine…

“It Pleased God”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 16, 1910

WE will read the whole verse from which our text is taken, “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace.” You will perceive, I think, in these words, that the divine plan of salvation is very clearly laid down. I…

The Bible Tried and Proved

Charles Spurgeon • May 5, 1889

IN this psalm our text stands in contrast with the evil of the age. The Psalmist complains that the “godly man ceases. The faithful fail from among the children of men.” It was a great grief to him and he found no consolation except in the words of the Lord. W…

“Is God in the Camp?”

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 17, 1892

ISRAEL was out of gear with God. The people had forgotten the Most High, and had gone aside to the worship of Baal. They had neglected the things of God, therefore, they were given up to their enemies. When JEHOVAH had brought them out of Egypt, He instructed…

“The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 22, 1899

GOD here calls the Jews by the name of Jacob. These were His people in a very special sense, for He had chosen them from among all the nations of the earth and had brought them near Him that they might be His own portion, His inheritance. Yet upon these people…

The Lord and the Leper

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 12, 1888

BELOVED, we saw in the reading, that our Lord had been engaged in special prayer. He had gone alone on the mountainside to have communion with God. Simon and the rest search for Him, and He comes away in the early morning with the burrs from the hillside upon…

Idolatry Condemned

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 19, 1907

THIS is the conclusion of one of the most mysterious, most simple and yet most sublime, of all the divinely-inspired Books, and we may naturally expect that the closing verse of the epistle will have great weight in it. This seems to be the practical conclusio…

The Throne of God and of the Lamb

Charles Spurgeon

WE shall take these words as referring to heaven. Certainly it is most true of the celestial city as well as of the millennial city, that the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. This theme of surpassing interest intimately concerns all of us who are…

Prospect—“He Will Keep”

Charles Spurgeon

WHAT a wonderful intercommunion and fellowship exists between the Father and the Son in the matter of redemption! It is the Father who gave the Son; it is the Son who gave Himself. It is the Father who gave us to the Son; it is the Son who has bought us with a…

The Turning Point

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 23, 1874

THIS sentence expresses the true turning point in the Prodigal Son Son’s life story. Many other matters led up to it, and before he came to it there was much in him that was very hopeful; But this was the point, itself, and had he never reached it, he would ha…

The Priest Dispensed With

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 15, 1875

IT is a part of the theory of Ritualism, that is to say, Anglicized Popery, that no man can know his sins forgiven unless he be assured thereof by a priest. They tell us that to know ourselves saved we must either have a revelation from heaven, which we may no…

Our Glorious Leader

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 4, 1917

A VERY beautiful spectacle it is to see the Lord Jesus marching in front and His followers eagerly following on behind. They were going up to Jerusalem, where it is true He would receive some honor, but where also He would be betrayed into the hands of cruel m…

The Almighty Warrior

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 7, 1912

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon verse five is #3039, The King’s Sharp Arrows] THIS psalm has been thought by some to be a marriage song for Solomon on the occasion of his wedding with the daughter of Pharaoh. It may be so, though I should be very loth to…

Jubilee Joy; or, Believers Joyful in Their King

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 19, 1887

YOUR streets will ring with joyous acclamations when the Queen and court pass through them to the Abbey, and well they may! The jubilee of a good and great Queen is an event to be celebrated with enthusiasm. Our hearts are fully in accord with those who bless…

“Good Judgment”

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 19, 1900

WHEN the psalmist wrote these words, he was contemplating the goodness of God. In the verse preceding our text, the sixty-fourth, he sang, “The earth, O JEHOVAH, is full of thy mercy!” as if he could not walk abroad without seeing evidences of it, or look upwa…
