BELOVED brethren and sisters, sinners are all around us living in their sins. Tens of thousands in our great cities, and our country towns, and villages are abiding in the densest spiritual darkness, and know not their right hand from their left as to eternal…

IN the first part of my discourse this morning I shall strictly keep to my text, as the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and endeavor to show what it teaches us with regard to Him. These are His own words, and it would be robbery to borrow them until first we h…

THOSE of you who were present this morning, will remember that I preached upon the Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that I earnestly entreated my hearers to submit themselves to His Kingly authority. [Sermon #1375, “Now Then, Do It”]. I hope that many wh…

I HAVE taken the whole verse for my text, but I am not sure that I shall keep to it. The words in it at which I catch are these, “Unless I had believed to see.” Most people see to believe, but in David’s case the process was reversed and put into Gospel order—…

THERE is something to be lamented in this state of mind, for if the psalmist had maintained unbroken communion with his God, he would not have been so much panting after Him as enjoying Him. It is deeply to be deplored that we who sometimes bask in the sunshin…

UNTIL our Lord should pour out the Spirit upon His apostles, they had to wait. It was expedient for them that He should go away and ascend into His glory. Then when He had received gifts for men and had distributed those gifts, they would be able to go forth i…

YOU have probably noticed, dear friends, while reading the chapter from which our text is taken, that it seems to divide itself into two parts. The first portion concerns that glorious Servant of God, “who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to b…

YOUNG beginners in grace are very apt to compare themselves with advanced disciples, and so to become discouraged, and tried saints fall into the like habit. They see those of God’s people who are upon the mount, enjoying the light of their Redeemer’s countena…

AMONG the friends of Paul, Titus was one of the most useful and one of the best beloved. Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and Titus was a Gentile. I should suppose that both his parents were Gentiles, and in this respect, he differed from Timothy, whose mo…

I HAVE a little to say about the condition of Judah under Ahaz, before I come to personal dealing with souls from this text. God had given to His people a very simple mode of worship. He was the invisible and only living God, and they were to worship Him in sp…

HOW complex is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ! Almost in the same breath the prophet calls Him a “child,” and a “counselor,” a “son,” and “the everlasting Father.” This is no contradiction, and to us scarcely a paradox, but it is a mighty marvel that He w…

IN the opening verses of this chapter our Lord declares that He will not rest till His purpose of grace is accomplished. “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest.” His soul is set upon the perfection of His church. Th…

THIS is a blessed chain of Gospel experience. Our text is not meant for the men of the world, who have their portion in this life, but for the chosen, and called, and faithful, who are brought into the inner circle of Christ’s disciples, and taught to understa…

THAT is an excellent answer which was given by a poor man to a skeptic who attempted to ridicule his faith. The scoffer said, “Pray sir, is your God a great God or a little God?” The poor man replied, “Sir, my God is so great that the heaven of heavens cannot…

, 8 THE great trouble which is here described very probably happened to David long after he had been a believer. He had been living the life of faith, perhaps, for years, in a calm, happy, and quiet manner. And by and by he met with outward tribulation, and no…

THE children of Israel were very prone to unbelief. They wanted something visible to worship and to trust. They could not learn the lesson of faith in the one great Invisible and hence they were one day bowing before an idol, and the next they were murmuring a…

IT is remarkable that God has traced so much of the misery of the children of Israel in the period of their degradation to the unfaithfulness of those governors, priests, and prophets who bare rule over them.
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 18, 1906
YOU must have noticed, dear friends, how very frequently God makes the life of a man to be the reflection of his character. There is an echo, in his outward experience, to the inward character of the man.

I SUPPOSE that this incident happened immediately after our Lord’s first prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. His pleading became so fervent, so intense, that it forced from Him a bloody sweat. He was evidently, in a great agony of fear as He prayed and wrestle…

BECAUSE our Savior’s reasoning was unanswerable, “therefore the Jews sought again to take Him.” When men are convinced against their wills, when the heart struggles against the head, it usually happens that they turn persecutors. If they cannot answer holy arg…

THE publican was justified rather than the Pharisee, the outwardly worse man of the two was accepted rather than the one who was apparently better, “This man went down to his house justified rather than the other.” Observe, dear friends, our Savior’s gentle wa…

GOD’S people will never thrive on anything less substantial than bread from heaven. Israel in Egypt might live on garlic and onions, but Israel in the wilderness must be fed with the manna that came down from heaven, and with the water that gushed out of the r…

PAUL is here arguing for the safety, the perseverance, and the ultimate perfection, of the saints to whom he is writing. He thanks God for what He has done for them, and is assured that He will do yet more—that He will certainly confirm them unto the end, that…

IN the garden of Eden, immediately after the fall, the sentence of sorrow, and of sorrow multiplied, fell upon the woman. In the garden where Christ had been buried, after His resurrection, the news of comfort—comfort rich and divine—came to a woman through th…
