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.”
Of our Lord Jesus Christ we can truly say, “He is our peace.” It is through him that “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,” keeps our heart and mind always at rest.
Since our heirship with God depends on our being the children of God, it does not depend on our natural descent.
Oh, that Christians would adhere as closely to each other as sinners do, and walk in friendship and love!
It was because of his love that the Father gave his Son; it was not the Son who came to make that love possible.
Do we, if we are called the saints of the Lord, need to be exhorted to love him? If we do, shame on us!
Brother, never be satisfied with yourself, for self-satisfaction is the end of all progress.
It is often the wisest way to relieve minds that are swollen through grief to allow them to find the natural conclusion of their sorrow by asking them why they are weeping.
To know your blindness is good, but it is not enough. It would be a dreadful thing for you to go from an awakened conscience on earth to a tormenting conscience in hell.
We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination, — the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people for eternal life.
In the deepest meaning of the word, no one ever truly sees Christ until the Holy Spirit opens his eyes.
There have been special cases in Scripture where the putting of a person into an unpleasant condition has been a great blessing to his fellow men.
The remission of sin, which God gives to his people, is complete; that is to say, it wipes out all his sins, whatever they may have been.
Shut your ear to God, and he will shut his ear to you; but incline your ear, and come to him, and, sinner as you are, your soul shall live, for God will hear you.
Jesus Christ blesses his people, not as the priest who is offering sacrifice, but as the one who has offered it.
It is a calamity for the Church of Christ when her best men, whether ministers or deacons, are called home; yet it often that God takes his servants home when they are most useful.
Just as this sunrise of Christ in our heart is divine, so likewise it is irresistible. No curtains can conceal the sun from the world when it starts to rise.
I have often said that home-made troubles are like home-made clothes, — they seldom fit, and they are likely to last a very long while.
When our Lord Jesus Christ is with us, rough roads grow smooth; but when he is absent, smooth roads grow rough.
We constantly restrain prayer by not having our hearts in a proper state when we come to its exercise.
Christ’s sacrifice is complete and perfect. We would not wish to show it to others if it were not worthy of being looked at.
Oh, surely, if the children of earth sing, the children of heaven ought to sing far more often, far more loudly, far more harmoniously than they do.
Do not imagine that Christ’s reign is limited to these gates of pearl and streets of shining gold. Far from it, for Jesus reigns today on earth.
I do not wonder that there was a stir in the city when we reflect that all Christ’s disciples were that day in a very lively state.
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).
