God’s Time for Comforting

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 14, 1907

DAVID, in his troubles, knew where to turn for consolation—and that is no small piece of wisdom.

IN the chapter from which my text is taken, Paul is stirring up the Christians at Corinth to be ready with liberal gifts for the poor saints at Jerusalem. He finishes by reminding them of a greater gift than any they could bring, and by this one short word of…

The Last Enemy Destroyed

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 18, 1866

OUR Savior stooped to the lowest depths of degradation, He shall be exalted to the topmost heights of glory. “Being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross; wherefore God also hath highly exalte…

Hoping in God’s Mercy

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 22, 1914

BY the term, “the fear of God,” we understand in Holy Scripture the whole of true religion. We do not mean by the fear of God, the slavish fear which trembles in God’s presence, as the poor slave trembles under his master’s lash, but that childlike fear which…

The Vine of Israel

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1911

I FEEL somewhat straitened on this occasion, because of the specialty of my subject. I have been persuaded by the Society to preach on behalf of the Jews, but my mind does not quite run in the direction which is prescribed for it. I have been so in the habit o…

Death and Life—the Wage and the Gift

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 1, 1885

IN the fifth chapter of this Epistle, Paul had shown at considerable length our justification from sin through the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Savior. Our apostle goes on to speak of our sanctification in Christ, that as by the righteousness of Christ we…

Jonah’s Resolve—or “Look Again!”

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 14, 1884

WHAT a complex creature is man! Those who fancy that they can fully describe him do not understand him. He is a riddle and a contradiction. As says Ralph Erskine—

Who Loves Christ Most?

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1904

WHEN we commence the Christian life, it is very natural that we should say to ourselves, “We do not wish to be second-rate Christians, or ordinary Christians—much less to prove like the Laodicean professors, neither cold nor hot, or like those of whom the apos…

The Birth of Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 23, 1891

THE kingdom of Judah was in a condition of imminent peril. Two monarchs had leagued themselves against her, two nations had risen up for her destruction. Syria and Israel had come up against the walls of Jerusalem with full intent to raze them to the ground, a…

God’s Firebrands

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 19, 1911

[Another Sermon by Mr. Spurgeon on verses 1 to 5 is Sermon #611, Zechariah’s Vision of Joshua the High Priest] IT may be well to explain these words, for simple as they are, a few words of exposition may be useful to open up the metaphor and enforce the thrill…

An Epistle Illustrated by a Psalm

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 10, 1897

IN memory of my fiftieth birthday, our friends have built a house at the back of the Tabernacle, to be used for the purposes of the church, and to be called JUBILEE HOUSE. It will be a lasting Ebenezer bearing this witness, “Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.”…

Mistakes Concerning God

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 19, 1908

GOD is here speaking to a bad man, who had been committing all sorts of evil deeds. Even while professing to declare God’s statutes, he had been casting God’s words behind him, he had been the accomplice of thieves, and had been uttering falsehood and slander,…

Glorious Predestination

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 24, 1872

YOU will have noticed that in this chapter, Paul has been expounding a very deep inward, spiritual experience. He has written concerning the spirit of bondage, and the spirit of adoption; the infirmities of the flesh, and the helpings of the spirit; the waitin…

A Gospel Promise

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 6, 1916

THE blessing here promised is one of the most essential that men can need, or that God can give.

Salvation All of Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 4, 1872

OTHER divine attributes are manifest in salvation. The wisdom of God devised the plan, the power of God executes in us the work of salvation, the immutability of God preserves and carries it on—in fact, all the attributes of God are magnified in the salvation…

Memory—the Handmaid of Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 15, 1865

MEMORY is very often the servant of despondency. Despairing minds call to remembrance every dark foreboding in the past, and every gloomy feature in the present. Memory stands like a handmaiden, clothed in sackcloth, presenting to her master a cup of mingled g…

Christ Crucified

Charles Spurgeon • May 6, 1900

CORINTH was situated in the midst of a people who admired eloquence and wisdom. This epistle was written in the age of orators and philosophers. The apostle Paul was a man of profound learning, he had been educated at the feet of Gamaliel in all the wisdom of…

Servitude or Service—Which?

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 30, 1893

THE people of God had left their God and He had left them, so that Shishak, the king of Egypt, came against them, and though the Lord had respect to their humble prayer and would not suffer Shishak to destroy Jerusalem, yet He brought them into subjection to t…

Rivers of Water in a Dry Place

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 11, 1875

I SUPPOSE it must be conceded that the surface sense of this passage refers to Hezekiah, and to other good kings who were the means of great blessings to the declining kingdom of Judah. We can scarcely be thankful enough for a righteous government. If for a fe…

A Gospel Worth Dying For

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 12, 1883

PAUL says that, in comparison with his great objective of preaching the gospel, he did not count even his life to be dear to himself. Yet we are sure Paul highly valued life. He had the same love of life as other men, and he knew besides that his own life was…

The Faithful Saying

Charles Spurgeon • May 26, 1878

IT is worthy of notice that Paul, in the passage before us, as indeed in all his writings, exhibits great sensitiveness with regard to sin. The sin which he had himself committed against the Lord Jesus, looked at from some points of view, might have been great…

A Call to the Lord’s Own Flock

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 2, 1884

THE sermon of this morning is intended for the flock of God, and it will be directed very pointedly to that particular part of it here gathered in fellowship. God has been coming very near to us of late, for a considerable number of brothers and sisters have f…

Full Assurance

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1861

THE psalmist, when he wrote these words, was surrounded by many and furious enemies. He pleads with God to take hold on shield and buckler, and to come forth for his defense. Yet he feels that there is only one thing which God has need to do in order to remove…

Sacred Memories

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 12, 1899

THIS message from the Lord was written by the prophet Jeremiah to the Jews who were carried away to Babylon or even to more distant places. They were entreated not to forget the holy city where they had worshipped JEHOVAH in His temple. Among all their thought…
