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.”
Mere mortal joys write their record on the sand, and their memory is soon erased; but Christ’s love is deeply inscribed on our hearts.
There are two ways in which men shall be made to bow the knee before God. Some will bow unwillingly under his iron rod. Others will bow joyfully before him.
When your prayer has been most prevalent, it is then that you have seen most of its imperfection.
Earth has engrossed our thoughts for too long; it is time that we should lift our eyes, and look upward to heaven.
Christ did not come merely to be an example. When we are dead in trespasses and sins, of what use can his example be to us?
It is amazing, my brethren, how soon our unbelief finds a reason for fear lest we should be lost. It seems to find such a reason, often, when there is none.
A true-hearted believer does not live for himself. Where there is abundance of grace, there is sure to be a spirit of unselfishness.
First, our Lord is a witness for the Father; secondly, he is a leader for his saved people; thirdly, he is a commander for those who, as yet, are not saved.
It is sad indeed that any of us should not eat what is good, and let our soul delight itself in abundance.
The Church is of no use whatever unless she produces the fruits of holiness and of gratitude to her Lord, her Divine Vinedresser.
“Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.” True religion does not seek its own honour.
Do not be startled if I say that it is very much in proportion to our thought that we really do worship; and, without thought, there is no true worship.
First, here is the lamentation of love: “ ‘ I have loved you,’ says the Lord.” Secondly, here is base ingratitude: “ Yet you say, ‘How have you loved us?’ ”
”Who is he who says, “Come to me?” Who is this who so anxiously desires those who labour and are heavy laden to come to him, so that he may give them rest?
It scarcely needs an apology for a Christian man sometimes to cry out, “My soul is weary because of those wicked men who surround me on every side.”
It is when you think you can see your way that you go wrong; when you cannot see your way. Trust in God to lead you the way you know not, and you will go right.
How can a man be just with God? There is no one who could have answered that question if it had not been made possible by our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is a commonly admitted truth that history repeats itself because it is the result of the same sinful tendencies in wicked human hearts.
Take each member of the Church individually, he is a child; take us altogether, we make up the mother, the Church.
Never allow anyone to make you depreciate the Old Testament. No part of the Bible is to be set up above the rest, or to be treated as of secondary importance.
I am going to speak of the greatest love that ever was, — the love of Jesus Christ for his chosen.
The believer in God is informed that he shall be in league with the stones of the field, and that the beasts of the field shall be at peace with him.
The minister should not only give a decisive and clear testimony in all his ministry, but also a loud and startling testimony.
Peter’s fall, as we noticed in our reading, is recorded four times, at considerable length; but it is not once excused.
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).
