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.”
Our Savior Jesus Christ had a most fruitful time after he had encountered the most violent and bitter opposition.
Jacob, in his fear, is not to be held up as an example for us. He is not to be commended for fearing Esau, neither are we to imitate him in this respect.
If you have not yet believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have to say that your condition is a very sad one, and a very sinful one.
A hasty man is never a wise man; and it is equally true that a “fearful” man is never prudent.
Let us consider the text itself: “I am your very great reward”; and let us ask, first, what is this reward? The Lord himself is the portion of his people.
Perfection of holiness must mean perfection of happiness, the two things must go together.
Unbelief is based on absurdity, but faith rests on reason and fact. This may not at first sight seem to be true, but it really is so.
Throughout the Church of Christ, there have been particular places where men of God have been compelled to fall on their knees, and pray this prayer of Moses.
For a man to take his creed blindly from a pope or a priest, is to degrade himself, because he receives that teaching from his fellow man.
To the believer, faith is of the utmost importance. The believer, after his conversion, lives in no other way but by faith.
Prayer is a vital evidence of Christianity, but prophecy is not. A thousand sermons would not prove a man to be a Christian, but one genuine prayer would.
Ezekiel stood alive among the dead; he survived in the midst of universal destruction, because he had served his God in the midst of universal depravity.
Unbelief is presumptuous, but faith is always humble. The more you know of Jesus as your Saviour, the more you will recognise him also as your Lord.
For salvation out of any trouble, we should only look to God. For eternal salvation, we must assuredly only look to God.
You cannot speak of obeying anything which does not have the authority of a command; it is clear that the gospel comes to men with the force of a command.
In order to complete the redemption of his chosen people, it was necessary for Christ to be both God’s well-beloved Son, and to be forsaken by his Father.
If you have lived lukewarmly, the things of God will darken your dying hour, and weigh down your spirit with a fearful load of sad reflections.
The fear which drives anyone away from God is a vice and a sin, but the fear that draws us towards God, as with silken bonds, is a virtue to be cultivated.
If there is any difficulty in our minds, let us ask, for the Holy Spirit can solve it.
The whole race of mankind has gone astray; but God has his chosen people among the fallen race.
When we are flat on our faces, we are generally the nearest to heaven. When we sink the lowest in our own esteem, we rise the highest in fellowship with Christ.
There is no Saviour for the man who will not forsake his sin. How can he run to Christ while he continues in the way of sin?
The Christian makes much of God, and God makes much of him, for they have a mutual delight in each other.
There is cleansing by water as well as by blood; the blood that washes away the guilt of sin is accompanied by a cleansing flood that takes away the power of sin.
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).
