Mr. Hayden points out that the key to the revival which arose under Spurgeon's ministry, and went on almost continuously throughout his long and fruitful pulpit career, is to be found in Spurgeon's autobiography. There, Spurgeon reveals and credits the membership of his new Park Street Chapel and their earnest, all-out prayer for his success in the ministry. This documented study of Spurgeon's emphasis upon and attitude toward revival will reward today's reader with insight into and understanding of our need for revival today--and the only source from which this revival can come. A prayerful reading of these pages could well result in renewed and revitalized Christian living among God's people today.
Here is a book which will enable us to re-examine the character and content of the message which fell with such reviving power upon 'the masses' in 1859.
It is fair to say that Charles Haddon Spurgeon is one of the best-known preachers in the history of the world. It is definite that he was England's best-known preacher for the second half of the 19th century.He took Christ as his Lord and Saviour in 1850 and just four years later was called to be the pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church. It was under his pastoral care that this Church outgrew its building and had to move to new premises. This new site gave rise to a new name, one that is renowned even today, the Metropolitan Tabernacle.We are delighted to present to you Spurgeon's sermons in this new series of publications.This book is the collection of 12 of C.H. Spurgeon's sermons, faithfully recorded and edited for publication. The subject of these sermons addresses the great need of the world and the Church today - Revival. These sermons form Spurgeon's teaching on the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. This theme is without doubt a matter that each Christian wants to experience and witness in our land today.It is our hope and prayer that these sermons will bless you just as they did those who listened to the 'Prince of Preachers' over a century ago. This is still a treasure of wisdom and encouragement for the 21st century.
A Revival Sermon is a message of meditation based on the Bible and written by one of the most important Christian writers of all time. A devotional message of faith and hope for you. Charles Haddon (CH) Spurgeon,19 June 1834 - 31 January 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist , defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. It is estimated that in his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people,Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later had to leave the denomination. In 1867, he started a charity organisation which is now called Spurgeon's and works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously. Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature.
MILLIONS OF MEN are in the outlying regions, far off from God and peace; for these we pray, and to these we give warning. But just now we have to do with a smaller company, who are not far from the kingdom, but have come right up to the wicket gate which stands at the head of the way of life. One would think that they would hasten to enter, for a free and open invitation is placed over the entrance, the porter waits to welcome them, and there is but this one way to eternal life. He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men? This is what I want to find out. Poor fellows! they have come a long way already to get where they are; and the King's highway, which they seek, is right before them: why do they not take to the Pilgrim Road at once? Alas! they have a great many reasons; and foolish as those reasons are, it needs a very wise man to answer them all. I cannot pretend to do so. Only the Lord himself can remove the folly which is bound up in their hearts, and lead them to take the great, decisive step. Yet the Lord works by means; and I have prepared this little book in the earnest hope that he may work by it to the blessed end of leading seekers to an immediate, simple trust in the Lord Jesus.He who does not take the step of faith, and so enter upon the road to heaven, will perish. It will be an awful thing to die just outside the gate of life. Almost saved, but altogether lost! This is the most terrible of positions. A man just outside Noah's ark would have been drowned; a manslayer close to the wall of the city of refuge, but yet outside of it, would be slain; and the man who is within a yard of Christ, and yet has not trusted him, will be lost. Therefore am I in terrible earnest to get my hesitating friends over the threshold. Come in! Come in! is my pressing entreaty. "Wherefore standest thou without?" is my solemn inquiry. May the Holy Spirit, render my pleadings effectual with many who shall glance at these pages! May he cause his own Almighty power to create faith in the soul at once! My reader, if God blesses this book to you, do the writer this favor-either lend your own copy to one who is lingering at the gate, or buy another and give it away; for his great desire is that this little volume should be of service to many thousands of souls. To God this book is commended; for without his grace nothing will come of all that is written. C. H. Spurgeon GET MORE BOOKS AT REVIVALPRESS.NET
