As one of the greatest expository preachers of all time, Spurgeon is eminently qualified to teach on the role of passion and the power of tears in the life of Jesus Christ. Three times Scripture records that Jesus was moved to tears, and each instance is full of marvelous light and instruction for the life of a believer. Who better than Charles Spurgeon to describe the wealth of meaning contained in these amazing occasions.
Come with Charles Spurgeon and also consider the tender heart of Jesus Christ, the Savior's gentleness, the compassion the Master felt for the multitude and the widow of Nain, the anger of Jesus over the hardness of men's hearts, and the depths that made Him "the man of sorrows." Timeless messages on living passionately for Jesus Christ await you.
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.
