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.”
If the Lord forgives us our debt of ten thousand talents, we must be willing to forgive our fellow servant his debt of a hundred pence.
Faith takes a bright and cheerful view of matters, and speaks very confidently, “I shall not die, but live.”
When you give God an inch, he will give you a mile. If you come a little way to him, when you are “yet a great way off” he will run to meet you.
The burden of my sermon is concerning men and women who are living now, and to whom I may truthfully say, “The word of the Lord is against you.”

John was the beloved disciple, the choicest spirit of the twelve, the one nearest to the heart of Christ.
Man’s chief end is to glorify and enjoy God. God’s greatest and highest object is to make for himself a glorious and an everlasting name.

The larger the responsibility, the more necessary it is to have men who can be depended on to manage the business.
Every Christian man is a soldier, and no man will war a good warfare unless he lays hold upon eternal life with all his heart and soul.
One of the most necessary words for us to hear at such a time as this, “Arise, and depart; for this is not your rest.”
If you go to Jesus Christ for anything, the Saviour will earnestly desire that you should know what it is that you are asking from him.
Just as God dealt with Abraham, so he will deal in measure with all those who, as believers, are the children of believing Abraham.
God has made great use of women, and greatly honoured them in the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We must be saved if we would serve the Lord. We cannot serve God in an unsaved condition.
Every man seems to have a different idol. One has pride: he is so wonderfully good, so self-righteous; he has never done anything wrong.
The essence of true divinity is greatening God, magnifying him, and enlarging our conceptions of his majesty and his glory to the utmost degree.
In going out to our holy service we take with us no strength, and we rely on no power, except that of the Spirit of the Most High.
May we become sharers in the courage and faith of these men, whose names stand high on the roll of worthies in the kingdom of God!
Our blessed Master will not desert the people in their spiritual need, any more than he failed that hungry throng, in their temporal need, long ago.
If we desire the good of our servants, our children, and our friends, let us take care that we make supplication for them.
