As one of the greastest expository preachers of all time, Charles Spurgeon is eminently qualified to teach on the role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. The amazing success of his thirty-eight-year metropolitan ministry in the city of London during the 1800s was said to have been unparalleled in England since the days of Whitefield and Wesley.
Spurgeon credited his success to the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. He firmly believed that the spiritual transformations that occurred throughout the book of Acts were only the beginning of the mighty works the Holy Spirit intends to do. Declaring that Pentecost was not the pinnacle of the church's experience but only the first unveiling of what could and should happen, Spurgeon called upon believers to receive and live up to the full potential of the Holy Spirit.
Life-changing messages await you. Spurgeon's teaching is so solidly biblical, so understandable, so passionate, so wonderfully visual, and so practical that one cannot help but be inspired and challenged.
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
