Ziklag–or David Encouraging Himself in God

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 26, 1881

WE ought to be deeply grateful to God for the inspired history of the life of His servant, David. It was a great life, a vigorous life, a life spent in many positions and conditions. I almost rejoice that it was not a faultless life, for its failings and error…

Runaway Jonah, and the Convenient Ship

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 9, 1890

SAD sight! Here is a servant of God running away from his work . As well see the stars wandering from their spheres! When we read that he fled from the presence of God, we do not suppose that Jonah thought that he could get away from God as to His omnipresence…

The Sealing of the Spirit

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 19, 1876

I HAVE taken the whole passage for the sake of completing the sense, but I have no intention whatever of preaching upon all of it. Practically I only need for the topic of this morning the following words—“In whom also after that you believed, you were sealed…

Jesus, the Judge

Charles Spurgeon • May 25, 1879

You will notice throughout this short address by Peter how very careful he is to speak not at all upon his own authority, but wholly upon the authority of the Most High. He commences his conversation by saying that God had shown him that it would be right for…

“Supposing Him to Be the Gardener”

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 31, 1882

I WAS sitting, about a fortnight ago, in a very lovely garden, in the midst of all kinds of flowers which were blooming in delightful abundance all around. Screening myself from the heat of the sun under the overhanging boughs of an olive tree, I cast my eyes…

Renewing Strength

Charles Spurgeon

HUMAN strength is of many kinds, but in any form it will spend itself in due time. God can lend to men immense physical force, but though a man had the strength of a lion and an ox combined, he would one day fail. The force of flesh must fade like the grass to…

Exceeding Gladness

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 8, 1885

YOU have heard a great many sermons upon the Man of Sorrows. I am sure that you have not heard too many, and if, from this time to the end of your life, you should every Sabbath hear of Him, and of His sufferings, you will not be nauseated with that theme. You…

Special Protracted Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 1, 1868

IF any man of woman born might have lived without prayer it was surely the Lord Jesus Christ. To us poor weak erring mortals, prayer is an absolute necessity. But it does not at first sight seem to be so to Him who was “holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate…

Why Christ Is Not Esteemed

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 28, 1907

[One of the most prominent preachers of the so-called “New Theology” has recently given fresh currency to the old Jewish idea that Isaiah 53 applies to the prophet Jeremiah! The following sermons by C. H. Spurgeon, all upon various verses of this chapter, show…

Good Cheer for Many That Fear

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 25, 1903

THIS is an exhortation which is addressed, not to one person, but to several. In the third verse you can see that the message runs, “Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.” What, Lord! Is not one man sufficient for this task? Will not one…

God’s Desire for Us, and His Work in Us

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 18, 1915

WHAT a contrast is here and I think intended to be here! In the verse before this one, David describes human nature as it is in its original. He was shaped in iniquity and in sin did his mother conceive him. So that throughout his entire nature from the very f…

Timely Reflections

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 27, 1868

BUT what “salvation” is this? The question is important because we very commonly speak of “salvation” as that state of grace into which every one that believes in Jesus is introduced when he passes from death unto life, being delivered from the power of darkne…

Christ’s Sympathy with His People

Charles Spurgeon • May 26, 1904

THAT which is the most simple lesson the Gospel has to teach, is often the most difficult lesson for the Christian to learn. That simple lesson is that we must not look to ourselves for anything good, but that we must look to the Lord alone for all our righteo…

The Candle

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 24, 1881

OUR Savior was speaking of the influence of His disciples upon their fellow men and He, first of all, mentioned that secret but powerful influence which He describes under the figure of salt—“You are the salt of the earth.” No sooner is a man born unto God tha…

May I?

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 6, 1884

THE woman in the narrative was fully persuaded that if she did but touch our Lord’s garment she would be made whole. What she had heard and seen concerning Jesus made her sure of Hissuperabundant power to heal the sick. A touch would do it. Yes, even a touch o…

The Dumb Become Singers

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 12, 1912

WHAT a difference grace makes whenever it enters the heart! We find here the blind, but they are not blind in one sense, grace has touched their eyes, and the eyes of the blind are opened. Men are said to be deaf, but they are not deaf after grace has operated…

The New Song and the Old Story

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 24, 1903

THERE are mighty passions of the human soul which seek vent, and can get no relief until they find it in expression. Grief, acute, but silent, has often destroyed the mind, because it has not been able to weep itself away in tears. The glow of passion, fond of…

Pleading and Encouragement

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 17, 1884

SIN having a thorough possession of the human heart, entrenches itself within the soul, as one who has taken a stronghold speedily attends to the repairing of the breaches, and the strengthening of the walls, lest haply he should be dislodged. Among the most s…

Our Banner

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 15, 1906

MOST writers upon this Psalm, after having referred the banner to the kingdom of David, say that there is here a reference to the Messiah. We believe there is. Nor is that reference an obscure allusion. In the Lord Jesus we find the clue to the history and the…

A Challenge and War-Charge

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 30, 1905

THERE is little fear that the minister of this flock should forget that man is mortal. Where men are massed in such numbers, we not only believe in mortality, we see it. We hear the funeral knell like the striking of the clock—habitually. The mower has always…

A Private Inquiry

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 18, 1891

THE Lord would not speak directly to Eli, although he was the High Priest. In ordinarycircumstances it would have been so, but Eli had grieved the Lord, and thus had lost his honorable standing. God had not cast him off, but He viewed him with such displeasure…

Pardon for the Greatest Guilt

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1894

and 12-13 THIS story of Manasseh is a very valuable one. I feel sure of this, because you meet with it twice in the Word of God. It is a dreary story, a very dreary story, but the sad part of it is given twice in the Bible, while the consoling part of it is on…
