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 who can talk about the grave and about the hereafter with such intelligence, thoughtfulness, faith, and strong desire as Paul did, is a man to be envied.
Our prayers never are intrusions. Whenever we go before God in deep distress, he is always ready to listen to our cry.
The “one thing” concerning which I am now about to talk very seriously to you will require three texts to explain it.
We are placed in a world in which there is nothing that is friendly to grace, but everything that is opposed to the spiritual life.
John the Baptist, whom all men considered a prophet, had testified that Christ was the true light who enlightens every man that comes into the world.
David in the caverns of Adullam is a type of our Lord Jesus Christ despised and rejected among the sons of men.
The mission of Christ to our world was distinct and definite. The ministry of the gospel should be equally clear and transparent.
The New Testament teems with allusions to that Day of Judgment, when the Lord shall be revealed, that Paul had no need to say anything except “that day.”
Let us make the reflection our own, as we humbly bow at the dear pierced feet of our Lord, and remember how cruelly we slighted our kindest friend.
How delightful it is to observe that the wrath of man becomes tributary to the glory of God!
Those whom God has chosen to be his sheep shall be sought out, rescued from their danger, and numbered with the living people of the living God.
Beware of the sin which is of your own choosing. I may say, beware of all sin, for in a measure it is deliberate, and of your own choosing.
Let me remind you that there are occasions in the Christian life when a man is bound to give up all his comforts for Christ’s sake.
While all the rest of the world was in heathendom, the light shone brightly in Abraham’s tent.
This is a pointed question, which demands a personal answer and should, therefore, stir up full and frequent self-examination.
Ah! brethren, there are some men who can make great sacrifices for God; they have done so, and in this they have emulated the example of Abraham.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is a place of secure refuge for every soul that flees to him. The moment a sinner believes in Jesus he is safe.
When men’s minds are pure, other matters become pure to them, but when their minds are impure then they use these things for impurity.
Here is an offering of the noblest life, a shedding of the richest blood that ever was poured out on the altar at Jerusalem.
The blessing promised here is one of the most essential that men can require, or that God can give.
The gospel of Jesus Christ was not intended for one century or two, but for all time. After all, men’s hearts have not altered.
Sympathy is a duty of manhood. We are all brethren sprung from the same stock, and what is a good thing for any man ought to be a joy to me.
We believe it will be fair to say that there are two high spiritual forms of love and jealousy, and that our text is lucid in its description of both.
Do not let the missionary be afraid, even if for thousands of years to come there should be little apparent success to the preaching of the gospel.
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).
