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.”
Because man thinks so little of sin, he also thinks very little of the grace of God. To him, it seems a very simple matter to remove human guilt.
I want you to join with me in examining Paul’s statement concerning what is essential in coming to God.
It is very remarkable that there should be, in this chapter, a record of two people, who each said, “I have enough," and meant two very different things.
Well might our Saviour’s face be set like a flint when he could say, “He is near who justifies me: who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary?”
One point that is very plain is that no one has a right to baptism until he is a believer in Christ.
If the gospel had to wait until men came to it, there would be poor results from it; but it is a dew from the Lord that does not wait for men . . . it falls when he pleases.
Godly sorrow for sin, which the Spirit of God produces in the heart, is a sure indication of spiritual life, and the constant attendant of saving faith.
I would rather hear a man complain and cry out before God than hear him utter a single word that reveals a spirit of satisfaction with his own condition.
It is particularly encouraging to remember that the first person to whom our Lord Jesus Christ appeared after his ressurection was Mary Magdalene.
You are one of the Lord’s suffering children, one of those who has to pass through rough roads and fiery places in the course of their pilgrimage to heaven.
We are to point sinners to Jesus, — ourselves looking at him all the while, and praying that they also may look to him, and live.
To know Christ, to trust Christ, to love Christ, these are among the elementary principles of piety.
Let us meditate first on the transfiguration as a whole, and then turn our thoughts especially to the brightness of Christ’s transfigured face.
There is no place so safe in the time of a flood as a high rock, so climb to the Rock Christ, and you will be secure on the Rock that is higher than you are.
Whenever anyone really believes in Jesus Christ, there is always, mingled with the joyful belief, a measure of sorrowful repentance.
What is the sacrifice of which we speak today but the Lord Jesus Christ? It is with this sacrifice that believers are perfectly satisfied.
Many of those Psalms which are entitled “Maschil” or instructive Psalms record the experience of the writer, and therefore become the lesson-book for others.
When we were first converted, we could not sing God’s praises loudly enough; we could not sufficiently leap for joy before the Lord.
If some “teller” could divide the house into Ayes and Nays, separating those on God’s side from those who are not, the spectacle would be a very striking one.
“Although he was a Son, yet he,” as well as the rest of us who are in the Lord’s family, “learned obedience by the things which he suffered.”
We have a blessing, special and unique, through not having seen, and yet having believed.
He foreknew and foresaw everything; yet he chose us just as we were. If he had intended to abandon us, and cast us away, would he ever have accepted us at all?
If a man becomes Christ’s disciple, he must remain Christ’s disciple throughout the rest of his life.
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).
