The great preacher, Charles Spurgeon, extolled the free grace of God as much as anyone who has ever filled a pulpit. These sermons on that grand theme are representative of the work he loved so much, and in which he exhibited such supreme gifts--the direct appeal to the hearts and consciences of his hearers, the close application of Scripture promises, teaching, and rebuke to the habits and practices of their daily lives. Spurgeon, known in his day as "The Prince of Preachers," here proclaims the grandest of virtures of "The King of Kings." These sermons were unavailable until they appeared in the Metropolitan Tabernacle volumes from 1904-1911.
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.
