I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 13th of July, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Proverbs 27:17: ”As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Then we go to 1 Thessalonians 5:6: ”Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” We have a responsibility, don't we? Now, how do we keep awake? I heard this from C H Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher. He said one way we keep vigilant and on our toes, as it were, is through Christian fellowship. Do not isolate yourself, my dear friend, if it is possible at all, but have fellowship with one another, not just in church on a Sunday morning, or in a fellowship group on a Wednesday night, but all the time, wherever you meet someone. I had the privilege of speaking to a young man not so long ago. I met up with him. I was on a campsite right up in the northern part of South Africa, and as we started talking, he said to me, ”You know, I remember like yesterday, the big tent on your farm. It was a turning point in my life, sitting in that tent with thirty thousand men inside and another thirty thousand men outside, and how we had fellowship together and how we spoke about the things of God.” As I spoke to him, I was encouraged myself, iron sharpening iron, sparks flying, having a laugh, and maybe even a tearful moment, thinking about how the Holy Spirit moved in our lives together! That is what keeps you on your toes. That is what keeps you from becoming slothful, becoming sleepy, and not watching and praying. So when we had finished, we greeted each other, we prayed, and he went on his way rejoicing, and I was rejoicing. Why? Because we were having fellowship. We were not sleeping as others do but we were talking about our beloved Saviour and the miracle-working power that we find when we spend time talking about Him together.Jesus bless you and remember, if Christ is for you, there is no man that will stand against you.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

A Charles Spurgeon sermon, edited for brevity and clarity. First preached April 24, 1881.

Sermon by Charles H. Spurgeon preached on September 4, 1881.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 5th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 1 Samuel 1:10: “And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish.”I am talking about desperate prayer here. Hannah was desperate to have a baby. Then we go straight to the New Testament, Luke 22:42, Jesus speaking: “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”The Lord has laid on our hearts today - He wants genuine prayer from you and me. He wants us to talk to Him. He wants real connection with us. Desperate prayer, He can hear it. C H Spurgeon, the great English preacher said, “Homemade prayers from the heart are the ones that God wants to hear,” He says, “ones that the Holy Spirit helps you and me to pray. Broken words, sentences that are disconnected, God doesn't mind. Even sometimes, the words are so heavy, you can hardly speak them out. That's okay too, you can pray in the depths of your heart, but Jesus wants to hear them. You might say to me, “I am not very good at prayer. I can't pray aloud.” I remember like yesterday, in the little church where I gave my life to Christ, the minister said, “We are going to have a meeting on Wednesday, after that Sunday morning (which I will never forget), and we are going to come together in the evening, and we are going to form little groups and we are going to pray together.” So we went along that Wednesday evening, very nervous, Jill and I and the children, and we were put in a group of about ten, and the leader of the group said, “Now, we are going to pray openly." I had never really done that before. I was extremely nervous, and that man said, “Just pray what's on your heart,” so off we went. Halfway around the circle, there was an old man. I think his name was John. I could see by his face, John had been a serious drinker of alcohol. He had those war maps all over his face and he had been in all kinds of skirmishes but he had given his life to Christ, like Jill and I had, and all he prayed was, “Oh God, please help me!” A prayer of desperation. I will never forget that prayer and I believe God did help him.Today, speak to the Lord. It doesn't matter what it sounds like. He knows your heart.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

C.H. Spurgeon -A Divided Heart by RealCUF

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 6th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 3:11: ”But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” Then we go straight to the Book of Isaiah 6:8: “Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?” Maybe the Lord is speaking to you this morning, and to me, and He's saying that He wants us to keep on keeping on. He wants us to tell people about the soon-coming King. Jesus Christ is not coming soon, He's on His way I tell you! You've heard me saying that many times, and it's true. Folks, God used Moses. Moses was a shepherd, that's right. Yes, he had been in Pharaoh's court, but because he was a murderer, he ran for his life and ended up looking after his father-in-law's sheep, and yet the Lord called him to set the people of Israel free.The Lord uses whoever puts their hand up. Jesus Christ used fishermen, tax collectors, and tentmakers to do His bidding. “Why?” you ask. It's a good question. I've asked myself that question many times before. “Lord, why do You use nobodies?” I believe it is because He will not share His glory with any man. So when a man like Moses puts his hand up, or a man like Peter or Paul the apostle, or Matthew the tax collector, and they start to work for God and God uses them powerfully, people will say, ”It wasn't that man, that must have been God in that man.”I think of D.L. Moody, one of the greatest evangelists of all time. Do you know that he couldn't even speak properly? Do you know, he had no education? He was a shoe salesman. I think of C H Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, is what they call him - never went to Bible College in his life, spoke with a very broad English accent, an incredible man. At the age of twenty-one years old, they built the London Tabernacle for him to seat ten thousand people. Then what about Billy Graham? His only ambition, as a teenager, was to be a professional baseball player, but that man has touched millions around the world. He was a dairy farmer's son.Today, don't despise the call that God has put on your life. You might be living in a nursing home, you might be in a school hostel in some boarding school, you might be an airline pilot. Jesus wants to use you today to set His people free. Just keep telling them what Jesus means to you. Remember, it's Christ in you, the hope of glory!Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening August 19th 1888.This sermon is similar to The Two Yokes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au5Iy451QRA.There is an easy way to come to God; and a much harder way if we are stubborn and rebel against His holiness.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning 9th March 1890.Most sermons we hear contain some application. Perhaps there is an appeal to repent and turn to the Lord. Yet here we see Spurgeon, equipped with the promises and threatenings of Scripture, searching every room in the heart of a sinner. He seems familiar with human reluctance and refusal to follow the paths of God. Yet he is tender in his approach.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Thursday evening, October 29th 1885.Spurgeon shows us our need of God. The Lord alone can turn our eyes away from sin and give us life. He alone can work in us ‘to will and to do of His good pleasure' (Philippians 2:13). Spurgeon refers more than once to the words that Bunyan heard, when he was a young man, as he was playing a game of ‘Tip Cat', on the Lord's day, on the village green at Elstow, Bedfordshire: “Wilt thou leave thy sins, and go to heaven? Or have thy sins, and go to hell?”Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, February 8th 1857.Spurgeon was very gifted in exposing human weakness, and in pleading with sinners and saints. Here he begs us to get rid of everything that offends God, however hidden from others our sins may be. His expressions, when denouncing hypocrisy, are among the strongest which he ever uttered (14:57ff). Surely if everyone followed his advice here, our souls would flourish as they have ever done before.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Thursday Evening, May 23rd 1867.The preacher refers to David and his son Absalom. Spurgeon tells us of the terrible grief we can feel if our children grow up to reject God's way, and distance themselves from Christ. Then Spurgeon takes us on a journey. He leads us by the hand to examine the beauty and permanence of God's everlasting Covenant with His people. Such glorious promises should be to us a constant source of consolation and blessing.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Thursday evening, November 14th 1889. Here Spurgeon was about to embark upon a special week of mission and outreach. He shows the importance of God going before us, and our following after. David had to wait for “the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees” and so must we wait for the blessing of the Holy Sirit in all that we seek to do.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening September 20th 1885. Guile is defined as: “the quality of being good at deceiving people in a clever way.” (Collins Dictionary). Here Spurgeon gives his own view about deceit of any kind, even self-deceit. He shows the importance of straightforward truth in all things. [In another sermon Spurgeon elaborates further upon the subject of spiritual sincerity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG9kLIsjUGY Hear 26:23 at least to 28:28].Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, October 30th 1887.Some of us neglect the Minor Prophets; but here is a seam of gold found in each one. The verses before us are from the prophet Zephaniah. They speak of the delight that Jehovah God has in His people! He rejoices over them, and rests in His love for them.Spurgeon saw the application of this scripture to 1887. I think we can all see its relevance for today also. Our joy, our security and our hope are to be found in God alone.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, June 10th 1877.Spurgeon shows us that happiness in God is vital to holiness. If we inwardly resent God or His Word in any way, holiness will be impossible.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning December 6th 1857.Satan loves death. His influence introduced this alien trauma to our beautiful world. Here Spurgeon encourages us with thoughts of its defeat. How wonderful that the Lord Jesus overcame death, sin and Satan when He died on the cross.As yet we do not see Satan crushed. But, the day will come when he is overthrown.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day morning January 10th 1858.Here is an enlightening and stirring talk about Paul and his sermon before the Roman governor Felix. It is full of background history and information to help the listener grasp the current of Paul's thinking. How startling that the prisoner, Paul, is able, in the strength of God, to turn the tables upon Felix his judge!Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening, October 12th 1862. Here Spurgeon is preaching during the terrible Civil War. For that reason, he refers to the USA as the 'afflicted nation'. He imagines a citizen of Britain travelling to the USA, and being grateful, at that time, to belong somewhere else.We belong to heaven. This is an immeasurable comfort. Yet let us be aware that we need to be different from the people of this world!Read by: Gavin Childress

A Lecture delivered by CH Spurgeon.Spurgeon's personal library consisted of over 12,000 books. Many were rare folio Puritan and other works. Here he takes us on a tour of his commentaries. He is outspoken and objective as he weighs the pros and cons of each. He makes the point early on that we should take an interest in these books. He says: "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others."Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening, April 18th 1875.How refreshing it is to remember, not only that Jesus Christ had to suffer, but also to reign. More than that, Spurgeon reminds us that He reigns even here and now; not only in heaven, but on earth also.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day Morning, December 2nd 1877.The preacher considers God's infinite thoughts and ways with great accuracy, care and clarity.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening, June 16th 1878.Some of us imagine that, once we are familiar with Scripture, there is little we can be taught that is new. Yet here Spurgeon takes us into new pastures, as he guides us on a journey into three great characteristics of Jesus from Isaiah 55. Rather than taking three points, with one characteristic per section, he deals very intricately with each. As usual we are left with new insights concerning our glorious Lord.Read by: Gavin Childress

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, 12th June 1864.Spurgeon was never afraid to handle unusual subjects. Here he supposes that there could be a choice between the continued presence of the Lord Jesus upon earth, or the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The preacher seeks to show the infinite wisdom of God in choosing the latter course. We long to see our Lord, and to walk with Him; but while here below God communicates the presence and blessings of Christ through the Holy Spirit.Read by: Gavin Childress

In May of 1871, Charles Haddon Spurgeon contributed an article to The Sword and Trowel on the kind of ministry, and the kind of minister, needed by the churches, and how such ministers might be raised up.  Spurgeon's blend of sanctified common sense and discerning, even wry commentary on trends current in his own day will, it is hoped, stimulate thought on the sort of ministry the Scriptures encourage us to pursue and foster.   Featured Article: – 'The Ministry Needed by the Churches', C.
