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.”

In Jesus Christ we see gentleness, meekness, and the most tender affection, and we see the most hearty sympathy with everything that belongs to manhood.
While salvation becomes our own by an act of faith, it is not our own so that we can claim any merit or take any part of the glorying for ourselves.
Oh! that every labouring, weary sinner here might at once come to Jesus and find that rest which the Saviour expresses himself as so willing to give!
I do not think we can too often explain the meaning of the two great Christian ordinances—baptism and the Supper of the Lord.
In these two texts we have man’s covering, which is worthless and culpable, and God’s covering, which is profitable, and worthy of all acceptance.
The way to liberate our souls from the bonds that tie us to earth is to strengthen the cords that bind us to heaven.
Since Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, we may conclude that the way in which God dealt with him is very much the way in which he would deal with us.
