The works of Charles Spurgeon have inspired millions of Christians around the world for over a hundred years. His wisdom and insight into God’s Word and world have helped others discover the richness of Scripture. Answers in Genesis is pleased to present the text of a large collection of sermons from this 19th century “Prince of Preachers.”
In our two texts there are three “alls” rising from each other, the first leading to the second, and the second conducting to the third.
During the waiting period, the wise and foolish virgins seemed very much alike, even as at this day one can hardly discern the false professor from the true.
Brethren, whenever we come to talk about the passion of our Lord, our feelings should be deeply solemn, and our attention intensely earnest.
No great painter would ever venture to give us a portrait of our Lord with his head and his hair “white like wool, as white as snow.”
It will be a source of eternal gratitude to you, my dear friend, if your afflictions should make you think of your conduct towards Christ.
I have already said that I conceive our Lord Jesus Christ to have regarded the destruction of Jerusalem as “the beginning of the end.”
Here is a man who is, in a legal sense, clean before God, and he is carrying a holy thing in his skirts, but he does not therefore make what he touches to be clean or holy.
To bear infirmity is not difficult when the spirit is sound and strong: “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity.”
I do not think there is any part of Matthew’s Gospel that touched him more than this story of divine love for himself, and of how he himself was called to be a disciple of Christ.
The Apostle Paul said, “I am, — yes, I am persuaded that nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This is a very terrible Psalm. It contains some prayers against the enemies of God and of his people that crash with the thunder of indignation.
May God save the man to whom a calm itself becomes more dangerous than a tempest!
As soon as David has recovered his health and strength, the holy instincts of the man lead him to praise the Lord.
If there is one subject more than another on which I wish always to speak, it is the love of Christ.
Friends, we wish to be treated as God treats all the rest of his children; I am sure that every humble believer will be quite content with that arrangement.

Probably neither Matthew, nor Mark, nor Luke, nor John would have told us that they called Jesus “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” if he had not repeated it himself.
The apostle Paul, in his writings, is notable for the fact that he scarcely ever mentions the name of the Lord Jesus Christ without pausing to praise and bless him.
What an inexhaustible fulness there is in Christ! He can bless, and bless, and bless, and bless, and still remain as full of blessing as ever.
We learn from this chapter, dear friends, that our Master was tired of battling with hypocrites and formalists, and therefore withdrew himself from them.
Our end must be destruction if our life is not fruitful. This gives a very solemn importance to our lives, and it should make each of us seriously ask, “Am I producing fruit for God?”
You may apply the microscope to Christ, and the more closely you look, the more you will be amazed, and astonished, and filled with delight.
Christ on the cross saves us when he becomes to us Christ in the heart. It is of little use for us to know of Christ if we do not really trust and love him.
These sermons from Charles Spurgeon are a series that is for reference and not necessarily a position of Answers in Genesis. Spurgeon did not entirely agree with six days of creation and dives into subjects that are beyond the AiG focus (e.g., Calvinism vs. Arminianism, modes of baptism, and so on).
