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.”
We do not consider it right to admit all people indiscriminately to the Lord’s supper. We would have no one there with whom we cannot have true Christian fellowship.
There is still an enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, and the seed of the woman is made to feel the serpent’s malice.
Now, by the help of the blessed Spirit, we will consider the last words of our Lord Jesus before he gave up the ghost.
There are some people, who permit others to minister to their comfort, but it never occurs to them to provide for the comfort of their servants.
The destruction of Sodom was, undoubtedly, a literal fact; and the record of it in Genesis is as true a piece of history as any event that is recorded.
As we read the chapter from which my text is taken, we noticed that David had a holy purpose in his grateful heart.
The persecutions of that time were excessively severe, and every man who called himself a Christian had to carry his life in his hand.
We are often pitying the wicked, the profane, the blasphemer, and Sabbath breaker; but here we find God pitying us.
We have no respect whatever for the ordinances of men in religion. Anything that is only invented by churches, or councils, is nothing whatever to us.
We have no sacred place now, beloved friends, towards which we turn when we pray. We may pray to God with equal acceptance whichever way we turn.
We hope to proclaim this glorious gospel of the blessed God as long as we live.
Beloved, we shall never see “Jesus only,” until, like the disciples, we have seen Moses and Elijah, too.
The Lord was not ashamed to be called his people’s God, because they had faith in him.
Those “wild oats” about which you laugh now, are easily sown, but they will make hard and sorrowful reaping.
God still has a people whom he has chosen to be his own in a very special sense, but they are at present mixed up with the world.
If Jerusalem was not saved, if Christ did not gather them, and protect them, it was not because there was any unwillingness on his part.
It is evident that God has such a power over men, that he can work in their hearts just what he pleases, apart from their willingness or unwillingness.
As soon as we get to the other side of the cross, and realize that Christ has risen from the dead, everything is calm, and quiet, and peaceful.
True friends are very scarce. We have a great many acquaintances, and sometimes we call them friends, and so misuse the noble word “friendship.”
Men are not saved, otherwise than by faith in Jesus; and, therefore, to this great central point we must return again and again.
What a difference grace makes, wherever it enters the heart!
I firmly believe that there are thousands, who are ranked among the opposers of the gospel, who do not have anything to say against Christ from their own knowledge.
Wherever faith exists, it is the gift of God. It is a plant that never sprang up spontaneously from the soil of corrupt human nature.
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).
