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.”
Christ declares that he, and he only, is the way to peace with God, to pardon, to righteousness, and to heaven.
Certainly true religion must begin at home. It should be a reason for great joy for us if we have Jesus Christ as our own.
We are to love our neighbour as ourselves, but we are to love our fellow Christians as Christ loved us, and that is far more than we love ourselves.
God gives us many precepts, and every precept in God’s Word is a sign-post pointing out the road to joy.
God deliver us from having an exclusively respectable congregation! I like to see men of all classes.
Every believer is truly dead to sin, because Christ has died to sin, just as every believer is truly alive to God, because Christ is alive to God.
Men who believe themselves to be saved by their own good works generally have something harsh and evil to say against God’s grace.
The most dangerous place in the world is the place which is supposed to be beyond the reach of temptation.
You are being led along a rough road, and being tried and instructed, in order that you may be the means of helping others.
Turn now, oh believer, and sing a paean of triumph. “The sting of death is sin.” Through Jesus Christ that is forgiven.
If any man shall go through this world with his eyes shut, believing all that he hears, he will find himself the dupe of a thousand knaves.
Let us put aside our service for a while. I am afraid that even those who are busy in the Master’s work overlook the necessity for love to be at leisure.
Brethren, we may forget the past, but God does not. He says, “I remember you, the kindness of your youth.” The Lord remembers what he has done for us, and he expects a return.
You may doubt if on former occasions you have found God unfaithful to his promise.
Our subject, which is “Restraining grace,” the grace which God sends to prevent saints and sinners from running into sin.
First, they asked for help, expressing their confidence. If we begin by doubting, our prayer will limp.
Wherever God comes out in his great mercy his name alone is exalted.
The healing of natural sickness is not accomplished without the power of God.
Truth is never dangerous, it is error and reticence that are fraught with peril.
First, let us look at our great Master’s claim, “I am the good shepherd.” Then we shall observe the proof for it.
First, then, brethren, our text contains a summary of Christian life. It is “well doing.”
Most of the saints have passed through gladly. They have entered the gates with a cheery note, with a song, or with a Hallelujah.
We have preached the righteousness of God; and we lay a firm foundation on which to build the comfort and hope of the believer in Christ Jesus.
The Infinite became finite; the Almighty consented to become weak; he, who spoke all worlds into existence, resigned for a while even the power of speech.
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).
