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.”
Should we omit praise any more than we omit prayer? And should not praise come daily and as many times in the day as prayer does?
You see the Lord endeavoured to use the lower expression as a ladder to something higher and more spiritual.
That joy should be made a duty is a sure sign of the blessed New Covenant. Because Jesus has suffered, we are encouraged, commanded, and enabled to rejoice.
Let us pray for men that they may be saved. Simple as the statement is, I feel sure that we shall see more conversions when more people pray for conversions.
He who composes short and striking summaries of gospel truth may be working as effectively for the salvation of men as another who delivers earnest, pleading discourses.
While we hold firm the profession of our faith, the blessed truths of that faith may also hold us firm as an anchor holds a ship!
From nine until noon the usual degree of light was present; so that there was enough time for our Lord’s adversaries to behold and insult his sufferings.
Concentrate your thoughts upon this wonderful theme, to which I trust you are no strangers; for you live in that love, and it is the joy of your hearts.
Paul never hesitates; he has a divine Saviour and a divine redemption, and he preaches these with unwavering confidence. Oh that all preachers were like him!
His meek and lowly heart could only have been stirred with anger by some overwhelming cause. We are sure that he did well to be angry.
We come at last to feel that the desires of our heart are inspired by his Spirit, and then that we have the petitions which we have asked from him.
There is an end appointed by the Most High, and it will surely come: then the seasons will melt into the endless age, and time shall be promoted into eternity.
After the closing supper, his public preaching work being ended, and nothing remaining to be done except to die, he gave himself entirely to prayer.
No theme can excel in value and excellence than that of the precious blood of Jesus.
We have come to the blood of sprinkling which has fallen upon a covenant which never shall be broken.
Does it astonish you that a man so rich in grace as Paul should be asking for the prayers of these unknown saints?
The rod of chastisement is included in the covenant; and if we are in the covenant, the Lord will keep his promise.
The church will be false to her heavenly Bridegroom if she does not sympathise with the tenderness of his heart, and enter into his gracious labour of love.
Beloved friends, I say to you, as David said to the princes of Israel, “Seek the Lord your God.”
The same hand that bought you must keep you; and the same Father, who has begotten you again to a lively hope, must keep you to his eternal kingdom and glory.
Brethren, the best advice that I can give to each man among you is, that he should endeavour to make the best of the portion which God has given him.
I do not think that the speciality about the thief is the lateness of his repentance. Far from being the only point of interest, it is not even the chief point.
The ripest apple in the garden grows on the tree of contentment. The garments which fit us best are the most fit for us, and are the most comfortable to wear.
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law.
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).
