Sermons & Devotionals by Charles Spurgeon

Sin . . . exceeding sinful
Beware of light thoughts of sin. At the time of conversion, the conscience is so tender, that we are afraid of the slightest sin. Young converts have a holy timidity, a godly fear lest they should offend against God. But alas! very soon the fine bloom upon these first ripe fruits is removed by the r... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Sin And Grace Cannot Agree
Sin and grace can no more agree than fire and water. Even the God of peace never tries to establish a peace between good and evil, for it would be monstrous even if it were possible. The way to peace is the way of holiness. Cast out sin, and you cast out contention. Subdue iniquity, and peace wins t... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Sin is shut out—and they are shut in!
"The sound of weeping and crying will be heard no more!" Isaiah 65:19 The glorified weep no more—because all causes of grief are gone! There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects in heaven. Poverty, famine, peril, persecution, and slander—are unknown there. No pain distresses, and no tho... Read More

Sins Of Ignorance
Inadvertence is a kind of acted ignorance: a man frequently does wrong for want of thought, through not considering the bearing of his action, or even thinking at all. He carelessly and hastily blunders into the course which first suggests itself, and errs because he did not study to be right. There... Read More

Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree
These words are for the humbling of God's people; they are called God's vine, but what are they by nature more than others? They, by God's goodness, have become fruitful, having been planted in a good soil; the Lord hath trained them upon the walls of the sanctuary, and they bring forth fruit to His... Read More

Song of Confidence
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt receive me: thou shalt sketch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. (Psalm 138:7) Wretched walking in the midst of trouble. Nay, blessed walking, since there is a special promise for it. Give me a promis... Read More

Spiritual Revival: The Need of the Christian
“O Lord, revive thy work” (Hab. 3:2). All true religion is the work of God. He regards the work of grace as being even more glorious than His works of nature. He is, therefore, especially careful that people know that He is indeed the author of salvation in the world and in the hearts of men. It is ... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Spiritual Sowing
He that soweth to the Spirit shall of die Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:8) Sowing looks like a losing business, for we put good corn into the ground never to see it anymore. Sowing to the Spirit seems a very fanciful, dreamy business; for we deny ourselves and apparently get nothing for... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Stay Free!
Those who had been of the sect of the Pharisees brought a good share of Pharisaic tendencies with them into the church, and these were dangerous to the young kingdom of Christ. I scarcely know whether legal principles were not able to do more mischief inside the church by perverting pure doctrine th... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Such is life
Such is LIFE. A bubble, brilliant with rainbow hues, delighting the eye of youth for a moment and then gone for ever, leaving not a trace behind. Man wilt thou risk thine all upon that bubble? Be wise and seek substantial good, and since this can ne'er be found beneath the skies, cry to the God of H... Read More

Such likeness between men and swine!
Rowland Hill illustrated the folly of sinners, by the story of a butcher who was followed by the swine right into the slaughterhouse. As pigs are not usually in the mind to go where they are wanted, it seemed a mystery how these animals were so eager to follow their executioner; but when it was seen... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Surefootedness
The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hind's feet, and he will mate me to walk upon mine high places. (Habakkuk 3:19) This confidence of the man of God is tantamount to a promise, for that which faith is persuaded of is the purpose of God. The prophet had to traverse the deep pl... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler
God delivers His people from the snare of the fowler in two senses. From, and out of. First, He delivers them from the snare--does not let them enter it; and secondly, if they should be caught therein, He delivers them out of it. The first promise is the most precious to some; the second is the best... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Surely something must be amiss with the scales!
"You are to have honest balances, honest weights, an honest dry measure, and an honest liquid measure; I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." Leviticus 19:36 Weights, and scales, and measures—were to be all according to the standard of justice. Surely no Christian will ne... Read More

Surgery for Healing
Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (Hosea 6:1) It is the Lord's way to tear before He heals. This is the honest love of His heart and the sure surgery of His hand. He also bruises before He binds up, or else it would... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Take both sorrow and sin—to the same place!
"Look upon my affliction and my pain—and forgive all my sins!" Psalm 25:18 It is well for us when prayers about our sorrows—are linked with pleas concerning our sins; when, being under God's hand, we are not wholly taken up with our pain—but remember our offences against God. It is well, also, to ta... Read More

Take up the cross, and follow Me
You have not the making of your own cross, although unbelief is a master carpenter at cross-making; neither are you permitted to choose your own cross, although self-will would fain be lord and master; but your cross is prepared and appointed for you by divine love, and you are cheerfully to accept ...

Talk Of God's Wondrous Works
You cannot all preach, but you can all talk; and, if some preachers would refrain from rhetoric and tell their plain unvarnished tale, they would succeed better than they do now. Do you think that God meant his ministers to kill themselves in order come out on Sundays with one or two splendid displa... Read More

Tears Shall Cease
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 21:4) Yes, we shall carne to this if we are believers. Sorrow shalt cease, and tears shall be wiped away. This is the world of weeping, but it passes away. There shall be a new heaven and a new earth, so says the first verse of this chap... Read More
Charles Spurgeon
Tell me . . . where Thou feedest
These words express the desire of the believer after Christ, and his longing for present communion with Him. Where doest Thou feed Thy flock? In Thy house? I will go, if I may find Thee there. In private prayer? Then I will pray without ceasing. In the Word? Then I will read it diligently. In Thine ... Read More
