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.”

Sleep is the gift of God; and not a man would close his eyes, if God did not put his fingers on his eyelids; nor the Almighty send a soft and balmy influence over his frame which lulled his thoughts i
