Pictures of Life | A Spurgeon Sermon on James 4:14

With poetic intensity, he walks through Scripture's gallery of metaphors to reveal life's swiftness, uncertainty, and constant change.

Faith Victorious - A Spurgeon Sermon on Matthew 15:21–28

In this sermon on Matthew 15:21–28, Charles Spurgeon illustrates the power of steadfast faith through the story of the Canaanite woman seeking help for her daughter.

He urges his hearers to abandon every hope in their own merit and rest only in the righteousne...
