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.”
Faith is not only the door by which we enter into the way of salvation, but it likewise describes the entire path of Christian pilgrimage.
Unbelief is akin to Atheism. Atheism denies God’s existence—unbelief denies his goodness, and since goodness is essential to God, these doubts do, in reality, stab at his very being.
After the Jewish people had been thoroughly cured of their idolatrous tendencies by their seventy years of captivity, they fell into another evil.
It is easy to commit sin, but hard to confess it. Man will transgress without a tempter; but even when urged by the most earnest pleader, he will not acknowledge his guilt.
The things which are seen are types of the things which are not seen. The works of creation are pictures to the children of God of the secret mysteries of grace.
The promises of God are to the believer an inexhaustible mine of wealth. Happy is he if he knows how to search out their secret veins and enrich himself with their hidden treasures.
We believe that there is one God, and although we rejoice to recognise the Trinity, yet it is always most distinctly a Trinity in Unity.
Those men prosper who do their work with all their hearts, while those are almost certain to fail who go to their labour leaving half their hearts behind them.
Once more the Lord has spoken. Once again the voice of Providence has proclaimed “All flesh is grass, and all its goodness is as the flower of grass.”
Observe the sweet titles with which Christ the husband addresses his Church the bride.
We must begin by noticing the parallel which the apostle draws here.
Pride is most obnoxious to God. As a sin, his holiness hates it; as a treason, his sovereignty detests it; as a rebellion, all of his attributes stand leagued to put it down.
No one precept contains all of a believers duty; but usually in Scripture, the precepts rise one above the other, like those stone steps by which the traveller in Egypt ascends to the pinnacle of the
Behold, beloved, our perpetual dangers. Where can we go to escape from peril? Where shall we flee to avoid temptation?
We have nothing to do this morning with the question of moral evil, and indeed we have nothing to do at any time with the awful mystery of the origin of moral evil.
The Christian is a very complex being. He is a compound of the fallen and of the perfect. He detects in himself continually an alternation between the almost diabolical and the divine.
Excuse me, brethren, if I find it imperative to address you from my selected text, and to turn your mind to subjects of another kind.
Now we frequently have, as Matthew Henry very tritely remarks, a number of good and affectionate but very weak minded hearers.
He who would have perfect blessedness, as far as it can be enjoyed on earth, must labour to attain to this seventh benediction, and become a peacemaker.
My brethren, I wish to have you attentively observe the extraordinary clarity, power, and sharpness of the Saviour’s mind in the last agonies of death.
Faith knows how, when sceptical kites, when blaspheming vultures, when speculative eagles, come down to attack the sacrifice of Christ, to chase them away with only a puff of her breath.
Satan, who is called by various names in the Scriptures, all descriptive of his bad qualities, was once an angel of God, perhaps one of the chief among the fiery ones.
This notable text shall teach us two lessons this morning. Its first utterance shall be concerning providence, and its second, concerning the life of grace in the heart.
In itself it is not considered a bad thing to be at ease; indeed it is a great blessing to be at ease in Zion in the healthy sense and meaning of that word.
These sermons from Charles Spurgeon are a series that is for reference and not necessarily a position of Answers in Genesis.
