Sermon of the Week: “Morning and Evening Songs”

November 3, 2025

“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, …

God the Father is waiting with open arms ready to receive you as His adopted child, through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. Will you go to Him? Our blessed Lord Jesus Christ extends a simple offer of salvation. There is no need for pretense; no need for fixing yourself up. You can trust …

“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 …

Sermon of the Week: “The Still Small Voice”

September 29, 2025

“What are you doing here, Elijah?” God asked as the prophet huddled in a mountainside cave. Burdened, beaten, and broken, Elijah was at the lowest point of his life. He had just witnessed a spectacular display of God’s power. However, this exhibition did not spark the reformation Elijah was anticipating. Instead of a great awakening, …

Sermon of the Week: “The Alarum”

September 22, 2025

All who follow Christ for a significant amount of time will battle spiritual drowsiness. Our minds naturally drift to worldly pleasures, and our hearts grow weary as we face life’s trials. In this sermon Spurgeon wants to ring the alarm bell, stirring his listeners to awake from their slumber and praise God with renewed vigor. …

Sermon of the Week: “The Sheep and Their Shepherd”

September 15, 2025

If you were to compare yourself to a creature from the animal kingdom, would you choose a noble, majestic creature, such as the horse or the eagle? Or perhaps one of the strongest, most powerful beasts, like the lion? In John chapter 10, our Lord Jesus likens us to one of the more laughably foolish …
