“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates.” 2 Corinthians 13:5 I HAD INTENDED to address you this morning from the third title given to our blessed Redeemer, in the verse we have considered […]

C.H. Spurgeon: The Broken Fence
A religion which is all excitement, and has little instruction in it, may serve for transient use; but for permanent life-purposes there must be a knowledge of those great doctrines which are fundamental to the gospel system. I tremble when I hear of a man’s giving up, one by one, the vital principles of the […]
C.H. Spurgeon: Look to Jesus
It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus. But Satan’s work is just the opposite; he is constantly trying to make us look at ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you […]
C.H. Spurgeon: The Precious Blood of Christ
“The precious blood of Christ.” 1 Peter 1:19 Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is “precious” because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ’s people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the […]
C.H. Spurgeon: Surrendered to My Shepherd
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27 “My SHEEP,” saith Christ, as he stands in the midst of his disciples. “My Shepherd,” let us one and all reply. All the sheep of Christ who have been redeemed by his power, become his by their own cheerful […]
C.H. Spurgeon: Bought With A Price
“My sheep,” says Christ. They are his, furthermore, because, in addition to his choice and to the gift, he has bought them with a price. They had sold themselves for nought; but he has redeemed them, not with corruptible things as with silver and gold, but with his precious blood. C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
The Cross of Christ by C.H. Spurgeon
“Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.” 1 Peter 3:18 The Substitute was of complex nature. He was truly man, and yet He was truly God. Christ Jesus who “suffered” in the room, place, and stead of God’s chosen people, was man, man […]
Spurgeon Quotes on Obedience
You are God’s creature, and yet you have rendered to Him no obedience! You would not keep a horse or a dog that did not do you some service, or follow at your whistle. C.H. Spurgeon That obedience which is not voluntary is disobedience, for the Lord looketh at the heart, and if He seeth […]
C.H. Spurgeon: Heaven and Hell
“But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11-12 I picture someone standing at heaven’s gate, and demanding, “Let me in! Let me in!” What for? “Because my mother is in there.” Your mother had nothing to do with you. […]
C.H. Spurgeon: Turn or Burn (1)
A Sermon Delivered on Sabbath Morning, December 7, 1856, by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens “ If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready ” Psalm 7:12 If the sinner turn not, God will whet his sword.” So, […]
