From the Heart of Spurgeon

"Christ Crucified" is a stirring sermon of striking tones which helped earn Spurgeon the nickname 'Brimstone' among the cartoonists of the day. After exposing the emptiness of religious formalism and arrogant secularism, Spurgeon makes clear that Christ and him crucified—the doctrines of sovereign grace—is God’s wisdom for salvation. We trace out the structure of the sermon, and aim to grasp something of the preacher’s fervour. Connect with the Reading Spurgeon Community on Twitter!

As we set out to read the sermons of Charles Spurgeon, we must take a moment to and consider the weight of the undertaking we are pursuing, and the best way to go about it. Read humbly. Read expectantly. Cry out from your heart to God to hear his voice and his truth in these sermons.

"The Immutability of God" is the first sermon in the New Park Street Pulpit collection. Spurgeon was twenty years old when it was preached, and had been serving in London for about a year, already attracting much attention by his ministry. The sermon, from Malachi 3:6, presents an unchanging God, identifies “the sons of Jacob” who benefit from his immutability, and considers the benefit they derive—that they are not consumed. Having outlined something of the majesty of the eternal God, Spurgeon drives home his kindness to his chosen people, and urges each one to make the most of the blessings the unchanging God holds out in Christ Jesus.
