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.”
God’s promises are not exhausted by one fulfilment. They are manifold mercies.
How absolutely necessary is the presence and power of the Holy Spirit! It is not possible for us to promote the glory of God or to bless the souls of men, unless the Holy Spirit be in us and with us.
A moment’s contemplation would suffice to arouse any man to the terror of the position involved in being at war with God.
This is a petition for men already pardoned, for those who know their adoption, for those who love the Lord and desire to see his kingdom come.
We might gain much solace by considering what God has not said. What he has said is inexpressibly full of comfort and delight; what he has not said is scarcely less rich in consolation.
The apostle attributes to God alone his singular preservation.
In most large houses we shall find humanity in all its stages. We shall see the infant, in his cradle; children laughing in their play, young men working with vigour, and the old man resting in peace.
It has been my anxious desire to gather in, and draw to shore the Much-Afraids, the Fearings, the Despondencies and those of Little-Faith.

The apostles never travelled far from the simple facts of Christ’s life, death, resurrection, ascension, exaltation, and second advent.
The passion of jealousy in man is usually exercised in an evil manner, but it is not in itself necessarily sinful.
This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fulness is a true Master in divinity.
It is certainly a very delightful thing to notice the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints.
The Mosaic law attached great importance to meats and drinks: the Christian religion attaches none.
It seems fitting this morning to take a break so that we may catch our breath in our pilgrimage of sorrow, and be comforted by a view of the glory land to which the thorny pathway leads.
Come here, you lovers of Emmanuel, and I will show you this great sight — the King of sorrow marching to his throne of grief, the cross.
There must be new songs on new occasions of triumph. It would have been absurd for Miriam with her timbrel to conduct the music of the daughters of Israel to some old sonnet learned in Egypt.
Spurgeon Sermon 495. The Greatest Trial on Record, delivered on Sunday Morning, February 22, 1863, by Pastor C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.
When Satan had been entirely worsted in his conflict with Christ in the garden, the man-devil Judas came upon the scene.
Few had fellowship with the sorrows of Gethsemane. The majority of the disciples were not there. They were not sufficiently advanced in grace to be admitted to behold the mysteries of “the agony.”
I think it best to occupy our time this morning with an exhortation to those who are wayward.
The character of God is the refuge of the Christian, in opposition to other refuges which godless men have chosen.
There must be something very solemn, and at the same time something very delightful, in the uttered consent of a multitude of people to the will and law of Christ.
Satan has multitudes of faithful servants only too glad to engage in battle against the Lord’s anointed, and against the Church which he has redeemed by his own blood.
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).
