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.”
Would you become spiritually wise? Come and hear what the Spirit of God has to say by the mouth of the wise man.
People who are very happy, especially those who are very happy in the Lord, are not apt either to give offence or to take offence.
John was the herald of Christ; he was to prepare the way for the coming King, but from this text it appears that he was to do more than that.
May God the Holy Spirit help us all sweetly to meditate on him of whom the psalmist speaks here!
When Christ came to the chosen people, they were in a most miserable condition, and there was no hope for them at all apart from the promised Messiah.
Darkness stands for the powers of evil, as light is the fitting symbol of the holiness of God, and of his infinite goodness and purifying grace.
God has messengers nowadays; and he still sends by them short, sharp, urgent, stimulating messages like this, “Escape for your life.”
Why does God remember and prize so highly the early piety of his people, their first faith, their first love, their first zeal?
God in Moses seemed to overcome God out of Moses. God in the Mediator—the Man Christ Jesus—appears to be stronger for mercy than God apart from the Mediator.
Christ has already accomplished enough to keep his redeemed amazed throughout all eternity with the splendour of the achievements of his grace.
The life of the Christian here is the triumphant life that is to be enjoyed hereafter, it is one and the same life so far as its real nature is concerned.
It is good to go and mix with others, and openly worship God who delights to be worshipped like this.
To find love, you need to send a lover; one whose soul is full of love is the most likely to discover it.
though there is no rest to be found in earthly things, yet we may have rest even while here, rest which drops from above.
‘Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son.’ It is an unheard-of thing, it is a miraculous thing, and therefore it must be a Godlike thing.
God is a wall and a well to his people—a wall to guard them from their adversaries, and a well to supply all their needs out of his overflowing fulness.
The burial was Pilate’s certificate that Christ had not pretended to die, but that it was a real death, and that his body had no life remaining in it.
David began to experience divine guidance while he was a shepherd, and it was good for him that it was so; but why did he ever feel that he needed a guide?
If you would understand regeneration, you must be born again. If you would understand faith, simple as it is, you must yourselves believe.
The Lord has a very particular care for his own people. Child of God, your Father’s eye is lovingly fixed on you; his heart cares for you every moment.
These two doctrines of salvation by faith and the inward drawing of the Spirit of God are equally true and should be proclaimed in due proportion.
The proper way for a sinner to be brought to God is, for God to speak to him, and for him to hear. Manasseh would not come that way.
