Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” was very mindful of the need to avoid seeing Christmas as a merely religious holiday, open to commercialization and frivolity. Accordingly, throughout most of his extensive ministry he refused to alter his teaching schedule to fit in a “Christmas” sermon, as is so common today. Looking through Spurgeon’s vast teaching archive, we find only 19 instances in which special attention was given to the topic of Christmas. Spurgeon’s focus in these 19 sermons is overwhelmingly the who and why of Christmas. He marveled at the fact that God would send his only Son into the world for people who in no way deserved it. Christ came into the world to save sinners. That was Spurgeon’s focus 150 years ago. We need that message now more than ever. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

The song “The 12 Days of Christmas” is a mainstay of the holiday season, but the practice of celebrating Christmas as a twelve-day festival fell out of fashion long ago in most cultures. In Celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas, author Chris Marchand explores the history behind the season and individual feast days from December 25 to January 6, and then offers suggestions for how you can celebrate it with your family, church, or community. Along with this, he provides answers to many of the nagging questions surrounding the holiday, such as the history behind the twelve-days song, why December 25 was chosen as the date, and what to do about its supposedly pagan origins. The challenge before us is to first help people see Christmas as a holiday that begins, rather than ends, on December 25, and then to together figure out how to reinvent Christmas in the present by learning how it was celebrated in the past.

From the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, Bede's authority as a scriptural exegete was second only to that of the Doctors of the Latin Church. His influence was enormous. Yet modern readers associate this remarkable scholar-monk only with his History of the English Church and Nation and ignore the works he saw as his chief accomplishment. - Back cover of book 1.

Spurgeon examines the nature of “free will,” and uses the text John 5:40, “You will not come to me, that you might have life.” He observes: “The will is well known by all to be directed by the understanding, to be moved by motives, to be guided by other parts of the soul, and to be a secondary thing.” He puts forth the Calvinist doctrine that a person cannot come to Christ by their own means, but Christ must come to the person. He expounds on the nature of legal, spiritual and eternal deadness and how people are unable to overcome this by themselves. He then goes on to describe legal, spiritual and eternal life that is in Christ Jesus. This sermon has been updated to modern language.
