Sermon of the Week: “Loved and Loving”

December 8, 2025

In December 1881, while recovering from illness in France, Spurgeon sent his church a sermon to remind them of Christ’s love while he was away. The sermon was titled "Loved and Loving."

Sermon of the Week: “Christ in You”

November 24, 2025

“Christ in you.” This is a mystery, yet this is how Paul describes the Colossian church and all who have put their faith in Christ. But what does it mean? Spurgeon shines a light on this in his 1883 sermon of the same name. “The gospel is the grand secret: the mystery of mysteries,” Spurgeon opens. …

Sermon of the Week: “Concerning Saints”

November 10, 2025

“I am no saint,” is a phrase often uttered by individuals reflecting on their past. They take a cursory glance at all the actions and choices they made and know that perfection is far from them. “A true saint wouldn’t act like me,” they may sigh. But what is a saint? Who is worthy of holding …

“It is a good rule never to look into the face of man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God; an equally good rule always to have business with heaven before you have any business with earth.” In this week’s sermon, Spurgeon issues a call to praise God for His …

Spurgeon and the Question of the Preaching Gown

October 31, 2025

This past Reformation Sunday, I had the privilege of preaching at a local PCA church. As a Baptist, it was wonderful to be with those saints and to rejoice in our common Protestant identity and convictions. But, as in previous instances, there was that awkward moment before the service when the pastor asked, “Would you …

Sermon of the Week: “Clearing the Road to Heaven”

October 27, 2025

Sometimes, for seeking sinners, the road to heaven seems blocked. They have heard a clear gospel invitation, and desire to accept, but objections bar their path like heavy stones. “I have sinned too greatly to be saved,” they reason. “I have not felt enough remorse.” According to Spurgeon, however, the gospel obliterates these arguments. Some may …

Sermon of the Week: “The Approachableness of Jesus”

October 20, 2025

To meet with the President, one must pass multiple layers of security vetting and background checks, not to mention convincing a plethora of White House staff that your request is important enough to warrant a meeting. Even many members of Congress can’t simply shoot the President a text. The earthly elite are closely guarded from …

Sermon of the Week: “Blessing for Blessing”

October 13, 2025

What does it mean to bless God? How is a believer to bless the one who is all-sufficient? By examining Ephesians 1:3-4, Spurgeon highlights the truth that all can bless God if they approach Him with the right heart posture. God doesn’t need our blessings, but He still desires that we offer them. According to Spurgeon, …

“My People Pray for Me”: How Spurgeon Asked His Church to Pray for Him

October 3, 2025

“Brothers, pray for us.” So Paul wrote to the churches (Eph. 6:19, Col. 4:3, 1 Thess. 5:25, 2 Thess. 3:1). Though he was an apostle, he knew that he needed the prayers of the saints for his perseverance and the spread of the gospel. Likewise, all ministers today need the prayers of their people. This …
