THOSE whom the Lord addressed, and especially Simon, had been fishermen. “Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes.” In the early part of your career most of you were fishermen, or men-catchers, and truly, to be fishers of men should…

THE Lord Jesus is thoughtful of bodily wants. In His earlier days He fed multitudes of people, on two grand occasions, with bread and fish. And now that He has died and risen from the dead, and is in the body of His glory, He still thinks of the hungering bodi…

IT was not John’s business to attract followers to himself but to point them to Jesus, and he very faithfully discharged his commission. His opinion of his Master, of whom he was the herald, was a very high one. He reverenced Him as the anointed of the Lord, t…

PERHAPS you are aware that there has always been a certain set of persons who have tried to disprove the Gospel narrative by picking out what they suppose to be discrepancies, especially in the statements of Matthew and Luke.

MAN at his very best is only man, and well might David ask, “What is man?” In part, he is but red earth, as Adam was when he came fresh from his Maker’s hand. Solomon tells us, in the tenth verse of this chapter, “That which has been is named already, and it i…

LONG before David’s time, the ark of the Lord had been almost forgotten by the children of Israel.

THE father had a right to the services of both his sons, for they were, according to the strict rendering of the word, children, or young men under age. They depended upon him for everything, so they were bound to obey his commands. He did not lay upon them an…

This is a very short and simple text, and some would think it very easy to say all that can be said upon it, but indeed it is a very large text, and too full of meaning for me to attempt to expound it all. The words are few, but the thoughts suggested are very…

WHAT a biography of a man! How short and yet how complete! We have seen biographies so prolix, that full one half is nonsense, and much of the other half too VAPID to be worth reading. We have seen large volumes spun out of men’s letters. Writing desks have be…

THESE are among the last words of Moses before his death. He addressed the people in a most tender and affectionate manner before he went from them. “The old man eloquent” seemed as if he would never leave off, he kept on reminding the children of Israel of th…

THIS passage has been used with great frequency as the expression of the experience of the people of God, and I think it has been very rightly so used. It is a very accurate picture of the way in which sinners are raised up from despair to hope and salvation,…

ARE there indeed? Yes, He that searches the hearts says so. Then it is high time for us to inquire, “What is it to believe in Christ? What is it to believe to the saving of the soul?” It is not merely to consider the Gospel to be true. It is not simply to endo…

[In the year 1873, Mr. Spurgeon delivered what he called “a series of sententious homilies” on the Beatitudes. After an introductory discourse upon the Sermon on the mount and the Beatitudes as a whole, he intended to preach upon each one separately, but eithe…

I EXPECT during the present week to have the pleasure of preaching at Kettering, to celebrate the centenary of the ministry in that place of Mr. Toller and his father. My esteemed friend Mr. Toller has for about fifty-five years proclaimed the Gospel of the gr…

MARY was full of a love to Christ which could be very active and self-sacrificing. I have read to you of her pouring the precious box of spikenard upon our Lord for His anointing. She was therefore one who not only waited and listened, but she served the Lord…

IN Thessalonica the conversions to the faith were remarkable. Paul came there without prestige, without friends, when he was in the very lowest condition, for he had just been beaten and imprisoned at Philippi, and had fled from that city. Yet it mattered not…

AT this time David was in the hold—I suppose in the stronghold of Ziklag, which the king of the Philistines had given to him. It was in that fortress-town that he received a welcome addition to his band.

LAST Lord’s-Day we had for our texts two promises [ Everlasting Love Revealed, #2149.] I trust they were full of comfort to the tried people of God and to souls in the anguish of conviction. Today we will consider two precepts so that we may not seem to neglec…

GOD’S ancient people sadly provoked Him with their idolatries from age to age. He was long-suffering to them to the last degree, but at length He grew weary of them and, according to His own words, “He abhorred His own inheritance.” He caused them to be carrie…

THIS is a psalm of praise all through. It is to be sung to the high-sounding cymbals. There is not a low note anywhere, it is all robust, exhilarating, joyful. It is “Hallelujah!” from beginning to end, and it did not seem possible to the psalmist that he coul…

IN this narrative we have the portrait of a soul for which a sure blessing is reserved. If the story closed without its final verse, one might be quite sure as to what the result of the woman’s pleading would be. Christ must change His nature if a person comin…

OUR Lord Jesus prayed much for His people while He was here on earth. He made Peter the special subject of His intercession when He knew that he was in extraordinary danger. The midnight wrestling of the Son of man were for His people. In the sacred record, ho…

BEREAVEMENTS are among the sorest griefs of this mortal life. We are permitted by God to love those whom He gives to us, and our heart eagerly casts its tendrils around them, and therefore when suddenly the beloved objects are withdrawn by death, our tenderest…

THE apostle quotes from the Old Testament, from the second chapter of Habakkuk, at the fourth verse, and thus confirms one inspired statement by another. Even the just are not justified by their own righteousness, but live by faith. It follows then most conclu…
