Spurgeon Sermon Series

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 have thy sins, and go to hell?”Read by: Gavin Childress

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
