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.”
The caring for the flesh sours the soul against God, so that he who cares for the flesh is soon filled with enmity against God.
He opens his mouth, and speaks to you. You will open your ear, and listen to him, if you are indeed his own.

This narrative illustrates the rise and progress of faith in the soul. May it become even stronger in us than it was in this nobleman.
It is a grand thing to know what we are living for, and to live for a worthy object with the undivided energy of our being.
The godly must die, even as others. Though our life is perfectly consecrated, yet it cannot for ever be continued in this world.
God was pleased to dwell in type and symbol among his people, in the very centre and heart of their camp.
Our chief source of rejoicing is the presence of King Jesus in the midst of us. Whether it is his first or his second advent, his very shadow is delight.
“Behold, he prays” is a better witness of a man’s conversion than, “Behold, he sings,” or, “Behold, he reads the Scripture,” or, “Behold, he preaches.”
Oh men, your tendency is to boast in something; your wisdom will be to find a boast worthy of an immortal mind.
