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 gospel of John is peculiarly the history of Jesus, the Son of God.
Some men of little faith are perpetually enshrouded with fears; their faith seems only strong enough to enable them to doubt.
There are many men in this world, who so far from coming to God, are going as far as they can from him.
God has so made men, that there are two things essential for their comfort, if not for their very existence, namely, sleep and clothing.
It is the duty of all men to be careful with the sons of sorrow. There are some who from their very birth are marked by Melancholy as her own.

Now, humble Christians are often the dupes of a very foolish error.
The wonders that God does in the heart of man, each of them finds a parallel, a picture, a metaphor, an illustration, in the wonders which God performs in providence.
There are two sins of man that are bred in the bone, and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exaltation.
Is it not very grateful to observe, that what is just in one part of Scripture presented to us as a matter of faith, is in another place stated as a matter of fact?
I have selected this text, or, rather, it has been given to me to furnish a motto for the whole year to all the believing family of God now present.
The church on earth has, and until the second advent must be, the church militant, the church armed, the church warring, the church conquering.
When the gospel comes to us it does not find us loving God, it does not expect anything from us.
God’s people are always safe. Nothing can harm the man who has made his refuge in God.
Hear then, oh you who are strangers to the truth as it is in Jesus—hear then the message that I have to bring to you.

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).
