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, indeed, the Lord is our refuge and strength, we are entitled to seek after a spirit which shall bear us above the dreads of common men.
It was the fault of the Pharisee that when he went up to the temple to pray he forgot an essential part of prayer, which is confession of sin.

In what state of heart should we come to the communion table? It is no light matter: in what manner shall we come before the Lord in so sacred an ordinance?
Let us not be satisfied to utter the language of complaint; but let us get rid of the evils which we deplore. If we have been wrong, let us labour to be right.
It would not have been amazing if the whole ten had hurried back, and fallen at Jesus’ feet, and lifted up their voices in a tenfold psalm.
A genuine fragment of inspired Scripture has been dropped by our older translators, and it is too precious to be lost.
This was spoken by the prophet concerning Tyre, that great mercantile city where all the commerce of the East found its outlet towards the West.
Obedience must have love for its mother, nurse, and food. The essence of obedience lies in the hearty love which prompts the deed rather than in the deed itself.

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).
