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.”
There is more eloquence in love than in all the words that the most clever rhetorician can ever put together.
Christ Jesus is God and man in one person, and thus the closest union is formed between God and man. God is not far from each one of us in his own dear Son.
The abundance of the revelation of God is usually joined with a thorn in the flesh either before or after it.
To illustrate the future intent of the blessed ordinance of the Lord’s Supper he must by necessity treat his death as an accomplished fact.
Oh, that you and I, after having explained the gospel, may always be able to relate something from our own experience which will prove it!
All human books grow stale after a time: but with the Word of God the desire to know increases, and the more you know about it the less you think you know.
Let us take care to blend a holy gratitude to God with our fervent patriotism. May it be ours to praise and bless the God who has sent us these favours.
The Spirit of God best knew what he meant by the words which he spoke by Moses. Even if Moses may not have meant the same, the Spirit’s own meaning must stand.
Moses’ reverence for the Lord’s name was deep; his devotion to the Lord’s cause was complete, and his confidence in the Lord’s word was constant.
Jeremiah plainly warned the people against expecting more than God had promised, and he aroused them to look for the fulfilment of what he had promised.
None of us has any idea how scanty our faith really is. When trial comes, the heap from the threshing-floor becomes very small beneath the winnowing fan.
When Jesus comes he will look for precious faith. He has more regard for faith than for anything else that earth can yield him.
The Father of the faithful was beyond all men “the Friend of God,” and the head of that chosen race of believers whom Jesus calls his friends.
We must not forget the lost sheep: it would be better that we left the ninety and nine than that we neglected the rambler.
Jesus’ disciples were to be in the position of servants put in trust with property while their master was gone away to receive a kingdom, and then to come again.
The glorious resurrection will abundantly repay us for all the toil and travail we may have to undergo in the battle for the Lord.
This is one of the most memorable of our Lord’s many visits to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. Each of these appearances had its own peculiarity.
We understand this sacred love song to be a Canticle of Communion between the Lord Jesus Christ and his church. He is the bridegroom, and she is the bride.
Hate of our Lord made his enemies forget humanity: doubtless the more of pain and shame which they could cause to him the better they would be pleased.
For a man to have force ready at hand, and then to abstain from using it, is a case of self-restraint, and possibly of self-sacrifice, of a far nobler kind.
Judgment is God’s strange work, and he rejoices even in the midst of threatening to turn aside and utter gracious words to obedient souls.
This may be used as a description of the believer’s life: he lives a life of salvation.
When the Lord found his chosen people to have rather the name than the character of his people, he spoke to them concerning the Spirit of the Lord.
The fact is, that unless changed by divine grace, we have all refused to pay to our great God the service which is due to him.
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).
