[This is one of the series of sermons upon the olive tree that Mr. Spurgeon had intended to make into a volume if he had been spared long enough. Others which have been already published are # 1569, The Golden Lamp and its Goodly Lessons, #3176, The Beauty of…

THE character of a man hinges upon his relation to God. You may know what manner of man he is, and what his communications are, if you find out how he stands towards God. With many, God is a mere name—a word to be pronounced more or less reverently; but nothin…

THIS psalm is full to the very brim of exceeding great and precious promises, nor is our text the least choice of them all. We have here two pearls. I am not sufficient merchantman to be able to say which is the more precious, but certain I am that the two put…

WHAT we ask others to do we should be prepared to do ourselves. Precept fails unless it is followed up by example. The apostle had exhorted the Hebrew believers to pray for him in the words, “Pray for us.” And then, as if to show that he did not ask of them wh…

WHEN David wrote these words, he was not in a condition of ease and luxury. He was not even in a position of assured safety, for he says in the hundred and ninth verse, “My soul is continually in my hand.” You know what we mean when we say that a man carries h…

LAST Sabbath, in our morning sermon—(See Sermon #1189, Volume 20—THE TURNING POINT—by the grace of God, for all 63 volumes of C. H. Spurgeon sermons in Modern English, and 574 Spanish translations, sinner sets his face towards his God, and for the first time g…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is sermon #384, Full Assurance] THIS text may very properly be understood as a request that God would teach the soul to rest upon Him in temporal difficulties, and straits, and distresses . We are all apt to t…

ALL labor is honorable. No man ever needs to be ashamed of an honest calling. Whether a potter or a gardener, or whatever else his occupation may be, the workman need never blush at the craft or toil by which he earns his honest wage. “In the sweat of your fac…

WE have come in our theological conversation to use that word “blood” somewhat lightly. I think it should scarcely ever be pronounced without a shudder. “The blood is the life thereof.” When shed, it indicates suffering—suffering more intense than that of chas…

THE comparison of a man to a tree, and of human works to fruit, is exceedingly common in Scripture, because it is most suggestive, natural, and appropriate. As fruit is the production of the tree’s life and the end for which the tree exists, so obedience to th…

IT is well, sometimes, to sit down and take a grateful review of all that God has done for us, and with us, from our first day until now. We must not be like hogs under the oak, that eat the acorns, but never thank the tree or the Lord who made it grow. We mus…

IT seems to me that the departure of Elijah from the world, though of course he did not “die” at all, may furnish us with a very good type of the decease of those saints who, although taken away on a sudden, are not without some previous intimation that in suc…

THERE are some speeches which could not be made by ordinary men. As soon as you hear them, you feel that there is a ring about them which is by no means common. Certain expressions which have been heard and remembered could have been uttered only by great warr…

THIS text is from the story of the blind man to whom Jesus had given sight. His narrative of the cure provoked the anger of the Jews and their rulers, and as the man could not be brought to see with them that one who had opened his eyes could also be a bad man…

SAUL seems to have known that he was the elect person, having already been secretly anointed by Samuel, and therefore while the voting was going on, and while the lots were being cast, he hid himself.

I HAVE lately in my ministry very much detained you in the balmy region of divine lovingkindness. Our subjects have frequently been full of love. I have, perhaps, repeated myself, and gone over the same ground again and again, but I could not help it. My own s…

[This Address is an interesting souvenir of an afternoon visit paid by Mr. Spurgeon to an invalid at Mentone, the late Giles Shaw, Esq., of Bewdley—brother-in-law of Miss Frances Ridley Havergal.

“BREAK up your fallow ground.” Nature at its largest is but a small farm, and we had need to get a harvest out of every acre of it, for our needs are great. Have we left any part of our small allotment uncultivated? If so, it is time to look into the matter an…

THE holy women, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, came to the sepulcher, hoping to find there the body of their Lord, which they intended to embalm. Their intention was good, their will was accepted before God, but for all that, their desire was not gratified…

I WANTED, dear friends, earnestly wanted, to continue the subject of last Lord’s-day morning, for I felt it important that we should bear again and again our witness to the doctrine of the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord. But, at the same time, I…

MANY of the visions which John saw are very obscure, and although a man who is assured of his own salvation may possibly be justified in spending his days in endeavoring to interpret them, yet I am sure of this, that it will not be a profitable task for unconv…

THAT is a striking name for a man, “he that had been possessed with the devil.” It would stick to him as long as he lived, and it would be a standing sermon wherever he went. He would be asked to tell the story of what he used to be, and how the change came ab…

APPARENTLY the parable of the marriage feast would have been complete without this addition, but there was infinite wisdom in appending this sequel. This is seen practically in the experience of the church of God. Those who are permitted to see large additions…

HERE is a common complaint of God’s people, and here are two remedies which David, wisely guided of God, administers with discretion. Let us direct our meditation in this order, first, let us talk of the complaint, and then secondly, let us look into the divin…
