Spurgeon Sermon SeriesSep 22, 2023
Alive!
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, Dec 12th 1880 Fake news is not a new phenomenon. This sermon was born from the false rumour that Spurgeon had died. He speaks of the importance of spiritual as well as physical life; that all true life is life for Christ. Otherwise we are spiritually dead, even while we appear to live.

A Safe Prospective Spurgeon Sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day evening July 8th 1869 Do you long to know the future of your life on earth? Spurgeon gives strong reasons for the veil that is cast over the days yet to come. He argues that this enables trust in God to develop and our present joys to increase. He explores the Providence of God and points us to simple submission to the Divine will. It is here that our peace will be found. Spurgeon always seemed to confront such themes with courage, maturity and faith.

Providence Spurgeon sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day Morning April 11th 1858.
Some of us are weary of modern rules concerning "Health and Safety" (or OSHA in the USA). 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 the preacher views the subject of God's Providence with boldness, thoughtfulness and courage.

The King's Highway Opened and Cleared
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, January 8th 1860 Typical of the early sermons of CH Spurgeon, the introduction grasps our imagination with a sublime and vivid illustration. How we need to find refuge in the Lord Jesus! The sermon could have been much longer, as there are so many foolish obstacles that keep us from leaving our sins, and finding our safety in Jesus .

Man's Thoughts and God's Thoughts Spurgeon sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning 18th Feb 1866. A useful preacher will study God's Word, and lovingly communicate its truth to people. Spurgeon, however, went further. He studied the ways of men and women, and could describe with frightening accuracy the hardness of our hearts. Some preachers unwittingly encourage those who feel too hurt to forgive. Here, however, the preacher resists every bitter thought with all his might.
Spurgeon Lecture to his Students: Open Air Preaching: Remarks thereon
Here we see Spurgeon at his most relaxed and humorous.
Speaking of these informal lectures on Friday afternoons at the College, one of Spurgeon’s former students and a close friend said this: “In the presence of his students he seemed to be as much at home, and as free from all restraints, as in the quiet seclusion of his own home. Many a time when listening to him in college I felt that the world outside, having only his works or having heard him preach, did not know Spurgeon. There were elements and powers in him which only those who saw him often in his presidential chair were acquainted with. In the pulpit, as he himself has said, there was often the necessity to repress certain tendencies of his nature, such as wit, sarcasm , and mimicry; but in the college these were allowed full play, so that his talks were not more instructive than they were entertaining and amusing. The absolute humanness of the man too was seldom seen as in college. If each student had taken notes of his wise and witty utterances, Dr. Pierson's remarks would prove to be most true. He says : ‘If the history of his humour alone could be written, it would fill volumes, and it would be a great contribution to the innocent merriment of the human race as well as a great revelation of character. He had an anecdote for any and every new emergency, and many of his stories carried all the force of argument and illustration combined .’” (W. Williams: Personal Reminiscences of CH Spurgeon)
Spurgeon Lecture to his Students: A Minister's Ordinary Conversation
Here we see how those who serve the Lord as preachers and elders should conduct themselves day to day. Every believer can benefit from this advice, as to how best to shine for the Lord in all company.
Spurgeon Lecture to his Students: Attention
This lecture is of course for preachers. In it we learn the importance of attaining and retaining the concentration of the congregation.
CH Spurgeon Lecture to his Students: The Preacher’s Private Prayer (Book 1 Lecture 3)
Here, Spurgeon is speaking especially to ministers of the Gospel. We see the importance of true devotion to the Lord. How strange it is, that the Author of God’s Word is consulted less frequently that commentators upon it!
Spurgeon: The Sluggard's Farm a sermon delivered 1888
This sermon deals with spiritual laziness in particular. In it we see Spurgeon showing us that even a field of weeds can teach us! The preacher here seeks to correct the errors of hyper-Calvinism, and the excuses of those who believe that evangelism is for others and not them. Here we see the vital importance of spiritual zeal.

Spurgeon Sermon: Always and for All things
This sermon was preached by CH Spurgeon Lord's day morning 2nd February 1873. Here Spurgeon deals with the importance of Thankfulness, and the joy of expressing our gratitude and praise to God. We have to picture that morning, so long ago, as full of snow; with dark clouds overhead. The preacher here finds good reasons at all times for thankfulness!
God's Strange Choice (1 Corinthians 1:26-29) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon

Laus Deo A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day May 29th 1864
“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36)
Here Spurgeon draws us into a deeply doctrinal, practical and God-honouring sermon.

A Jealous God (Exodus 34:14) A Sermon preached by CH Spurgeon Lord’s day morning March 29th 1863.
Here, as I have suggested many times, perhaps you, the listener, may first wish to write down some notes of what you might have said under this heading. Then, having written some thoughts, listen to the far-reaching breadth of Spurgeon’s sermon upon this theme.
Notice his own carefulness lest in any way he reduce his Creator to the passions of us mere men. Yet take note also of his prayerful, forthright and deeply considered approach to this vital theme.

1 Samuel 7:12. Ebenezer: "Hithertto hath the Lord helped us" Sermon preached by CH Spurgeon Lord's day morning 15th March 1863
Here Spurgeon deals with the theme of thankfulness. Part way through the sermon he tells us his own reason for thankfulness on that day. He ascribes all glory, not to man, but to the living God.
He refers at 15:04 to the terrible events at the Surrey Gardens Music Hall, when pranksters shouted “Fire!” and in the ensuing stampede, eight people were crushed to death. This event cast a long shadow over Spurgeon and led to great depression of spirit. More details can be seen here: http://victoriancalendar.blogspot.com/2011/10/october-19-1856-surrey-gardens-tragedy.html
Spurgeon speaks openly of human failings, and fears; also of the victories obtained by our suffering, and now exalted, Saviour Jesus.

CH Spurgeon: The New Song (Psalm 98:1) Preached Lord's day evening 28th Dec 1862
This sermon seems to have the dew of heaven about it. It seems so fresh and vigorous; so relevant to our times. Spurgeon, so vivid and original in his grasp of the theme of Christ’s victory, speaks in ways we do not expect. The preacher admits that Satan’s legions are bold and brave; but he warns them of the fiery judgment to come.
This sermon helps us to immerse ourselves in the great Victory which shall be heaven’s everlasting theme. Here we are reminded of that great Day when Death, and the Grave shall be seen to be defeated forever, through our Lord’s triumph on the cross.
I hope you benefit from the words of this sermon and long to be on the Lord’s side: “O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory” (Psalm 98:1)
Heavenly Worship (Revelation 14:1-3) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day morning 28th December1856. Spurgeon was only 22 years of age when he preached this sermon; and the spiritual maturity God had given him was clearly seen. In later years, Spurgeon became far more cautious about preaching and commentating upon the Book of Revelation. Here he deals with the great themes of salvation by grace, election, heavenly worship. There is great spiritual benefit to be enjoyed, whatever particular views you hold of the 144,000 and the millennial reign of the Saviour.

Bankrupt Debtors Discharged (Luke 7:42) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day morning September 16th 1883 This sermon was read out during an emotional time for me. The sermon so richly explains the poverty of man, and the riches of Christ! I felt deeply the joy of pardon, and the sorrow of our spiritual bankruptcy by nature! I hope it is a real blessing to all who need forgiveness.

The World on Fire (2 Peter 3:10, 11) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon
A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Sunday 3rd August 1873 Read by: Gavin Childress You will notice that the theme of fire seems here (and in his sermon ‘Fire, the Want of the Times’) to awaken in Spurgeon a burning fervency. Here we note his reluctance to be dogmatic concerning the order of events which lie ahead. He stands by the Word of God, but is nervous of all human conjecture concerning the Last Days. He himself was very careful never to handle the Book of Revelation in a rough or thoughtless way. He knew that the doctrines of the Last days were to be taught with great care, as well as expectation. The restoration of the Jewish people to Israel, and to their Messiah; the return of the Saviour; the end of the age and the fearful Day of Judgment he knew as solid realities yet to occur; but he would not be drawn to guess when, or in what exact order, these things might come to pass. Listen deeply to Spurgeon here, who draws out the essence of the apostle Peter’s teaching and passes it onto us. He sees here, not words to provoke our imagination about the future; but a theme to make us holy and ready for our Lord’s glorious return.
