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.”
The love that brought him here would have kept him here if everything necessary for our salvation had not been finished.
If we, at any time, should seem cast off from Christ as well as cast out by proud religionists, he will find us when we cannot find him. Blessed be his name!
A sign of a man’s wisdom is his knowledge of his ignorance. Notice the clean heart always mourns its uncleanness, and the wise man always laments his folly?
When we know our death, we have in measure begun to live; we should be eager that our life should leave the sepulchre of doubt and enjoy the light of joy.
There is no food for bodies in the shank-bone, nor food for souls in the modern theology; but in Christ crucified there is every help that a soul can want.

Christ must be in us before he can be on us. Grace puts Christ within, and enables us to put on Christ without.
The Lord’s own Supper is a joyful festival, a feast of fat things, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
We ought not to pray so much against sickness, or trial, or temptation, or even against death itself, as against sin.
Here was genuine love in the heart of Christ towards this woman, and genuine faith in her heart towards Christ.
The greatest barrier between believers and heaven has been safely passed.
Love certainly is a duty, but it does not come to us that way: it comes to us like a roe or a young hart, over every mountain and hill, leaping and bounding.
Observe that this woman had performed a good work — good in intent, and good in itself. Her Lord said so, and his verdict ends all debate.
Though the ancient people have been scattered, yet every Israelite may put down his foot with joyful tread, and say, “No, Israel, you shall never perish!”
May God grant that any superstition which has kept you back may be removed; and may this be the set time, the hour of grace for your souls!
Some people are deaf to the voice of justice until it is repeated loudly by thousands of their fellow men.
There are different ways of replying to the invitation of the gospel when you intend to refuse it.
