Compel Them to Come In
Dec 5, 1858 · 40 min
Spurgeon urgently compels sinners to come to Christ using every means available — declaring the gospel, commanding as God's ambassador, sharing his own conversion, appealing to self-interest, entreating with visions of death and judgment, and finally offering tears and prayers for the unconverted.
Turn or Burn
Dec 7, 1856 · 40 min
Spurgeon expounds Psalm 7:12, defining true repentance as actual, entire, immediate, and hearty — a hatred of sin itself, not merely its punishment. He demonstrates from Scripture and conscience that God must punish sin, then directs sinners to Christ alone for saving grace.
Effectual Calling
Mar 30, 1856 · 36 min
Using the story of Zacchaeus, Spurgeon expounds eight characteristics of effectual calling — it is gracious, personal, hastening, humbling, affectionate, abiding, necessary, and fruitful — demonstrating that God's sovereign call overcomes every barrier of sin, pride, and resistance to bring His chosen ones irresistibly to salvation.
Heaven and Hell
Sep 4, 1855 · 47 min
Spurgeon contrasts heaven's glorious rest and fellowship with the horror of outer darkness, urging sinners that sovereign grace saves the most hopeless while mere religious heritage cannot, and calling all to simply look to Christ.
