This sermon teaches that Jesus Christ is the greatest gift in God’s covenant and fully belongs to every believer. Everything Jesus is and has—His power, love, sacrifice, life, and help—is given so people can trust Him, rely on Him, and use Him in every need. Because Christ belongs to believers, they are called to belong to Him in return, living faithful, obedient lives and inviting sinners to come to Him for salvation.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 31, 1856.

This sermon warns that some people claim to follow Christ but live in ways that deny Him. It explains that false believers focus on comfort, pleasure, and worldly success instead of obeying God, and this behavior harms the church and pushes others away from faith. The message urges everyone to honestly examine their lives, because pretending to follow Christ leads to destruction, not salvation.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 24, 1856.

Spurgeon preaches that after Jesus suffered, died, and was humiliated on earth, God highly honored Him by raising Him to the highest position in heaven where everyone—angels, people on earth, and even demons—will eventually bow down and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. Christians should find comfort in knowing that even when they face troubles and people mock them, their Savior is now crowned as King over everything, and the same God who lifted Jesus from suffering to glory will one day do the same for them. The sermon emphasizes that just as Jesus was exalted because He humbled Himself, Christians who suffer for Christ and humble themselves will also be honored by God, and one day every person will have to acknowledge Jesus as Lord whether they want to or not.

This sermon explains that when people begin to turn to Jesus, Satan often attacks them with fear, doubt, and despair to try to stop them. It shows how the devil twists Bible truths to make sinners focus on their guilt and weakness instead of looking to Christ. The message encourages struggling people to keep their eyes on Jesus alone, because Christ has the power to defeat Satan and bring peace and salvation.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 24, 1856.

This sermon teaches that poverty and wealth do not determine a person’s faith, because God’s grace comes from Him alone and not from life circumstances. God often allows His people to be poor to show His power, teach gratitude, strengthen faith, and give believers chances to show love through helping others. Christians are commanded to remember the poor by caring for them, praying for them, and giving generously, because serving the poor is one way of serving Christ Himself.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on September 25th, 1856.

This sermon warns that many people treat Jesus and the gospel as unimportant because they are too busy, proud, careless, or distracted by the world. Making light of Christ means ignoring God’s invitation to salvation and valuing work, money, or comfort more than eternal life. The message urges people to take Christ seriously now, because rejecting Him leads to great loss, while trusting Him brings forgiveness, hope, and salvation.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 17, 1856.

This sermon teaches that pride is a warning sign that leads to ruin, while humility is the path that leads to true honor. Pride has no real foundation, blinds people to their weakness, and has brought destruction to many throughout history, while humility begins in the heart and depends fully on God. When people humble themselves before God, trusting Him instead of themselves, God promises to lift them up in the right time.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 17, 1856.

Spurgeon preaches that Christians are "debtors" who owe a debt of gratitude to many people and especially to God—they owe thanks to Christians from the past who died for their faith, to people working for God in the present, and they have a responsibility to pass on the truth to future generations. He emphasizes that Christians owe everything to God's love, mercy, and grace, and since God forgave their sins through Jesus, they should humbly serve Him not out of obligation to pay for salvation (which Jesus already paid), but out of thankfulness for what He's done. The sermon warns non-Christians that they still owe a debt to God's justice for their sins, and they need to accept Jesus as payment for that debt before it's too late.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 17, 1856.

This message explains how the Day of Atonement showed that only one perfect sacrifice was needed to deal with sin. It teaches that Jesus fulfilled this picture by giving His life once, carrying away sin completely so it could never return. Because of His sacrifice, people can rest from trying to save themselves, draw near to God with confidence, and live with thankful, joyful hearts.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 10, 1856.

Spurgeon warns people not to brag about or depend too much on tomorrow because no one knows if they'll even be alive the next day, and making big plans for the future often causes people to waste the present time they actually have. He especially urges people not to put off repenting of their sins and turning to God, since waiting until tomorrow to get right with God is foolish—tomorrow might never come, or it might be too late. However, Christians can look forward to tomorrow with hope and joy rather than fear, knowing that God controls the future and each new day brings them closer to heaven, though they should still make wise preparations in the present without being anxious about what's ahead.
