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.”
While it stands as a rock apart, this gracious word is far from being the only one in the book of the prophet Hosea.
It has been a very solemn business for the Jewish nation. The history of the Jews, since their rejection of our Lord, may be written in blood and tears.
Scarcely anything has been more injurious to the kingdom of Christ than the distinction between clergy and laity.
Hear it, oh men! Because you have sinned, Jesus dies so that you may be cleared from your sin.
Eyes that have wept over our own sin will always be most ready to weep over the sins of others.
In our text we have the test question which must be asked of everyone who is to be admitted into the assembly of the Lord — “Whom do you say that I am?”
Without fruit the sower’s work would even seem to be insane, for he takes good wheat, throws it away, and loses it in the ground.
I am going to use the passage of the Jordan as our forefathers did, namely, as a type of our passage out of this world into the place appointed for our rest.
Do this, then. As often as you break the bread, and as often as you drink from the cup, remember the Lord Jesus.
Paul makes a foot-race an illustration of the Christian life. We must run with patience along the appointed course if we would win the prize of our high calling.
Oh, that it were so even now! May the house of Israel look on him whom they have pierced, and turn to him with all their hearts.
Peter was to be sifted, so our Lord warned him; and Satan was to operate with the sieve.
We must either deny ourselves, or we shall deny our Lord; if we cleave to self-confidence, we shall not cleave to him.
You can drive a better bargain at the mercy seat than in the world’s jangling markets. You will get more relief from the righteous Lord than from ungodly men.
The angel of the Lord opened the prison door and set free the preachers, but might not be a preacher himself.
David had thrown himself into the glad service of the Lord. It had been a high day, a day of days, such as the nation had not enjoyed in all its history before.
Moses is as much an example of faith as he is a representative of law. What he did was as much due to his faith as were the acts of Paul or John.
Our Lord loved us so much that he even condescended to bear scorn of the most cruel kind, so that he might take away our shame and enable us to look up to God.
Just as the heart naturally baffles all physicians, so spiritually it is far beyond our knowledge. Who among ministers can guide you?
Men generally learn wisdom if they have wisdom. The artist’s eye sees the beauty of the landscape because he has beauty in his mind.
If you are in a sad condition, your best hopes may lie this way. What if God has entered into covenant with you that he will bless you for Jesus Christ’s sake?
How long must you go on with your pitiful prayers, and get no answer? Must you have more tears, more groans, more despairs, more regrets, more broken vows?
Holy fear spreads few banquets, but it takes care that when there is a feast we go to it in a wedding garment.
Friends, may you read the Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ as a testament of love to you, and then you will prize it beyond all the writings of the sages.
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).
