The Sinner’s Friend

Charles Spurgeon

MANY a true word is spoken in jest, and many a tribute to virtue has been unwittingly paid by the sinister lips of malice. The enemies of our Lord Jesus Christ thought to brand Him with infamy, hold Him up to derision, and hand His name down to everlasting sco…

The Arrows of the Lord’s Deliverance

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 22, 1864

THAT deathbed scene speaks volumes for the power of holiness. Elisha was the prophet of God, a man of no honorable station, except that he is always honorable whom God calls to serve Him. Joash the king of Israel—who has often rejected Elisha’s admonitions, an…

The Death of the Christian

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 9, 1855

WE do not believe all that Job’s friends said. They spoke very often as uninspired men, for we find them saying many things that are not true. And if we read the book of Job through, we might say with regard to them, “Miserable comforters are ye all,” for they…

Christ’s Prayer for His People

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 21, 1855

THIS prayer of Christ is an ever precious portion to all true believers, from the fact that each of them has an inalienable interest in it. Every one of us, beloved, when we listen to the words of Christ should recollect that He is praying for us—that while it…

Going Home—a Christmas Sermon

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 21, 1856

THE case of the man here referred to is a very extraordinary one—it occupies a place among the memorabilia of Christ’s life, perhaps as high as anything which is recorded by either of the evangelists.

Self-Sufficiency Slain

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 11, 1860

CONSCIOUS of this truth in my own case, I would earnestly seek the help of God’s Spirit in preaching as in every other spiritual exercise, for, without Him I can do nothing. It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian churc…

Weak Hands and Feeble Knees

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 20, 1859

IT is the duty of all men to be careful of the sons of sorrow. There be some who from their very birth are marked by melancholy as her own. The silent shades of sorrow are their congenial haunts, the glades of the forest of grief are the only places where thei…

The Cry of the Heathen

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 25, 1858

THIS was no doubt a special vision sent of God for the direction of the apostle. For we are told in the next verse, that they assuredly gathered from this vision, that the Lord had called them to preach the Gospel in Macedonia. And yet the vision may be very r…

The Blind Beggar

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 7, 1859

THIS poor man was beset with two great evils—blindness and poverty. It is sad enough to be blind, but if a man that is blind is in possession of riches, there are ten thousand comforts which may help to cheer the darkness of his eye and alleviate the sadness o…

All-Sufficiency Magnified

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 18, 1860

THE former part of the sentence would be a piece of impudent daring without the latter part to interpret it. There have been some men who, puffed up with vanity, have in their hearts said, “I can do all things.” Their destruction has been sure, and near at han…

Once a Curse But Now a Blessing

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 6, 1863

AS these words came from the lips of Zechariah, doubtless they referred to the seed of Abraham,including the two tribes of Judah and the ten tribes of Israel. They have already received a minorfulfillment, but their most glorious accomplishment is yet to come.…

Where to Find Fruit

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 28, 1864

THE text has a double significance. It may indicate the fruit upon which we feed, or the fruit which we are enabled to produce. If it shall mean the first, there is much of comfort in it. The Lord has compared Himself, in His condescending mercy, to a green fi…

Mealtime in the Cornfields

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 2, 1863

IF we lived in the country, it would not be necessary for me to remind you that the time of harvest has again happily come upon us. I saw, one day last week, a fine sample of the new wheat, part of a considerable quantity which had just been sold. And in many…

Preach the Gospel

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 5, 1855

THE greatest man of apostolic times was the apostle Paul. He was always great in everything. If you consider him as a sinner, he was exceeding sinful. If you regard him as a persecutor, he was exceeding mad against the Christians and persecuted them even unto…

The Minister’s Stock-Taking

Charles Spurgeon

THIS is the only proper way to calculate the results of our ministry. We just want the account book ruled with two columns. On one side we must put down the long list of the some that believe not, and on the brighter side we may enter what is too often, the fa…

Laus Deo

Charles Spurgeon • May 29, 1864

MY text consists almost entirely of monosyllables, but it contains the loftiest of sublimities. Such a tremendous weight of meaning is concentrated here, that an archangel’s eloquence would fail to convey its teaching in all its glory to any finite minds, even…

The Best of Masters

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 10, 1859

THE gospel of John is peculiarly the history of Jesus, the Son of God. Matthew deals with Jesus as the Prince of the house of David. Mark treats of Him as the Servant of servants. And Luke views Him as the Son of Man; but John, with eagle eyes, looks beyond al…

Chastisement—Now and Afterwards

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 6, 1863

LAST Sabbath morning, we tried to show you how the uncleanness of sin is removed. By the application of the blood of Christ the guilt of sin is cleansed. By the water which flowed with the blood from the side of Jesus defilement is taken away forever. Our work…

A Revival Sermon

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 26, 1860

GOD’S promises are not exhausted when they are fulfilled, for when once performed, they stand just as good as they did before, and we may await a second accomplishment of them. Man’s promises even at the best are like a cistern which holds but a temporary supp…

A Caution to the Presumptuous

Charles Spurgeon • May 13, 1855

IT is a singular fact, but nevertheless most certain, that the vices are the counterfeits of virtues.

Do You Know Him?

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 31, 1864

THE objective of the apostle’s life—that for which he sacrificed everything—country, kindred, honor, comfort, liberty, and life itself, was that he might know Christ. Observe that this is not Paul’s prayer as an unconverted man, that he may know Christ, and so…

Portraits of Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 13, 1861

IT is not so much predestination which will occupy our attention this morning, as the fact that believers are predestinated to be conformed to the image of God’s dear Son .

The World Turned Upside Down

Charles Spurgeon • May 9, 1858

THIS is just an old version of an oft-repeated story. When disturbances arise in a state, and rebellions and mutinies cause blood to be shed, it is still the custom to cry, “The Christians have done this.” In the days of Jesus we know that it was laid to the c…
