During nearly four decades of ministry, Charles Spurgeon built London's Metropolitan Tabernacle into the world's largest independent congregation and established a preaching legacy that may never be surpassed.
Being a wonderfully visual expositor, Spurgeon preached a remarkable number of sermons that centered around the miracles of Jesus Christ.
Journey then with Charles Spurgeon as he paints the biblical scenery of some of Christ's most stunning miracles. Spurgeon believed that "the object of the miracles is to reveal more fully the power and authority of our Lord's Word and to let us see by signs following that His teaching has an omnipotent force about it."
And the splendor of the miracles of Christ is not limited to what they teach us about the power of Christ to rescue us from sin. It is also clear from many of the miracles that the simplest action of life may be sublimely great.
C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
