    The Call of Abraham

    Spurgeon traces Abraham's call — what he left (family, homeland, settled comfort, known pastures), where he went (an unknown land with nothing but a promise), and how he went (immediately, cheerfully, without hesitation or conditions) — and holds him up as the model of a faith that acts before it understands, trusting the Guide rather than needing to know the road. He then applies this pattern to four situations his congregation would recognize: the new convert who must leave an ungodly family; the believer whose views on doctrine or baptism change and who must bear the cost of following conviction even among friends; the wealthy or well-connected person who must choose Christ over respectability; and anyone whose circumstances are suddenly overturned by providence and who must go forward into uncertainty. He closes with a personal application to his own congregation — then facing the loss of their meeting place at the Surrey Music Hall — urging them not to be distressed, since the God who gathered them will keep them together wherever he leads, and finally extending the image to death itself, that last journey taken without a map, where the only certainty the believer carries is that God goes with them. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on July 10th, 1859.

    An Earnest Invitation

    Spurgeon unpacks the command "Kiss the Son" through four progressively deeper meanings — a kiss of reconciliation that ends the sinner's rebellion against God, a kiss of homage that acknowledges Christ as king, a kiss of worship that bows before his full divinity, and a kiss of affectionate gratitude like Mary Magdalene weeping at Christ's feet — arguing that each aspect of this single command encompasses the entire movement from enmity to love, and that Christ stands ready to receive every sinner who comes with any one of these intentions. He then turns to the warning with thunder and urgency: Christ the Lamb can become angry, and when he does it is the most fearful anger in the universe — the wrath of the very one who is "mighty to save" — and even a little of that anger is enough to destroy the sinner forever, while death may come without warning at any moment, so that delay is not merely foolish but potentially fatal. He closes with the benediction as a second and sweeter argument: those who trust Christ are not merely promised blessing but receive it really, consciously, and increasingly, growing from the first ray of faith all the way to eternal glory — and he urges every trembling sinner to simply trust Christ now, since no soul that ever cast itself on Christ has perished, the door of mercy stands wide open, and the only qualification required is to feel your own need. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on July 3rd, 1859.

    A Home Mission Sermon

    Spurgeon argues that God keeps his people in this world for one reason — to do good to others and glorify him — and the ruling principle for that work is the text: do whatever your hand finds, meaning the work that is near and possible right now, not the grand scheme miles away or the imaginary ministry you would have if circumstances were different, and the moment you find it, do it promptly, wholeheartedly, and in God's strength, since procrastination robs Christ of today's service and listless half-heartedness is an insult to the One who gave everything. He enforces this with two great arguments: first, that death is nearer than we think and the grave ends all service — no second chances, no posthumous warnings, no deferred generosity — so that every hour of idleness or delay is an hour permanently lost; and second, that if we truly believe men are perishing in hell, our stillness is a moral absurdity, since no one who genuinely believed a neighbor was running toward a cliff would stand idly watching. He closes with three specific charges: parents must teach their own children while they still can, Sunday school teachers must give their whole hearts to their classes, and ministers must preach with urgency — and he holds up Whitfield's story as the model, a man who returned from death's door resolved not to go home until he could bring souls with him. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on June 26th, 1859.

    His Name—the Mighty God

    Spurgeon opens with a sharp defense of Christ's full divinity, arguing that those who deny it have implicitly accused every Christian of idolatry, that Christ himself spoke and acted in ways that make him either truly God or a deceiver deserving his condemnation, and that if he is merely a man then his crucifixion was a just execution for blasphemy and the entire Christian faith collapses into delusion. He then turns to show how believers already call Christ "the mighty God" in practice rather than just in words — by ascribing to him eternity, immutability, omnipresence, and omniscience in their hymns, prayers, and daily trust, and by treating him as Mediator and Savior, both of which roles require deity since no mere creature can bridge the infinite gap between God and man or be the legitimate object of eternal faith. He closes by tracing how Christ has proved his Godhead through history and experience: by standing sinless through temptations that felled angels and Adam, by bearing the entire accumulated weight of his people's sins without being destroyed, by shattering death's chains on the third day, and by doing for individual souls what no creature could — forgiving freely, bearing patiently, enriching infinitely — so that the only fitting crown for such a Savior is the one the prophet gave him: "the mighty God." Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on June 19th, 1859.

    The Scales of Judgment

    Spurgeon warns that every person—like Belshazzar—will one day be weighed by God and may hear the dreadful verdict, “You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.” He begins by showing that God weighs nations as well as individuals, citing the bloodshed of ancient Babylon and the persecutions in Piedmont as proof that national sins bring national judgment. Turning to the personal level, Spurgeon urges hearers to judge themselves now through several “preliminary weighings”: the opinion of honest men, the divine law—which exposes even the most respectable person as light as “the dust of the balance”—the scale of conscience, the scale of Scripture, and the scales of providence, whether adversity, prosperity, or temptation. He illustrates how adversity tests whether we can say, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him,” while prosperity often melts superficial religion like “the palace of ice,” and temptation reveals whether we truly resist sin or merely wear a mask of piety. Spurgeon warns that many professing Christians fear to examine themselves, like bankrupts who keep no books, and urges them to test their souls honestly before the final judgment. Only the true believer, clothed in Christ’s perfect righteousness, can step into God’s scales without fear, for Christ’s obedience and atonement give him “full weight” where the law would otherwise condemn. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on June 12th, 1859.

    The Believer's Challenge

    Spurgeon proclaims that a Christian can stand before heaven, earth, and hell without fear of condemnation because of four unshakable pillars of assurance: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ sits at the right hand of God, and Christ makes intercession for us. He explains that Christ’s death fully satisfied divine justice—“the black cloud of vengeance emptied out itself upon the cross”—and that His resurrection is the Father’s public receipt showing the debt is paid, the bond torn in two. Christ’s enthronement at God’s right hand proves the work is finished, for unlike the standing priests of the Old Testament, Jesus sits because the atonement is complete and believers are accepted in Him. Finally, Spurgeon exalts Christ’s ongoing intercession as the strongest argument of all, noting that the Savior pleads with “my Father and your Father,” presenting His own blood on the mercy seat as the believer’s unanswerable defense. With these four foundations intertwined, Spurgeon says the Christian may echo Paul’s bold cry—“Who is he that condemns?”—for no accusation from conscience, man, or Satan can stand against those secured by the death, resurrection, exaltation, and intercession of Christ. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on June 5th, 1859.

    Justice Satisfied

    Spurgeon takes up the convicted sinner's deepest fear — that God's own justice stands as an impassable barrier to forgiveness — and demolishes it by showing how the cross of Christ has not merely set justice aside but has fully satisfied it, so that God can be simultaneously just and the justifier of the believer: the dignity of the divine Son who suffered, the Father's willingness to smite his own Son in our place, and the infinite depth of Christ's agony in Gethsemane and at Calvary together constitute a payment so complete that justice itself now stands with the penitent sinner and pleads for his pardon. He then draws out the second text — that God is "faithful and just to forgive us our sins" — to show that justice has actually become the sinner's advocate, because God is bound by his own promises, by the faith those promises aroused in the sinner who acted on them, and by his obligation to give his Son what Christ purchased with his blood, so that it would be an injustice for God not to forgive a sinner who confesses and believes. He closes with two practical applications: confession must be personal, sincere, particular, and accompanied by making right any wrongs done to others; and faith must be a simple, complete casting of oneself on Christ alone — and he assures every such sinner that there is neither possibility nor probability of being lost, for God cannot demand payment twice for a debt already paid in full. Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on May 29th, 1859.

    The Wounds of Jesus

    Spurgeon meditates on the remarkable fact that Jesus chose to retain the marks of his crucifixion after his resurrection and into his glorified state in heaven, offering a rich series of reasons: they proved his identity to the disciples, they serve as the ornaments and trophies of his victory over death, they are his perpetual intercession before the Father requiring no words, they demonstrate that his priesthood continues unchanged, and they will stand as accusers against all who rejected him at the final judgment. He then draws three practical lessons from the wounds for believers: that suffering is necessary for every member of Christ's body since the head himself was not spared, that Christ's wounds are the ground of his perfect sympathy with every suffering saint, and that suffering is actually an honorable thing — the royal regalia of the kingdom, a blood-red crown of martyrdom — because Christ has made his own wounds into eternal glory rather than shame. He closes with warm encouragement first to the weak and wounded believer — that Christ took even his wounds to heaven and will not discard the broken parts of his body — and then to the trembling sinner who fears their sins are too great, pointing to Christ's outstretched hands and open side as proof that there is easy access to his heart, and the dying monk's final cry as the fullest possible gospel: Tu vulnera Jesu — "Your wounds, O Jesus!" Sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on January 30th, 1859.
