A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Thursday evening, October 29th 1885.Spurgeon shows us our need of God. The Lord alone can turn our eyes away from sin and give us life. He alone can work in us ‘to will and to do of His good pleasure’ (Philippians 2:13). Spurgeon refers more than once to the words that Bunyan heard, when he was a young man, as he was playing a game of ‘Tip Cat’, on the Lord's day, on the village green at Elstow, Bedfordshire: “Wilt thou leave thy sins, and go to heaven? Or ha...

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, February 8th 1857.Spurgeon was very gifted in exposing human weakness, and in pleading with sinners and saints. Here he begs us to get rid of everything that offends God, however hidden from others our sins may be. His expressions, when denouncing hypocrisy, are among the strongest which he ever uttered (14:57ff). Surely if everyone followed his advice here, our souls would flourish as they have ever done before.Read by: Gavin Childress...

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning 9th March 1890.Most sermons we hear contain some application. Perhaps there is an appeal to repent and turn to the Lord. Yet here we see Spurgeon, equipped with the promises and threatenings of Scripture, searching every room in the heart of a sinner. He seems familiar with human reluctance and refusal to follow the paths of God. Yet he is tender in his approach.Read by: Gavin Childress

A Lecture delivered by CH Spurgeon.Spurgeon’s personal library consisted of over 12,000 books. Many were rare folio Puritan and other works. Here he takes us on a tour of his commentaries. He is outspoken and objective as he weighs the pros and cons of each. He makes the point early on that we should take an interest in these books. He says: "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others."Re...

Yet here Spurgeon takes us into new pastures, as he guides us on a journey into three great characteristics of Jesus from Isaiah 55. Rather than taking three points, with one characteristic per section, he deals very intricately with each. As usual we are left with new insights concerning our glorious Lord.Read by: Gav...

However, Spurgeon, after having preached to thousands in a temporary structure, narrowly escaped with his life! Hundreds may have died, as he explains at the beginning. This led the preacher to consider the Hand of God in all things. Spurgeon seems to have had a very colourful life (see the introduction to his sermon: "Alive")! Here th...
