Spurgeon, Charles 1834-1892

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around
10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel 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 after his death.

Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, 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 C.H. Spurgeon.

The Treasury of David (7 Vols.) Read Online at The Spurgeon Archive
Throughout history, the Psalms have yielded in Spurgeon’s words, “boundless profit and ever-growing pleasure.” The Treasury of David, a 7-volume commentary on the Psalms, captures Spurgeon at the height of his literary career. With hundreds of thousands of copies sold, these classic commentaries have informed and inspired generations of Christians who have studied the Psalms ever since.
The Treasury of David is one of the most comprehensive commentaries on the Psalms ever written, and Spurgeon devoted nearly two decades to completing the project. For each Psalm, Spurgeon offers verse-by-verse commentary, followed by detailed explanatory notes, quotations, and sayings for each verse. Each Psalm also contains suggestions for preaching and teaching, including illustrations, themes, and other tips. That makes Spurgeon’s Treasury of David more useful for pastors and teachers than any other commentary ever written on the Psalms.

Lectures to my Students (4 Vols.)
Lectures to my students: a selection from addresses delivered to the Students of The Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle (1877)
In Lectures to My Students, Spurgeon has written the ultimate how-to guide for preachers. This volume covers the basics of preaching, such as the nuts-and-bolts of choosing a text and composing a sermons. Spurgeon, the master orator, also advises students on the mechanics of spontaneous sermons and impromptu speech, admitting that such a talent takes time and effort. He also laments that pastors often find themselves out of place—“speckled birds,” in his words—unable to conduct themselves in ordinary social circumstances. This practical guide will be of enormous benefit to pastors and preachers.

Spurgeon compiled a second volume of Lectures in response to the overwhelmingly positive reception of his first volume. This volume contains detailed lectures on the role of the Holy Spirit during sermon preparation and delivery.

Third series of lectures to my students : the art of illustration : being addresses delivered to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle (1905)
Volume three of Spurgeon’s Lectures teaches preachers how to use illustrations and stories within their sermons. Preaching, at its most basic level, helps the congregation find their place in the narrative arc of Scripture, making storytelling an integral component. This volume reveals Spurgeon’s method of artfully integrating illustrations and stories into his sermons, along with other creative ways to make the text come alive. That thousands returned each week to hear Spurgeon preach testifies to the remarkable success of Spurgeon’s method.

Commenting and commentaries: two lectures addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle, together with a catalogue of Biblical commentaries and expositions (1876)
Commenting and Commentaries, the fourth volume of Spurgeon’s Lectures to My Students, has become one of the most widely accessed and cited reference works on Bible commentaries. Spurgeon judged too many sermons as “flashy, rather than fleshy; clever, rather than solid; entertaining, rather than impressive.” He pleaded for more expository preaching, and for more preachers equipped to expound the Word. Spurgeon compiled this volume of commentaries to help preachers select and employ commentaries for the study of Scripture and the preaching of the World.
Spurgeon was a voracious reader. During his lifetime, he read thousands of books and acquired familiarity with astounding number of commentators. This volume contains notes and background information for thousands of volumes of commentary on Scripture, along with detailed introductions to many of the most important commentators, including Matthew Henry, John Calvin, Matthew Poole, John Trapp, John Gill, Adam Clarke, Albert Barnes, John Kitto, John Albert Bengel, Henry Alford, and others. He also urges pastors to read diligently, and use concordances wisely. This practical volume is a must-have for pastors, teachers, and anyone seeking a guide to the countless volumes written on Scripture.

Sermons of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon; New Park Street Pulpit
The most widely popular of English preachers in the nineteenth century was without question, Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England, June 19th, 1834. Both his father and grandfather being pastors, young Spurgeon was raised in the knowledge and understanding of the Christian gospel; but it was not until a stormy January night in 1850 that he was converted. In August of the same year, Spurgeon preached his first sermon to a small gathering of farmers.
A year later he was called to pastor a village church; and in 1854 in his nineteenth year, he was installed as shepherd over the flock of the New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, London, later to become the Metropolitan Tabernacle. In January, 1855, Spurgeon published his first sermon, a practice which would not cease until 1916, twenty-four years after his death. During his pastorate at London, Spurgeon ministered to a congregation of almost 6,000 people each Sunday, published his sermons weekly, wrote a monthly magazine, and founded a college for pastors, two orphanages, an old-folks home, a colportage society, and several mission stations.
His body wracked by pain in the later years, and his ministry attacked by his opponents, Spurgeon continued to preach the gospel until his death in January, 1892. Now more than 150 years later his sermons are again gaining in popularity and we are pleased to present to you a number of his sermons read by Charles Koelsch in Real Audio.

Spurgeon's Sermons May 1858 (Sermons 191-196)
Librivox recording of Spurgeon's Sermons May 1858, by Charles Spurgeon.
Charles Spurgeon was a popular Baptist minister in London in mid-Victorian times; his ministry was highly influential and had a significant effect on many families in London and further afield. It was difficult to find a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd who wished to hear him. At times the Royal Surrey Gardens' Music Hall was hired to accomodate the Sunday congregation; this could seat 10,000 but large numbers were unable to gain admittance.
His world-wide heritage is very much with us today through the many chuches built, missionary work begun, children's charity founded and theological colleges established as a result of his ministry.
The sermons in this collection were preached buring May 1898 and published immediately at one penny (1d.) each. These were widely circulated and remain one of the all-time best-selling series of writings.

Farm Sermons (1882)
Agricultural metaphors permeate Scripture. In Genesis, we learn of Abel tending flocks and Cain working the fields. In the Psalms we read of God’s creation—plants, animals, and the variety of life. Jesus told parables of sowing and harvesting. Today, the church still uses such metaphors—planting the seed of the Gospel in the hearts of others.
Charles Spurgeon, keenly aware of the prominence of agriculture both in the Bible and in his own congregation, wrote and preached sermons specifically for farms. Farm Sermons contains nineteen sermons which draw from texts in the Bible on farming, harvesting, and working in nature.

Message to the Multitude is among the last of Spurgeon’s literary works. Spurgeon edited this volume during the closing weeks of his life, and it was published after his death.

Sermons in Candles
Spurgeon's most famous lecture series. There are two long lectures filled with illustrations drawn from candles. Spurgeon gave these lectures to show how easy it is to illustrate spiritual truth through everyday objects. There are two lectures, each in a separate file.

In Sermons in Candles Spurgeon explores the endless relationship between light and darkness—found in Scripture, and found in daily experiences. From the “the people walking in darkness” to God’s command to “let there be light,” these themes are pervasive throughout the Bible. Sermons in Candles offers Spurgeon’s thoughts on the metaphor of light and darkness, and contains a rich source of illustrations for pastors and teachers.
