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.”
If we desire the Lord and seek him, he will be found by us. We seek him by coming to him as he is revealed in Christ Jesus, and trusting our souls with Jesus.
Our object shall be the strengthening of the hands that hang down, and the confirming of the feeble knees.
The doctrine of justification by faith through the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ is very much to my ministry what bread and salt are to the table.
Are you prepared, like Zacchaeus, to give the Lord Jesus Christ a glad and grateful welcome?
What is desirable to God must be extremely and essentially desirable. All wise men will desire what the infinitely wise God may desire.
How exquisitely pleasant is communion with our Lord Jesus Christ! and how supremely favoured are those who enjoy it!
My object here and now will be to stir up the people of God, and especially the members of this church, to abound greatly in prayer.
As many as are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God, and all who are the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
There is a wide difference between a dread of suffering for the wrong you have done, and a dread of doing wrong.
There is only one thing that can change the aspect of affairs, and that is, for Jesus to appear in our midst, and speak to us, giving us the word of direction.
Do you have any costly thing like an alabaster box hidden away? Give it to the King; he is worthy.
There is no other present salvation except what begins and ends with grace.
Abraham left his country at God’s command, and he never went back again. The proof of faith lies in perseverance.
David beheld the messenger of judgment standing in bodily form on the threshing-floor of a man called Araunah.
Praising and magnifying the name of Christ—this is to be our occupation in heaven: let us begin the music here, and make a heaven of the Church.
Let us consider the human heart and especially one exceptional and mysterious work which goes on in the minds of those who become the children of God.
The experience of believers has much in common. The language in which they are accustomed to express it bears a close resemblance.
Here was a household with all that it required of temporals with the blessing of God on it, but there was one son in it who caused a world of trial and trouble.
We shall have two things to consider this evening—the misery of our past state, and the great deliverance which God has accomplished for us.
There is light in this darkness, if not to the natural, yet to the spiritual eye, if we have grace to discern it.
A man that knows no Latin or Greek can cry. He who cannot speak with eloquence may still give eloquent vent to his feelings in tears and entreaties.
I sometimes run with Martha to do what Christ needs me to do; but I think I ought more frequently to sit with Mary to receive from Christ what I need from him.
Hezekiah finds fault with his prayers, but he did pray. God’s children cannot speak distinctly at all times, but they all cry.
From the throne where sits the once crucified but now glorified Saviour, there comes a whisper of hope to each and every soul who would be made new.
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).
