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.”
Striving is needed more than seeking. Let us pray that God the Holy Spirit would always enable us to be extremely earnest about the salvation of our souls.
How delightful it is to observe the co-working of the various persons of the sacred Trinity in the matter of salvation!
Even in the Christian Church we have great diversities of opinion concerning what the true form of worship is.
Many cannot believe in Christ because there is something within their hearts that very effectively prevents their coming to the faith of God’s elect.
Every creature born of Adam, who has not been saved by grace, is a prisoner to sin. He is a lawful captive to God’s law.
He loves all his own, and they must not judge him by what they feel, nor measure his love by a sense of their own lack of love.
The psalmist was full of praise, and therefore felt that he could not fully express the glory of God, but desired to enlist others in the sacred service.
Practical as the Epistle of James is, this apostle does not neglect to extol the grace of God; he would be very impractical if he did.
Did it ever strike you that man, according to the Jewish ceremonial law, is an unclean creature?
The truth is most uncomplimentary to man—it rolls him in the very dust, ranks him with the worms, makes nothing of him; yes, less than nothing.
I hope, indeed, I expect, that you will feel him here, and I pray that to each one of his people that soft word may come with divine power, “Peace be to you.”
It cannot be that God has left the world; it must be that the world has left God. It is not possible that God has ceased to speak to the soul.
Many men put the outward form of religion into the highest place, and to think the most of it, just as some think more of the body than they do of the mind.
We believe Solomon to be correct in his statement that “Just as a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his place.”
Our Saviour said in their hearing in plain terms told them that he would rise again. Yet on the third day not one whom we know of, expected him to rise.
Paul makes a clean sweep of every other basis for boasting, and casts himself on the one and only chosen object of his soul’s glorying.
Strong as their resolution to become followers of the Saviour seems, unhappily they stop short and linger in their old condition halting between two opinions.
No matter the cost, buy the truth. You may give everything for it, but you may take nothing in exchange for it, since there is nothing that can compare to it.
if God’s perfections were unfolded to our creature apprehensions, we would perceive that the chief splendour of his Majesty lay in his infinite benevolence.
Under the worst circumstances, true Christians find the richest comfort if they only know that Jesus is with them.
While there are many falsehoods, there can be only one truth; real religion is, therefore, one. There is only one gospel—the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It seems the child of God brought out gems of prayer in affliction more pure, brilliant, and sparkling than any that he produces in times of joy and exaltation.
We live with the life that Christ has given to us, but we cannot keep ourselves alive any more than we could first make ourselves alive.
Whatever religious privileges men of the world may have, they will lose them. It was a great favour to see Christ in the flesh.
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).
