Jesus the Way

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 1, 1905

IT is coming on dark and we are lost among the mountains. There is an awful precipice there, a quarter of a mile sharp down. There is a bog over yonder, and if a man once gets into it, he will never get out again. There is a forest yonder, and if one should be…

The Preparatory Prayers of Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 30, 1909

THERE is one peculiarity about the life of our Lord Jesus Christ which everybody must have noticed who has carefully read the four Gospels, namely, that He was a man of much prayer. He was mighty as a preacher, for even the officers who were sent to arrest Him…

Singing in the Ways of the Lord

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 11, 1881

ACCORDING to the context, this is spoken of kings. “All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, when they hear the words of Your mouth. Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord.” It will be a novel spectacle to see kings singing in the ways of the…

Today! Today! Today!

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 1, 1880

THIS Psalm is a burst of praise. It resounds with the joyful noise of hearty thanksgiving unto Jehovah and yet before it closes you hear the solemn tones of exhortation to men to hearken to the voice of their God. Alas that it should be true, but true it is, t…

Goodness Going Before

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 21, 1912

OUR text is one of many instances of the way in which words change their meanings. The word “prevent” as we now use it, has a very different meaning from that which it had when our translators used it. It now signifies to get before one, to stop up his path, t…

God’s Knowledge of Sin

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 9, 1898

IT seems then, that the best of men have a measure of foolishness in them, and that sometimes, that foolishness shows itself. How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves! How sincerely ought we…

“Grace and Glory”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 12, 1913

IT is very wise to look within ourselves to discover our own weakness and spiritual poverty, but it is very unwise to be always dwelling upon that weakness and poverty, and to forget that our strength does not lie there, nor are our riches to be found within o…

Our Lord’s Triumphant Ascension

Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1890

The hill of Zion had been taken out of the hand of the Jebusites. They had held it long after the rest of the country had been subdued, but David, at last, had taken it from them. This was the mountain ordained of Jehovah of old to be the place of the temple.…

The Personal Pentecost and the Glorious Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 13, 1886

PENTECOST is repeated in the heart of every believer. Let me give you a little bit of historical analogy to illustrate the text. The Lord’s disciples were made to sorrow at His cross. Sore was the tribulation which came upon them as they thought upon His death…

Rahab

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 21, 1872

her. Paul puts her amongst the great worthies who by faith wrought wonders. The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is a triumphal arch to the soldiers of faith, and amongst the illustrious names inscribed thereon is the name of this harlot of Jericho.

God’s Glory Our Rereward

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 21, 1907

THE church of God is an army marching through an enemy’s territory. She can never reckon upon a moment’s peace. If she were of the world, the world would love its own, but because true saints are not of the world, but Christ has chosen them out of the world, t…

Or Vainglory Rebuked

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 5, 1866

AND what of that? Was it not the most natural thing in all the world to do? Who among us would not have shown the strangers over our house, and our garden, and our library, and have pointed out to them any little treasures and curiosities which we might happen…

“Rest in the Lord”

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 14, 1877

THE occurrence of our text in the Psalm before us is an instance of the great rule that the Lord does nothing by halves. In this priceless Psalm, the Lord found His servant in the first verse liable to fretfulness and envy, and He exhorted him to cease from fr…

Secondhand

Charles Spurgeon • May 28, 1899

I EXPLAINED this morning, [Sermon #1644, “Our Lord’s First Appearance before Pilate”] why our Savior put that question to Pilate. The Roman governor had asked Him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” And Jesus as good as said to him, “Have you, of your own knowle…

Essential Points in Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 20, 1889

BELOVED friends, it was an exceedingly encouraging thing to Solomon that the Lord should appear to him before the beginning of his great work of building the temple. See in the third chapter of this First Book of the Kings, at the fifth verse, “In Gibeon the L…

On Laying Foundations

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 21, 1883

THESE parables describe two classes of hearers, but they say nothing of those who are not hearers.

A Fear to Be Desired

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 19, 1902

THIS passage refers in the first place to the Jews. If we read the whole verse, and the preceding one, we shall see that they describe the present sad condition of God’s ancient people, and inspire us with hope concerning their future, “For the children of Isr…

Manoah’s Wife and Her Excellent Argument

Charles Spurgeon

THE first remark arising out of the story of Manoah and his wife is this—that oftentimes we pray for blessings which will make us tremble when we receive them. Manoah had asked that he might see the angel, and he saw Him. In answer to his request, the wonderfu…

The Priest Ordained by the Oath of God

Charles Spurgeon • May 1, 1881

THOSE of you who read Scripture carefully will have noticed that the word, “better,” is one of the key words of the Epistle to the Hebrews. You are constantly meeting with it. In the opening chapter we read that our Lord Jesus Christ is “made so much better th…

The Judgment Seat of God

Charles Spurgeon • May 29, 1881

NO doubt there is an error in our version, for where in the tenth verse we read, “The judgment seat of Christ,” it should be, “The judgment seat of God .” I suppose the word “Christ” slipped into certain manuscripts because Paul had been speaking of Christ and…

The Amen

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 4, 1866

THE word “Amen” is much more full of meaning than may be supposed, and as a title of our Lord Jesus Christ it is eminently suggestive. As you know the word is a Hebrew one which has been very properly conveyed not only into our language, but into most, if not…

David's Holy Wonder at the Lord’s Great Goodness

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 19, 1867

YOU will observe in reading this Psalm that David was in deep distress. These are the words of his lamentation, “My life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. I was a reproach a…

A Happy Christian

Charles Spurgeon

IT is very important that our preaching should sometimes give descriptions of Christians in an unhealthy and sickly state. So many are in this condition that, when we describe their symptoms, they may discover themselves, and by divine grace be led to desire e…

Obedience Rewarded

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 27, 1893

THESE holy women, these consecrated Maries, shall be our instructors tonight. They werehighlyfavored to be the first witnesses for our risen Lord. Do you wonder why He chose them? Was it because their hearts were tender and they were very sad at His death, mor…
