Enjoy three timeless sermons in audiobook format as read (preached) by Tim Berends.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the 19th century. This sermon, delivered on February 4, 1855, is based on Matthew 12:20: "A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory". The message is one of encouragement, so that believers remain firm in the faith, trusting in God for strength.

Using plain language and word pictures, Spurgeon shares an earnest word for those who are seeking salvation. It has been written to show clearly how much we all need grace and how much grace is available for our needs. The writer would like to compel us, by his words, to come to Jesus Christ and receive that grace. A classic on a great subject written by one of the greatest preachers who ever lived.

In this sermon, Spurgeon argues that Christ's triumph over Satan through the cross and resurrection provides the believer with the foundation for victory and gives hope and encouragement in the daily battles. He argues that Christ died out of pity for the human race.

The clergy and ministers of all denominations, home and foreign missionaries, open-air preachers, Sunday-school and Bible-class teachers, tract-distributors, and Christians of all ranks will here find much that will help them to exercise that "all-round ministry" of which Mr. Spurgeon himself was so earnest an advocate and so bright an example.

In this sermon, Charles Spurgeon discusses the importance of trial, and the particular difficulties of the believer’s trial. He refers to Joseph in Egypt to demonstrate his thoughts about affliction.

The great preacher admonishes the flock about how to deal with affliction. They must not act in forced submission, like the ox or the ass or the Stoic. Neither ought they to receive affliction with a rebellious spirit. Least of all ought they to despair, for that would not be bearing the cross but lying down under it.

This sermon by Spurgeon is based on 1 John 1 and 2:1-11. He deals with falsehood, and warns against those who abide under the influence of sin. He states that the only safe recourse is for sinners to come to God as they actually are.

The 19th-century Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon explains the importance of atonement. He writes that the core of the Gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ. Spurgeon states that those who preach this truth preach the Gospel in whatever else they may be mistaken, but these who do not preach atonement have missed the soul and substance of the divine message.

The sermon of the 19th century Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon on Jeremiah 15:16. Jeremiah was a sensitive soul and delivering his message of doom caused him great anguish. Yet the prophet also found joy in the promises of God.

In this pastoral letter, Spurgeon asks the faithful to pray for him. He reminds them that such a prayer of petition must be blended with thanksgiving, and that gratitude should always be used in devotion.

This tract appeared in the August 1865 issue of The Sword and the Trowel. The Tractarian Movement of the 1820s, led by John Henry Newman, had initiated a drift toward Catholicism in the Church of England. This tract forms part of Spurgeon's response to that trend.

Delivered in a sermon on November 8, 1857, at New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, Charles Spurgeon argues with the unconverted to repent.

This sermon delivered on March 20, 1864, by Charles Spurgeon deals with the glory of God and with the role of the church.

This edition of Charles Spurgeon's sermon The Unbeliever's Unhappy Condition includes a biography of the Prince of Preachers.

Charles Spurgeon was one of the most prolific and influential preachers of the 19th century, an influence that extends into the modern age. His spiritual passion is evident in this moving sermon as he focuses on the primary message of the Gospel. He states, “With all our preaching, I am afraid that we too much omit the simple explanation of the essential act in salvation.” This sermon provides that simple explanation, detailing the simple steps necessary to what Spurgeon calls “the grandest act of the Christian’s life.”

In this captivating sermon, 19th-century preacher Charles Spurgeon urges believers to submit completely to the will of God. Why wouldn’t you, he argues, if you believe God is good, all-knowing, and wise?

Nineteenth-century preacher Charles Spurgeon may have surprised some when he delivered this sermon on the doctrine of election. Though predestination aligned with Spurgeon’s denominational beliefs as a Particular Baptist, it was still an unpopular sermon topic.
