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 the second temple, during the time it should stand, the new covenant of Christ was softly melted into the light of spiritual truth.
We have here a metaphorical speech to show the impossibility of God’s forgetting us. “I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.”
Still the Father says to us concerning his well-beloved Son, “Hear him.”
If you would sum up the whole character of Christ in reference to ourselves, it might be gathered into this one sentence, “He was moved with compassion.”
It is very easy to understand how Jesus Christ is our friend. Did ever anyone deserve the name so well?
God has glorified his Son. How deeply we ought to regret that we glorify Christ so little, bought with his precious blood, owing all we have to him.
For many an age the light did not shine on heathen lands. Only one place on all the earth received the congenial beams of the Sun of Righteousness.
Whatever the statement of James may be, it could never have been his intention to contradict the gospel.
Is our love set on God? Search your hearts, for the question is very poignant.
Zeal is an attribute which is attributable to man; but we do not often think or speak of the zeal of the Lord of hosts.
The king himself crossed over the Brook Kidron. The royal road lies over the place of sorrow. The way, even for kings, is by the brook of grief and shame.
This chapter gives us a very delightful picture of the companionship and kindly communion which were kept up between our Saviour and his twelve disciples.
Let this bell ring, and there is a depth of silver sweetness in it which will make the sanctified ear and heart glad with the fulness of joy.
This text is a great deep, but at the outset we must say that we have neither the time nor the skill at this time to attempt to fathom it.
The Word became incarnate and stooped from the throne of heaven to the manger of Bethlehem’s stable.
The people of Israel had been hunted so much that they forgot the place where they once rested. The same remark may be made of some congregations.
As this text was originally written, it referred only to the length of life and the length of existence which God promised to his obedient Israel.
God is earnest in pleading with men to turn from their sins so that he may not be constrained to punish them, as he must do if they go on in their iniquities.
The proper study of the Christian is Christ. Next to that subject is the Church.
To those of you who have sunk into this distressing plight, my text contains a vigorous appeal. Let me try to interpret it.
In those churches which are not tied and bound by liturgies and rituals, it has been common to hold meetings for social prayer. We call them prayer meetings.
Here was very good reasoning. Jesus Christ had opened the eyes of the blind, could he not, therefore, have healed Lazarus of the disease which proved fatal?
Sin in a child of God is particularly sinful. Instead of its being a trifle, as some men seem to think, it is a very solemn matter indeed.
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).
