Found by Jesus and Finding Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 26, 1894

FOR a soul to come to Jesus is the grandest event in its history. It is spiritually dead till that day, but it then begins to live, and a saved man may reckon his age from the time in which he first knew the Lord. That day of first knowing Christ is important…

Why Am I Thus?

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 14, 1872

LAST Thursday evening [Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, #1056, “Perseverance without Presumption”], as many of you will remember, I addressed you upon the final perseverance of the saints. I have been greatly surprised and gratified during the week to learn how…

What Self Deserves

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 6, 1916

IT HAS been the supposition of those who know not by experience, that if a man be persuaded that he is pardoned, and that he is a child of God, he will necessarily become proud of the distinction which God has conferred upon him. Especially if he be a believer…

Shaven and Shorn, But Not Beyond Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 9, 1887

LET me introduce the text to you. Samson was set apart from his birth to be the champion of Israel, to break the power of the Philistines who lorded over God’s people. Everything in his bringing up had reference to his peculiar calling as the hero of Israel, t…

A Waiting God and a Waiting People

Charles Spurgeon

THE people were in a great hurry to be delivered from their enemies. The Assyrians had come up in great force, and were covering the land with their armies. They had already devastated the neighboring kingdom of Israel, and therefore the men of Judah were afra…

The Main Matter

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 6, 1881

THE public life of our most blessed Lord Jesus Christ was brief. Few suppose it to have exceeded three and a half years but yet, what a full life it was! It had in it not only enough to compose the four gospels, each one of which is sufficient to lead men to s…

Converts, and Their Confession of Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 8, 1895

THIS is to take place after the Lord has poured out His Spirit upon His people, and upon their off-spring. The mainspring of everything good and gracious is the Holy Spirit. Where He comes, everything prospers. But when He has gone, nothing but failure and dis…

The Two Pillars of Salvation

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 22, 1894

FAITH—true, saving faith—is in all ages the same. It may exercise itself upon different things, but yet the faith of Abraham is the same faith as that which was in the heart of Paul, and the faith of Paul was precisely the same faith as that which is in the he…

Resurrection—Christ the Firstfruits

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 20, 1862

THE fact of Christ’s resurrection is exceedingly well attested. It was needful that it should be beyond dispute, since it lies at the very basis of our holy faith, it is consoling to think that it is so, for thus our foundation stands most secure. Our Lord was…

Jesus Admired in Them That Believe

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 1, 1879

WHAT a difference between the first and second comings of our Lord! When He shall come a second time it will be to be glorified and admired, but when He came the first time it was to be despised and rejected of men. He comes a second time to reign with unexamp…

Abraham’s Double Blessing

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 27, 1897

THIS was to be the double result of Abraham’s coming out from his own country and his father’s house. Those Orientals clung with great tenacity to their native homes. We, in these latter ages, are not so restful, we think nothing of crossing the Atlantic and m…

Salvation as It Is Now Received

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 10, 1910

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #698, Seeing is Not Believing, but Believing is Seeing.] WE usually speak of the greater benefits of salvation as being in the future. We desire that we may be found in Christ in the day of His appearing, a…

“Thou Art Now the Blessed of the Lord”

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 10, 1892

THESE words truly describe the position of many whom I address at this time. There are hundreds here upon whom my eyes can rest, and to any one of whom I might point with this finger, or rather, to whom I might extend this hand, to give a hearty shake and say,…

A Definite Challenge for Definite Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 9, 1916

NO DOUBT our Lord’s disciples imagined that He was going up to Jerusalem to take unto Himself the Kingdom. They hoped that they should be partakers of that earthly grandeur which they had fondly pictured would glitter around the person of the Son of David. Whe…

God’s Love Shamefully Questioned

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 29, 1897

MAN, by nature, is a lump of ingratitude. He is often ungrateful even to his earthly friend, and he is invariably ungrateful to his best Friend above, until the grace of God has changed his heart. Leave him alone, and though he may be loaded with mercy, yet he…

A Searching Question

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 13, 1908

THIS question was addressed by David to a young man of Egypt who was servant to an Amalekite.

Loving Advice for Anxious Seekers

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 17, 1867

IF YOU are acquainted with the context, you will at once perceive that this verse has a special reference to persons in trouble. Much-tempted and severely-tried saints are frequently at their wits’ end, and though they may be persuaded that in the end good wil…

The Savior’s Silence

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 21, 1911

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #2841, Prayer—Its Discouragements and Encouragements] THE diary of a physician, one would think, must necessarily be deeply interesting. What a variety of cases must come under the doctor’s observation in t…

The Hiding of Moses by Faith

Charles Spurgeon

AS I observed to you in the exposition, the stress in these passages of sacred biography should be laid upon the words “by faith.” The mighty deeds of heroes and the obedient acts of pilgrim fathers are only told to us because they spring out of faith. It is t…

A Voice From Heaven

Charles Spurgeon

THE text speaks of a voice from heaven which said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD.” The witness of that voice is not needed upon every occasion, for even the most common observer is compelled to feel, concerning many of the righteous, that their d…

The Christian’s Motto

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 22, 1874

OUR Lord Jesus stood alone as the advocate of right and truth in the days when He dwelt among men. It is true He had a few followers, but they were so slow to learn, and so weak in action, that they rather increased His difficulties than rendered Him assistanc…

Concentration and Diffusion

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 9, 1909

YOU will notice, if you read the narrative attentively, that the two sisters and the brother, who made up the favored household at Bethany, though all most truly loving Jesus, had each one a different way of showing that love. Even so, true children of God do…

Little, But Lovely

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 1, 1917

How kind and tender Jesus was towards His disciples! When He spoke sternly, it was to the outside multitude. Many a time was His spirit moved to rebuke them sharply. Very familiarly, however, did He unbend Himself in the presence of the few attached followers…

A Great Bargain

Charles Spurgeon

A MERCHANT endeavors to trade so as to make a profit. Whether he deals in pearls or in grain, he does not hope to obtain riches by labor. He leaves that to those who eat their bread in the sweat of their face. He tries to get his by the sweat of his brain. He…
