Jeremy Hurteau Commemorative Speech Charles Spurgeon
Charles Spurgeon addresses sinners in the church
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the “Prince of Preachers.” This despite the fact that he was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, against liberalism and pragmatic theological tendencies even in his day. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10000000 people, often up to 10 times each week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later had to leave that denomination. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon’s which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon’s College, which was named after him posthumously. Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymns and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than CH Spurgeon.

Charles H. Spurgeon ~ Hope Even In Our Hopelessness From ‘The Resurrection Of Our Lord Jesus’ Sermon # 1653Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England’s best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London’s famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Is grace unmerited favor?
This is a short devotion by Charles Spurgeon
Spurgeon saw the direction the church was taking with the Charles Finney method of entertaining and eye-appealing preaching. Today’s churches sees the similarities of this in its emotional music during a prayer invitation, alter calls, hand raisings, light-hearted prepared jokes at the pulpit etc. There seems to be a lack of faith in this type of preacher; they don’t seem to trust that the word of God is sufficient, they feel the need to dress it up to make it more efficient. To them it would seem that God is not at work through the power of the word, therefore, it is up to them to make it ‘convince’ people that they are saved. It’s sad to see that these preachers’ main goal is to secure steady members in order that they may ensure their next rent or mortgage payment. There was a time when preachers only exposited the word of God without entertainment.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb 13:5-6) And while this promise averts from us the direst ill, it secures to us the richest possible blessing. To have God with us, — is there anything beneath the sky, is there anything above the sky that is a choicer blessing than that? To be with God, and to have God with us, is the very heaven of heavens; and he who hath this blessing here hath a veritable heaven upon earth. No other blessings can ever be compared with this one. No mirth of them that make merry in the dance, or of those who shout by reason of wine can ever be likened to the holy excitement and enthusiasm of a soul that is in the presence of God, and knows that it is there.” – CH Spurgeon You can download this audio and pdf text here: www.sermonaudio.com More of Spurgeon: www.spurgeon.org
