The post 245. The Way to God — John 14:6 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“The Shameful Sufferer” was the means of a great awakening in very many, and still brings forth continual fruit. Christ bleeding always makes the heart bleed, and his shame makes men ashamed of sin. Let but the Holy Spirit open the eyes of men to behold a sorrowing Saviour and they will at once sorrow […]
The post 236. The Shameful Sufferer — Hebrews 12:2 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“There are two great lessons which every man must learn, and learn by experience, before he can be a Christian. First, he must learn that sin is an exceeding great and evil thing; and he must learn also that the blood of Christ is an exceedingly precious thing, and is able to save unto the […]
The post 223. The Evil and its Remedy — Ezekiel 9:9; 1 John 1:7 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
Listen as Spurgeon raises a battle cry against sin!“Christian, hate evil. It has been your murderer… it has done you all the mischief that hell itself could do—mischief which would have wrought your eternal undoing, had not the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ prevented. Thou hast good reason, then, to hate sin.” – C.H.S. […]

“These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also.”—Acts 17:6. “They said the Apostles turned the world upside down. They meant by that, that they were disturbers of the peace.

The gospel is the central message of the bible!Writing to the Romans, the Apostle Paul says that the gospel is the “power of God for salvation…” The Corinthians are told that the gospel that was delivered to them was “of first importance…”It’s the message of Jesus, and all that He endured in order to save […]

Are you an ‘average Christian’? This sermon is for you.(above and below-average Christians may benefit also) “He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast […]
The post 175. The Two Talents — Matthew 25:22-23 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
Spurgeon says the following in the preface of volume 4 of his sermons:““A Call to the Unconverted,” has been the means of awakening very many to a sense of their lost condition.” May it please the Lord to continue His life-giving work through these words! “For as many as are of the works of the […]
The post 174. A Call to the Unconverted — Galatians 3:10 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“Could it be true that he who was everlasting and immortal, would one day be nailed to a cross?” – C.H.S.Typically, when we think of a condescending person, we imagine someone who is patronizing, or assumes an air of superiority. But to condescend can also mean to put aside one’s dignity or superiority voluntarily and […]
The post 151. The Condescension of Christ — 2 Corinthians 8:9 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
If you’ve ever wondered how the Lord can be both gracious and a God of judgment, this is the sermon to listen to. Young Charles Spurgeon explains how these seemingly contradictory things harmoniously exist in our marvelous Maker! “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the […]
The post 137. Mercy, Omnipotence, and Justice — Nahum 1:3 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“There are many who fancy they are born again who are not” – C.H.S. Spurgeon makes the case that it’s possible to act and talk like a Christian, even profess to be a Christian, and yet not be a Christian. — You must be born again — “Except a man be born again, he cannot […]
The post 130. Regeneration — John 3:3 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
—Redemption, justification, grace, faith; words every Christian should know, adore, and be able to teach with clarity!— At this point in Spurgeon’s ministry, his fame has made him somewhat of a spectacle, with thousands of curious people, unfamiliar with the gospel, flocking to hear him preach each week. Spurgeon focused much of his time in […]
The post 126. Justification by Grace — Romans 3:24 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“Your real want is to know how you can be saved; if you are aware that your sin must be pardoned or punished, your question will be, “How can it be pardoned?” and then point blank in the very teeth of your enquiry, there stands out this fact: “Without shedding of blood there is no […]
The post 118. The Blood-Shedding — Hebrews 9:22 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
Few will argue that salvation is possible without faith, but how many have a firm grasp, and can articulate what faith is? Young Charles Spurgeon clearly explains this crucial component of our salvation with helpful illustrations throughout. He then asks “the vital question”.: “Do you have faith?” “Without faith it is impossible to please God.”—Hebrews […]
The post 107. Faith — Hebrews 11:6 (Spurgeon Sermon Audio) appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
God’s love for His wayward creatures is powerfully and clearly demonstrated at the cross of Jesus. Our great sin requires a great forgiveness which is offered to us at great cost to our God and Savior. Spurgeon’s fear was that because of his hearers familiarity with the gospel story, nine out of ten would leave […]
The post 104. Love’s Commendation — Romans 5:8 (Spurgeon) appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
“…there are some of your members of churches who will one day be members of the pit.” – C.H.S. It is sadly true that many who confess to know Jesus, don’t (Matthew 7:23-24). Many don’t even have a category for ‘false professors’ (I didn’t). They assume everyone who has prayed some form of the ‘sinner’s […]

~ To make light of the Light of the world is no small offense in the eyes of God. ~ “Ah! it is a solemn thing to make light of Christ. Despise a prince, and ye shall have little honour at the king’s hand for it; but despise the Son of God, and the Father […]

Having been convicted of murder, William Palmer was put to death on June 14th, 1856. The next morning, young Charles Spurgeon, reflecting on the events of the previous day, spoke on the perfect justice of God in condemning sinners. The topic is far from pleasant, for Spurgeon speaks often of our deserved doom. I urge […]
The post 86. Unimpeachable Justice — Psalm 51:4 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
What could be more important for a lost sinner than to know how he or she can be saved? Young Charles Spurgeon teaches that the way of salvation can be found only in the Scriptures through the saving work of Jesus, who died for us, and now lives for us! “Wherefore he is able also […]
The post 84. Salvation to the Uttermost — Hebrews 7:25 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
Young Charles Spurgeon says of this sermon, “[it] is intended for those who are young in the fear of the Lord, that they may better understand this great starting point of God in the heart, the effectual calling of men by the Holy Spirit.” It came as a surprise to me that Spurgeon believed his […]
The post 73. Effectual Calling — Luke 19:5 appeared first on Hear Spurgeon.
Young Charles Spurgeon had no shortage of comforting words (See sermons 5, 6, 13, 31, and 53), and while he took no pleasure in pointing out faults in the church, he considered it a loving act to show people where they were at odds with their God. This sermon (A Solemn Warning for all Churches) […]
