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.”
He loves much, and therefore he never judges harshly. He loves much, and therefore he always judges jealously. Jealousy is the sure attendant of such love as his.
Have you calculated what baneful influences are streaming from your lives upon the souls of your children, your wives, your brothers, your friends?
When men are convinced against their wills, when the heart struggles against the head, it usually happens that they turn persecutors.
We cannot draw near to the Most High except along the blood-sprinkled way of sacrifice. Our way to God lies only through the sacrifice of his Son.
I admire the wisdom of Job, that he does not shirk the subject of death, but dwells on it as an appropriate topic.
As the laver at the Tabernacle door, so stands this promise at the entrance of the covenant. Let us wash and be clean.
Our faith is in his first advent, our hope is in his second advent. If in him we sleep we shall in him awaken from the dead to live for ever in his glory.
Free will by itself ruins men; but free will guided by free grace is another matter. Lead free will captive to free grace and then it is freer than ever; and yet the will of the Lord is done.
Nothing so confounds the evil one as the voice of the Eternal. Our Lord himself defeated Satan by the word of the Lord; and the prophet Haggai did the same.
Believers are in a state of conflict, but not in a state of condemnation, and that at the very time when the conflict is hottest the believer is still justified.
Are not idle Christians starving the multitude by refusing to hand out the bread of life? Is this not a grievous sin?
We are either going to God or from God, and by this we may forecast our everlasting destiny.
The master-magnet of the gospel is not fear, but love. Penitents are drawn to Christ rather than driven.
Ignorance is a wretched foundation, but sure knowledge is like a rock.
I feel it more than ever necessary to keep close to the simplicities of the gospel, following the beaten road of the first principles of the faith.
Jesus tells us that defilement is caused by what comes out of the man, not by what goes into him. Defilement is of the heart, and not of the hands.
The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ.
May your conversations and your lives be full of the Lord Jesus Christ, so men may take knowledge of you, that you have been with him and have learned from him.
It is one thing to call yourself a sinner, and quite another thing to feel it.
If he is gracious enough to forgive our sins, it can be done; for every arrangement is already made to accomplish it.
We cannot tell what God may make of us in the new creation, since it would have been quite impossible to have foretold what he made of chaos in the old creation.
When all your own strength fails your strength shall be to sit still while God arises and becomes your arm every morning, your salvation in the time of trouble.
The history of our Lord is the foreshadowing of the experience of all his people; what happens to the First-born befalls in measure to all the brethren.
The story of four leprous men inserted in the book of the Kings of Israel: is it not exceptional? No; it is not exceptional for the Bible.
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).
