      <title>God’s Word: Our Rule for Life and Worship</title>
      <link>None/81726215214020</link>
      <description>The sermon explores the Westminster Shorter Catechism to define humanity's primary purpose as glorifying God and enjoying Him forever. It establishes that sin severed this communion, making Christ necessary for restoration. The preacher identifies Scripture as the sole rule directing believers on how to fulfill this divine mandate. By citing passages like Ephesians and 2 Timothy, the text emphasizes the authority and sufficiency of the Bible for doctrine and instruction. The message concludes with a call to memorize these truths and pursue a joyful, obedient walk with God.</description>

      <title>A Paradox (sermon 2050)</title>
      <link>None/8826555271380</link>
      <description>Charles Spurgeon increasingly inhabited the paradox of which he preached in this sermon: "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2Cor 12:10). How can a man be weak and strong at the same time? How can he be made strong out of his weakness? To answer this question, Spurgeon first turns the words the other way up, and makes them into a warning of sorts, exposing the pretended strength of the strong, whether that is unbelievers who imagine that they can save themselves, or believers who are resting in their own imagined excellences. So the high-minded are humbled, before Spurgeon flips his text into the right orientation and asks about the 'when' and the 'then' of the verse, asking especially how the weakness of the saints brings us to Christ, and brings Christ to us, in such a way as to glorify the Lord, as empty self seeks the fulness of him who fills all in all. Are you feeling your weakness? Are you weary and washed out in the way? Then do not pretend to be anything else, and do not try and find strength in yourself, but cast yourself upon Christ and find in him the strength which he alone supplies.</description>

      <title>The Maintenance of Good Works (sermon 2042)</title>
      <link>None/86261636366900</link>
      <description>This is Spurgeon at his most heartfelt, delighting in grace and urging to holiness. Taking quite a substantial text, and holding fast to its substance and arrangement, he brings us face to face first of all with what we are by nature, what we once were in the evils of our minds, our pursuits, and our hearts. Here he urges us to tears of repentance as he ploughs up our souls. Then he considers what the Lord has done for us, ranging over the wonderful declarations of grace contained in the text, and stirring us up to grateful joy, considering not least the merciful works of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit toward us. Then he brings us to the practical punch, that we should be careful to maintain good works. Here he robustly dismisses any suggestion that this is mere legalistic preaching, making clear that to the unbeliever he calls not to good works, but to Christ only. The exhortation to live as a cheerful servant goes not to the slave but to the son, to those who have been redeemed by grace. Inaction here, careless or passive living, brings dishonour to the Lord who has saved us, and so we must embrace this "faithful saying," and show by our good fruit the sweetness of our new root.</description>

      <title>Which Path Are We Going to Take?</title>
      <link>None/82261656555628</link>
      <description>The sermon urges believers to reject modern theological compromises and cultural drift by returning to the foundational truths of Scripture. Drawing on Charles Spurgeon's historical struggle against liberal theology, it highlights the danger of gradual spiritual decline within the church. The preacher emphasizes that true restoration requires stopping, examining one's walk with God, and actively pursuing the old paths of biblical authority, fervent prayer, and holy living. It warns that mere religious activity without doctrinal fidelity leads to barrenness, while obedience brings lasting rest for the soul. Ultimately, the message calls for personal repentance and a renewed commitment to Christ-centered worship and service.</description>

      <title>What Is the Chief End of Man?</title>
      <link>None/8326120221349</link>
      <description>The sermon introduces a new congregational practice of memorizing Spurgeon's Catechism to establish a solid foundation in biblical doctrine. The preacher addresses concerns regarding women speaking in church, clarifying that while they are prohibited from teaching with authority or usurping male leadership, they may participate in collective recitation and singing without violating scripture. Key passages such as 1 Timothy 2:12 and 1 Corinthians 14:34 are examined to distinguish between authoritative teaching and communal participation. The session then transitions into the first lesson of the catechism, focusing on the question of man's chief end. The central message emphasizes that all aspects of life should be directed toward glorifying God and enjoying Him forever, as illustrated by the Lord's Prayer and 1 Corinthians 10:31.</description>

      <title>The Whole-heartedness of God in Blessing his People (sermon 2036)</title>
      <link>None/812672051472</link>
      <description>Throughout this sermon, Spurgeon complains that he is falling short of the subject which he has taken. I think other preachers, reading and responding to what he says, might long for such a failure as this! The text itself is a casket of pearls, and Spurgeon, after giving us a survey of them, urges us to ponder them more carefully for ourselves: "Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all my heart and with all my soul." Having considered some of what that means, perhaps the high point of the sermon then comes as Spurgeon considers the fact that this whole-hearted, whole-souled demonstration of practical love comes from the triune God, and is manifest in all the dealings of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Those paragraphs are worth soaking in! Finally, he offers consolation and exhortation to the people of God, as we consider God's heart toward us and examine our own hearts toward him. The whole closes with a heartfelt plea from the preacher for those who do not yet know God's love in this way to come to him and receive all that is held out. I would urge you to read the whole sermon. I am persuaded it will do much good to our souls.</description>

      <title>Peter Sleeps in the Face of Death</title>
      <link>None/72626171923635</link>
      <description>The sermon explores the miraculous deliverance of Peter from prison in Acts 12, highlighting how Christ thwarts tyrannical plans through sovereign power. It emphasizes the necessity of earnest, persistent prayer by the church, drawing on Charles Spurgeon's insights to illustrate that God often delays deliverance to deepen faith and reliance on Him. The narrative contrasts Peter's peaceful sleep in the face of death with the believers' initial disbelief at his rescue, exposing the human tendency toward slow belief despite fervent petition. By referencing other biblical accounts of divine intervention, the message encourages listeners to trust in God's timing and power during desperate crises.

      <itunes:subtitle>Lee Dodd - Acts (2024-Present)</itunes:subtitle>
    <itunes:summary>The sermon explores the miraculous deliverance of Peter from prison in Acts 12, highlighting how Christ thwarts tyrannical plans through sovereign power. It emphasizes the necessity of earnest, persistent prayer by the church, drawing on Charles Spurgeon's insights to illustrate that God often delays deliverance to deepen faith and reliance on Him. The narrative contrasts Peter's peaceful sleep in the face of death with the believers' initial disbelief at his rescue, exposing the human tendency toward slow belief despite fervent petition. By referencing other biblical accounts of divine intervention, the message encourages listeners to trust in God's timing and power during desperate crises. Ultimately, it calls for a renewed commitment to fervent prayer and steadfast faith, acknowledging that God's glory is most magnified when human resources are exhausted.</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Religion &amp; Spirituality</itunes:keywords></item>

      <title>The Sluggard’s Farm (sermon 2027)</title>
      <link>None/722261527343089</link>
      <description>Spurgeon turns us to the field of the lazy man, the vineyard of the sluggard, to learn lessons for our souls and for our lives. While I suppose the sermon could have descended into mere moralism, Spurgeon keeps it from doing so by connecting the life we live to the state of our souls, and by constantly drawing parallels between our attitude to our lives and our attitude to our spiritual well-being. Emphatic about not just the fruitlessness of the natural heart, but about its proper tendency to abound in things vile and pestilential, he urges us to use every proper means to root out what is ugly and to cultivate what is beautiful in God's eyes. He pleads with us to look to our own fields—our own hearts, the homes over which we are called to govern and in which we serve, the congregations for which we care and the classes which we teach, the towns and cities where we dwell, and the world in which we live. Good intentions produce nothing—the sluggard only wants a little more sleep, a few more minutes in bed, and he will make everything good…but he never quite gets up and gets round to anything. So Spurgeon calls us not to vague assertions of action to come, but of immediate practical engagement, for the sake of our own souls, and the souls of all those around us.</description>

      <title>The Rod That Leaves Gentle Bruises</title>
      <link>None/719261553335357</link>
      <description>The book of Judges is one of my favorites—but certainly not because it's an easy read. If you are not yet getting a bit sick of hearing Israel descend into sin again and again, you likely will be by the time we are done. But that is exactly the point—the true nature of sin is so noxious, that the land itself had become "sick" because of the sins of the people (and that's putting it nicely: see Lev 18:24-28). Sin is ugly, and its effects are nauseating.  But although sin brings death, life is found in Christ. The saga of Judges will be complicated, and unsettling, and quite dark at times. But it is given for our instruction, so that we would see the darkness of our sin set against the glory of Christ. Charles Spurgeon is often credited with saying "I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages." But the real quotation from his 1874 sermon is better still:  "The wave of temptation may even wash you higher up upon the Rock of Ages, so that you cling to it with a firmer grip than you have ever done before; and so again where sin abounds, grace will much more abound." Sin is ugly. But Christ is glorious.</description>

      <title>The Blessing of Full Assurance (sermon 2023)</title>
      <link>None/716261320586060</link>
      <description>1 John 5:13 reveals the purpose for which the apostle wrote his first letter: "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." Again emphasising that the Scriptures are written by the Holy Ghost for our profit, and to be received as such, Spurgeon then gets closer to his text. Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, John has written with a particular purpose, and this is a purpose which we ought to pursue. The bulk of the sermon is given over the first heading, as the same Spirit who gave the Word carries along its preacher, exploring the assurance of the believer in connection with the faith which is in the believer's heart. This being thoroughly established, Spurgeon also insists that we ought to follow up on John's purpose. If the apostle so wrote, we ought not to neglect what he has said, and the direction he has given, but rather to rejoice in the prospect and engage in the pursuit of this assurance. It is a rich sermon, doctrinally careful and experimentally full, with a practical edge.</description>

      <title>The Infallibility of Scripture (sermon 2013)</title>
      <link>None/710262139374497</link>
      <description>There are a number of sermons which touch on this topic, or deal with it directly, during this season of Spurgeon's ministry. It is not a change of emphasis so much as a change of tone. He often, throughout his ministry, celebrates the reliability and clarity of the Word of the Lord. In the background here, though, is the Downgrade Controversy, the increasing theological liberalisation of Christianity, revealing where real faith and mere nominalism divide. That context means that some of Spurgeon's sermons, while remaining essentially pastoral, also become more polemical. Some take on an edge, as this one does, as the preacher considers what it means that "the mouth of the Lord has spoken it." This is our warrant for teaching scriptural truth; this is the claim of God's Word upon your attention; this gives to the Word of God its distinct character; this makes the truth of Scripture a ground of great alarm to many; and, this makes the Word of God the reason and the rest of our faith. While there is conviction to establish and comfort the child of God, so there is a persistent resistance to and assault upon the errors that were becoming current, and sadly remain so, undermining the confidence that we may and must have in the Scriptures as the breathed-out and written-down Word of God.</description>

      <title>Job Among the Ashes (sermon 2009)</title>
      <link>None/71262237355537</link>
      <description>A thoroughly experimental sermon, in which Spurgeon takes Job as something of a template for all believers, suggesting that Job was favoured (as others may sometimes be) with particularly vivid impressions of God, some striking sense of his majesty and the glory of his perfections. Such views of the Lord truly make an impression upon us, bringing us low in ourselves. This is no generic sense of lowness, according to Spurgeon, but rather a profound consciousness of sin, which in turn leads to a heartfelt repentance, which our preacher unpacks in some detail. Here, particularly, Spurgeon brings the truth of God's Word close to home, pressing it into your hearts, and asking how we hope to deal with God if such a man as Job was so profoundly humbled by this glimpse of his glory. Of course, his answer lies in the righteousness of Christ alone, by whom only we can stand accepted before God, our sins put away and a righteousness established for us in which God himself delights. Incidentally, it might be worth a glance at the texts read before Scripture noted, as usual, at the end of this sermon. Usually, it would be a chapter, or a portion of one. On this occasion, it is the bulk of two chapters, with a selection from two others. If nothing else, this reminds us that Spurgeon is conscious of the broader context of the texts which he preaches, and seeks to situate each sermon within the broad sweep of Scripture, the book in question, and the immediate scope of the text itself.</description>

    <itunes:summary>A thoroughly experimental sermon, in which Spurgeon takes Job as something of a template for all believers, suggesting that Job was favoured (as others may sometimes be) with particularly vivid impressions of God, some striking sense of his majesty and the glory of his perfections. Such views of the Lord truly make an impression upon us, bringing us low in ourselves. This is no generic sense of lowness, according to Spurgeon, but rather a profound consciousness of sin, which in turn leads to a heartfelt repentance, which our preacher unpacks in some detail. Here, particularly, Spurgeon brings the truth of God's Word close to home, pressing it into your hearts, and asking how we hope to deal with God if such a man as Job was so profoundly humbled by this glimpse of his glory. Of course, his answer lies in the righteousness of Christ alone, by whom only we can stand accepted before God, our sins put away and a righteousness established for us in which God himself delights. Incidentally, it might be worth a glance at the texts read before Scripture noted, as usual, at the end of this sermon. Usually, it would be a chapter, or a portion of one. On this occasion, it is the bulk of two chapters, with a selection from two others. If nothing else, this reminds us that Spurgeon is conscious of the broader context of the texts which he preaches, and seeks to situate each sermon within the broad sweep of Scripture, the book in question, and the immediate scope of the text itself.</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Religion &amp; Spirituality</itunes:keywords></item>

      <title>Number Two-thousand; or, Healing by the Stripes of Jesus (sermon 2000)</title>
      <link>None/62626541126845</link>
      <description>This sermon is numerically significant on several levels. It is the two thousandth sermon, the last sermon of Volume XXXIII in the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, and a sermon prepared to be read on the first day of the year of 1888. As so often with these 'major marker' sermons (ones that break through particular numerical boundaries), and all the more so when those markers are loaded up like this, Spurgeon deliberately returns to the very core of his ministry and the delight of his own soul—the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. The sermon is itself is of the utmost simplicity, as Spurgeon seeks to come to the text, and to come at the congregation. He shows how, in the verse in question, God treats sin as a disease and provides a cure for that disease in the stripes of the Lord Christ, a disease which is immediately and completely effective wherever it is applied. In truth, Spurgeon never strays very far from this theme, but an occasion like this makes it all the more imperative for him to state once more the touchstone of his ministry.</description>

      <title>When Christians Disagree</title>
      <link>None/621262223496781</link>
      <description>Sermon: When Christians Disagree Text: Romans 14:1-12 Speaker: Pastor Jason Van Bemmel In this sermon on Romans 14:1-12, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel explores how believers should navigate secondary disagreements and matters of conscience. Opening with a fascinating historical anecdote about a dispute between famous 19th-century preachers Charles Spurgeon and Dr. George F. Pentecost, the message demonstrates how Christians can hold very different personal convictions while maintaining true friendship and ministry partnership. Short Summary Outline:  Introduction: The Reality of Disagreement • Dr. George F. Pentecost publicly shared that he gave up smoking cigars, viewing it as a "little sin".  • Charles Spurgeon, a cigar smoker, responded that without a clear biblical command, he could enjoy a cigar to the glory of God.  I. Welcome One Another Without Contempt • In the Roman church, returning Jewish believers (the "weak in faith") and Gentile Christians clashed over Old Testament dietary laws and holy days.  • Paul commands believers to welcome one another without quarreling over non-biblical opinions, because God has already welcomed them both.  II. Remember Who is Actually in Charge • We must not judge the conscience-bound choices of other believers because Jesus is their Master.  • This call for positive tolerance applies only to extra-biblical convictions, not obvious sins like sexual immorality, greed, or laziness.  III. Prepare for Your Own Judgment • Judging others leads to the false measurement of comparing our holiness to theirs.  • Believers will face a "stewardship judgment" regarding their time and opportunities, but they face zero condemnation because Jesus</description>

      <title>The Heart—A Gift for God (sermon 1995)</title>
      <link>None/622261142161592</link>
      <description>This briefer sermon is 'intended for reading', which usually indicates a sick man writing or editing a previous address for distribution. Brevity here does not undermine simplicity, clarity, or pungency! The text is short: "My son, give me your heart." The sermon is straightforward, looking at the love which lies behind the request for wisdom, then at the wisdom which guides the loving request, and then a pressing application to be wise by attending to this wise admonition. Here the more practical elements of the sermon come to the fore, although—as we often see with Spurgeon—he usually sows fruitful seeds of thought along the way, quite apart from any more formal element of application. The last paragraph confirms our earlier expectations as well as informing our understanding: the sermon is an 'occasional address' (delivered on a specific occasion), in this case an appeal for funds for hospitals (when such were typically privately and charitably supported). Now we know not only when the address came, but we appreciate more fully why Spurgeon has been pressing for the heart—because once our heavenly Father has our heart, he has our hands, too, in cheerful dispensation of our good things. In addition, the final appeal is pleasingly quirky—before the plate is being passed round for the collection of money, Spurgeon passes around his own invisible plate, for the collection of hearts.</description>

      <title>Bunhill Fields Burial Grounds</title>
      <link>None/61526180121839</link>
      <description>This video uses the historic London cemetery of Bunhill Fields as a living tapestry to illustrate the enduring impact of faithful, often uncelebrated, Christian ministry across generations. Through the graves of influential figures like John Bunyan, John Owen, William Blake, and the Wesleys, the message underscores how God often raises up humble, dedicated servants—particularly young and unheralded ones—to carry forward His work with lasting influence. The narrative highlights a recurring pattern: the most transformative eras in church history have often followed the model of investing in young, passionate leaders rather than seeking fame or celebrity. The contrast between the church's golden age under C.H. Spurgeon—a young pastor chosen for faithfulness rather than reputation—and its subsequent decline after seeking star power serves as a sobering reminder of the value of spiritual maturity over cultural prominence. Ultimately, the sermon calls the church to prioritize faithful stewardship, continuity, and the quiet power of godly character over the allure of celebrity, drawing strength from the legacy of those who lived and died in faithful service.</description>

      <title>A Sermon for the Time Present (sermon 1990)</title>
      <link>None/612261042267779</link>
      <description>By October of 1887 the Downgrade Controversy—the battle against doctrinal decay in the professing church of Christ—was in full swing. Letters had appeared in The Sword and the Trowel over the previous months, and Spurgeon himself had entered the fray through August and into September. The sermon which we consider today is clearly the fruit of that conflict, with Spurgeon feeling "as if the text had been newly written for the present occasion, for it is in every syllable most suitable to the immediate crisis." That text is Zephaniah 3:16–18, where the Lord calls his people to faithful labour and promises his saving and succouring mercies to them. Spurgeon handles the text by looking at the present trials of God's people, the glorious consolation which they have in the midst of those trials, and the brave conduct which ought to characterise them in the face of those trials. Many of us see the unhappy inheritance of the theological liberalism which took root at the end of the nineteenth century. While we may not be of the generation which saw the downgrade, we can—if we continue to heed Spurgeon's call to arms—be a generation which seeks to recover some of the lost ground.</description>

      <title>Folly of Unbelief (sermon 1980)</title>
      <link>None/612261043118095</link>
      <description>It is by no means deliberate that the last few sermons have not had the 'classic' Spurgeon three point structure, but I hope that it at least undermines the weary assertion that this preacher 'invariably' has three points. This sermon has an interesting balance, because it has two main divisions but is still divided into thirds. The sermon finds us on the Emmaus road, with two disciples who are thinking foolishly, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." Spurgeon is blunt and forceful in dealing with this matter. Speaking first to the true believer, he asserts, first, that unbelief is folly, and, second, that unbelief arises from slowness of heart. The preacher simply explores those two assertions arising from the text, analysing and anatomising our dull hearts. He closes that portion of the sermon with an encouragement—that slowness of heart is not the same as hardness of heart, and that those who weary of their doubts should abandon them for the faith that not only saves but also secures. Then, with that element of the sermon concluded, Spurgeon asks his believing congregation to pray as he speaks directly to the unconverted. The last third of the sermon is a sustained plea to those who do not yet believe, seeking to expose and to correct the folly and dullness that grips such hearts, concluding with warnings and pleadings. The sermon is striking in its directness and in the arrangement which serves as a vehicle for that direct address, looking first the doubting believer and then the unbeliever in the eye with affection and concern, and speaking to the soul.</description>

      <itunes:subtitle>C. H. Spurgeon - From the heart of Spurgeon</itunes:subtitle>
    <itunes:summary>It is by no means deliberate that the last few sermons have not had the 'classic' Spurgeon three point structure, but I hope that it at least undermines the weary assertion that this preacher 'invariably' has three points. This sermon has an interesting balance, because it has two main divisions but is still divided into thirds. The sermon finds us on the Emmaus road, with two disciples who are thinking foolishly, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." Spurgeon is blunt and forceful in dealing with this matter. Speaking first to the true believer, he asserts, first, that unbelief is folly, and, second, that unbelief arises from slowness of heart. The preacher simply explores those two assertions arising from the text, analysing and anatomising our dull hearts. He closes that portion of the sermon with an encouragement—that slowness of heart is not the same as hardness of heart, and that those who weary of their doubts should abandon them for the faith that not only saves but also secures. Then, with that element of the sermon concluded, Spurgeon asks his believing congregation to pray as he speaks directly to the unconverted. The last third of the sermon is a sustained plea to those who do not yet believe, seeking to expose and to correct the folly and dullness that grips such hearts, concluding with warnings and pleadings. The sermon is striking in its directness and in the arrangement which serves as a vehicle for that direct address, looking first the doubting believer and then the unbeliever in the eye with affection and concern, and speaking to the soul.</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Religion &amp; Spirituality</itunes:keywords></item>

      <title>The Covenanter (sermon 1975)</title>
      <link>None/528261832167125</link>
      <description>"All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies." So writes the man of God in Psalm 25:10, and so preaches the servant of God in this sermon. In another simply structured sermon—remember, Spurgeon deliberately seeks to avoid complexity—he first paints the portrait of the covenanter, the man who keeps the covenant and testimonies of the Lord. As you might imagine, the preacher takes the opportunity to portray a truly Christian man, one thoroughly persuaded of his own sin and misery, but equally delighted with the provision God has made in Christ Jesus for sinners, and so committed to the Saviour and to the way of the righteous. But the man is no static saint: he walks that road, and find it to be paved with mercy and truth, not so much on his account, but on the Lord's. Spurgeon emphasises that this is the way by which the Lord draws near to the covenanting man, and these are the blessings which he showers upon him. Thus the experience described is less that of the covenanter seeking the Lord, and more the Lord favouring the covenanter. So the preacher both encourages the saint to keep God's covenant and testimonies, and challenges the sinner as to the misery and emptiness of life without God.</description>

      <title>Salvation To The Uttermost - C. H. Spurgeon</title>
      <link>None/52826221387251</link>
      <description>The sermon, rooted in Hebrews 7:25, proclaims the boundless sufficiency of Christ to save all who come to God through Him, emphasizing that salvation is uniquely revealed in Scripture and not found in creation or human effort. It calls for a genuine, wholehearted surrender to God—rejecting mere religious formalism, self-righteousness, or half-hearted devotion—and insists that true coming to God must be through Jesus Christ alone, as the exclusive mediator. The central message affirms that Christ's saving power extends to the uttermost, encompassing even the most grievous sinners, those hardened by repeated rejection, and those in despair, because He ever lives to intercede for His people. The sermon concludes with a solemn warning against the unpardonable sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit and a heartfelt appeal for repentance and faith, underscoring God's infinite mercy and the believer's assurance of eternal security through Christ's perpetual intercession.</description>

      <title>The Destroyer Destroyed - C. H. Spurgeon</title>
      <link>None/52626240355761</link>
      <description>The sermon centers on the redemptive victory of Jesus Christ over death and the devil, asserting that through His death and resurrection, Christ has utterly destroyed the devil's power over death, which the enemy had exploited as his greatest triumph. It explores three ways this power was exercised—fear of annihilation, guilt over sin, and despair in the face of death—each of which Christ nullifies by His resurrection, atonement, and enduring presence. The preacher emphasizes that Christ's victory extends beyond the hour of death, dismantling the devil's influence in all areas of life, rendering his temptations ineffective for believers who trust in Christ's finished work. The message offers profound comfort to the grieving, affirming that death is not separation but a passage to eternal fellowship with Christ, while issuing a sobering call to unbelievers to recognize their need for salvation before death comes unannounced and irreversible.</description>

      <title>God’s Thoughts of Peace, and Our Expected End (sermon 1965)</title>
      <link>None/521261728155477</link>
      <description>The simple structure of this two-pronged sermon by no means provides for any shallowness. The bulk of the address is given over to a careful consideration of God's thoughts toward us, thoughtfully mined from the text. In this respect, it is a masterpiece of exegetical clarity, simply considering the implications of the specific words of Scripture, allowing the phrases to have their full weight, and working out not only their obvious meanings but also their more subtle suggestions. The second element of the sermon considers our attitude toward God in the light of his thoughts toward us, and here the tone is more applicatory, wisely suggesting how divine truth calls forth an appropriate response. There are no real verbal fireworks, no sustained flights of soaring rhetoric. Rather, we have sweet and solid gospel logic that carries us smoothly and forcefully toward the ultimate purposes that God in his mercy has for his beloved people.</description>

      <title>The Watchword for To-day: “Stand Fast” (sermon 1959)</title>
      <link>None/513261811337776</link>
      <description>The apostle Paul had a holy dread of the Philippians sliding away from the faith of Jesus Christ. Spurgeon says he does not doubt the victory, but neither would he have it lost. Being "in the Lord," these believers are in their right place, and Spurgeon explains what that means for the Philippians and for others who have entrusted themselves to Jesus Christ. Furthermore, they need to keep their right place. If they are in the Lord, then that is where they need to "stand fast," in faith, in life, in experience, in holiness, without wearying or warping or wandering. But it is all very well to exhort a saint to stand fast—how is he or she to do so? What motives enable and sustain such endurance in the faith? Spurgeon often challenges us in the light of particular encouragements, or encourages us in the light of particular challenges: here he does the latter, reminding us of our citizenship in heaven, our expectation of Christ's return and our transformation, and the resources at our disposal in this pilgrimage. So, with our eyes firmly fixed on Christ and the fulness that is in him, we press toward the prize, holding firmly to Christ and his truth, standing fast in the Lord.</description>

      <title>Mother's Day</title>
      <link>None/510261740482714</link>
      <description>The sermon centers on the foundational role of the family, particularly mothers, in shaping individuals and society, drawing from biblical wisdom in Proverbs and the lives of faithful women like the mother of Lemuel and Eunice. It contrasts God's design for the family as a divinely ordained institution with the secular critique of Karl Marx, who sought to dismantle the nuclear family in favor of state control, highlighting the dangerous consequences of such ideologies. Through powerful examples—from the Canaanite woman's faith to the prayers of mothers like Spurgeon's and Wesley's—the message emphasizes that parenting is not merely a duty but a sacred responsibility requiring spiritual dependence, personal example, and relentless prayer. The sermon warns against both neglect and idolatry of children, urging parents to model excellence, prioritize faith, and bring their children's struggles directly to Christ, the only true source of transformation. Ultimately, it calls for a renewed commitment to godly instruction, personal holiness, and trust in Christ's power to heal and restore, even in the face of failure.</description>

      <title>Earthquake, but not Heartquake (sermon 1950)</title>
      <link>None/513261744433968</link>
      <description>After a brief survey of the ways in which Psalm has been a blessing to true believers through the century, Spurgeon tells us how he intends to use it—to speak on the confidence of the saints, on the courage with grows from that confidence, and the way in which that courage will be tested. Each of those three points hangs upon an element of his text. However, in the background of the whole sermon hangs the fact of the Ligurian earthquake, with an associated tsunami, which struck northern Italy and the French Riviera (including Spurgeon's beloved Mentone) a few days earlier. It was a significant enough event to mean that the thought of the shaking earth and the roaring seas would have been close to the minds of the preacher's congregation, increasing their interest and the impact of the truth on their souls. It is, then, not only a fine example of a sermon well-grounded in a text, but also of a sermon which takes account of current events, and uses them to draw the attention of the hearers to eternal truths.</description>

      <itunes:subtitle>C. H. Spurgeon - From the heart of Spurgeon</itunes:subtitle>
    <itunes:summary>After a brief survey of the ways in which Psalm has been a blessing to true believers through the century, Spurgeon tells us how he intends to use it—to speak on the confidence of the saints, on the courage with grows from that confidence, and the way in which that courage will be tested. Each of those three points hangs upon an element of his text. However, in the background of the whole sermon hangs the fact of the Ligurian earthquake, with an associated tsunami, which struck northern Italy and the French Riviera (including Spurgeon's beloved Mentone) a few days earlier. It was a significant enough event to mean that the thought of the shaking earth and the roaring seas would have been close to the minds of the preacher's congregation, increasing their interest and the impact of the truth on their souls. It is, then, not only a fine example of a sermon well-grounded in a text, but also of a sermon which takes account of current events, and uses them to draw the attention of the hearers to eternal truths.</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Religion &amp; Spirituality</itunes:keywords></item>

      <title>Failure does not need to be final (LEARNING From FAILURE)</title>
      <link>None/56261534113978</link>
      <description>The sermon powerfully confronts the reality of failure, betrayal, and perseverance in the Christian life, rooted in Jesus' call to radical discipleship and self-denial. It draws from Scripture—Luke 14, Hebrews 10, 2 Timothy, and the parable of the sower—to emphasize that true faith is tested by trials, and that shallow commitment, worldly distractions, and self-centeredness lead to apostasy. Historical examples of faithful pioneers like William Carey, David Livingstone, and Charles Spurgeon illustrate how enduring hardship, rooted in Scripture and humility, produces lasting fruit, while the widespread failure of missionaries and believers throughout history underscores the normality of disloyalty and the need for grace. The central message is that failure need not be final: through repentance, restoration, and reliance on Christ's grace, even those who have fallen can be restored, as seen in the redemption of John Mark. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, persevere in faith, and embrace the cross, knowing that steadfastness is not natural but a work of God's grace, and that the true measure of a life is not success, but faithfulness to the end.

      <title>Amazing Mercy - David Gay</title>
      <link>None/5526215223592</link>
      <description>The sermon centers on Luke 24:47, emphasizing that the Great Commission mandates the global proclamation of repentance and forgiveness of sins in Christ's name, beginning at Jerusalem—the very place of His crucifixion. It underscores the theological foundation of this mission in the Old Testament, demonstrating how the Law, Prophets, and Psalms foretell Christ's suffering, resurrection, and the universal scope of the gospel. The preacher argues that despite the world's sin and rejection of Christ, the most astonishing aspect of the gospel is God's grace extended even to the worst sinners, exemplified by the call to repent and believe, regardless of past guilt. Drawing from biblical narratives, hymns, and historical figures like Spurgeon and Bunyan, the message affirms that salvation is available to all who look to Christ in faith, highlighting the free, immediate, and unconditional nature of divine mercy. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling believers to prioritize evangelism as the supreme duty, rooted in the conviction that Christ's love and forgiveness are not earned but freely offered to every sinner who turns to Him.</description>
