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.”
We take death and the grave in transit now: they do not hinder our advance to glory, and immortality, and eternal life.
Even to the cries of his own elect, who cry day and night to him—he is not in haste to answer—for he is very patient, slow to anger, and plentiful in mercy.
Make sure that you have found the Saviour. Eat and drink of him; enrich yourself with him; and then go and proclaim the glad news.
It can only be supreme love which leads wisdom to seek after the heart of such poor things as we are.
It was fitting that he should close the service of his life in which he had preached peace, by pronouncing this as his closing benediction.
I think that this staying of Abram to defend the sacrifice when the ravenous birds came down upon it may be used as a lesson for us in three respects.

It is noteworthy that God always selects our congregations for us, and his arrangements are always wise.
When a man gives you a promise, and he keeps it, that is the end of the promise; but it is not so with God.
We praise him because he is in himself a king, and next, because he is a king-maker, the fountain of honour and majesty.
We see Jesus and salvation where the carnal eye sees only a slaughtered lamb, and a people saved from death.
For this purpose we were born, and for this end we have come into the world, so that we may bear witness to the Lord Jesus Christ.
To have fellowship with God is a great matter; but merely to say that we have fellowship with him is a totally different thing.
The Lord knows those who are his, and from that perfect knowledge he draws this short but sufficient outline of the character of his own.
Hardness of heart is a great and grievous evil. It exists not only in the outside world, but in many who frequent the courts of the Lord’s house.
“My soul cleaves to the dust” might be the confession of every man. We bear the image of the first Adam, who was of the earth earthy: earthy enough are we.
In the love of Christ we find our best joy. The pastures of the Great Shepherd are wide, but the sweetest grasses grow close to his pierced feet.
It is said that wise men only wonder once, and that is always; fools never wonder, because they are fools.
The possession of gladness is no clear evidence of grace; and the existence of depression is no sure sign of insincerity.
I feel as if we were interviewing Paul tonight—as if we were sitting in a room with him, and Silas, and Timothy, and were hearing their private conversation.
We are not ordained to be saved apart from faith, but those who are predestinated to eternal life are ordained to receive it through faith in Christ Jesus.

These sermons from Charles Spurgeon are a series that is for reference and not necessarily a position of Answers in Genesis.
