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.”
In the sight of God there is a line, narrow, but most sure, which separates the living from the dead, the believing from the unbelieving.
Physical pain is a grievous infliction; mental agony or spiritual sorrow is still worse.
There is one great difference between Christ, as the Founder of the Christian religion, and all mere men who have attempted to create a system of belief.
His infinite mercy at last taught Israel to know him in deed and in truth, and by the mighty power of his grace she was completely delivered.
Treasure up in your mind and heart the assured fact that Christ was most really and truly man.
The message of infinite mercy to such people is: “Return, you backsliding children”; come back, come home to your God. There is no other place of rest for you in the whole wide world.
Our divine Master healed men every day of the week; from the first day even to the close of the seventh day, he went around doing good.
I believe that the best and grandest achievements of mortals lose their glory when they are too closely examined.
By nature, everyone is a captive under the power of Satan, sin, and death.
I have a little to say about the condition of Judah under Ahaz, before I come to personal dealing with souls from this text.
God no longer convicts of sin by the terrors of the law, but he comes to deal with the poor guilty soul on terms of love and mercy.
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return to me; for I have redeemed you.
Here we behold the Saviour in the depths of his agonies and sorrows. No other place shows so well the griefs of Christ as Calvary.
It was very amazing that our Lord Jesus Christ, after his resurrection, should give so early and so clear a revelation of himself to Mary Magdalene.
The relationship of father and son among man implies that one exists before the other, but it is not so implied in the relationship of the eternal Father and Son.
David thought it necessary before Solomon began the temple to remind him that “unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.”
The great cause of a Christian’s distress is this — while they are looking around to see how they may escape their troubles, they do not say, “Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night?”
I have heard it said, by those who would be thought philosophers, that in religion we must believe, but cannot know.
Have you read this chapter through? It is a very terrible one; it is like the rushing of a mighty river when it is nearing a cataract.
Christians believe that this body which we now inhabit, though it must die and see corruption, shall be raised again from the dust
We dream that our temptations are worse than those of our fathers, but they are not. We imagine that the Church is subject to worse diseases than in her early days, but it is not so.
True religion is not a thing that can be acquired by carelessness or neglect; we must take heed, or we shall never be found in the narrow way.
There is one solemn thought which deeply impresses the man who is right at heart, but who sees his own foolishness and sin, and mourns it; and that thought is, that God sees it.
It clearly appears that the Christian life is one of continuous progress. It would be so without a break if we were more careful, and lived nearer to God.
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).
