Charles Spurgeon



This past week I've been listening to many of Phil Johnson's sermons, and my absolute favorites (thus far anyway) are his talks about Charles Spurgeon. I would have loved to have met Pastor Spurgeon and attended his meetings! What a sweet man Spurgeon was... his enemies broke his heart which is why he died so young, at only 58 years (!) of age. I'm posting the links, mostly for myself to be able to enjoy them again and again, but also for anyone else to hear about God's greatest preacher (in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others too). I thought all of the sermons on this site were accompanied with transcripts, but unfortunately there aren't any for the ones listed below...however, the second one, "The Conversion of Charles Spurgeon", does has a transcript link to click onto which provides the photos which Pastor Johnson showed in a slide presentation while giving this sermon so it adds to being able to follow along and have the full experience of the teaching.




And this link has more sermons about Charles Spurgeon which I have yet to look forward to listening to.

    Thank you Lyn, that is great! I didn't know there was a Spurgeon movie, awesome! My DH loves Spurgeon, and besides having seen a quote here or there, I didn't really know much about him. After hearing the above sermons, I am all into Spurgeon!! :D

    I have been interested in Spurgeon for some time, but I haven't yet learned much about him. I will find time this holiday season to listen to the sermons. And I'll check out the movie link as well.

      Hi Leslie,

      I'm glad to see your comment. You haven't posted in a while so I was concerned. The sermons are wonderful. Be sure to also click on the transcript tab to look at the pictures that Pastor Johnson refers to in the sermons. The series is so sweet, and the movie too. What I got is a bit of a "vision" of how the Lord uses preaching as His true word goes forth from the true preacher's mouth, and ignites the hearts of the hearers and converts people through the "foolish preaching" of His powerful word.

      Hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

    Thank you Lyn! I will be sure to get to reading and listening to it :) Did you know that Spurgeon.org is Pastor Phil Johnson's website? He also has complete books written by Spurgeon there. ...I've got lots of reading to do.

    Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. :)

If a comment is mocking or otherwise unfruitful it will be removed. If a comment is completely irrelevant to the post it likewise will be removed. If the post contains an audio or video teaching and it is obvious that the commenter has not listened to the presentation the comment may (or might not) be posted and I probably won't reply.
