Abundant grace in the believer's life

Long before megachurches existed, nearly 6,000 people packed every church service to hear Charles Spurgeon. Discover why his masterful preaching astonished his time.

The praise for Charles Spurgeon's sermons is almost endless. It is a legacy of preaching that can never be forgotten and perhaps never surpassed. Considered by his peers the "Prince of Preachers," Charles Spurgeon will stand for many years as the epitome of mastery in the pulpit. Joseph Parker, another famous London preacher, wrote: "Mr. Spurgeon's career has proved that evangelical teaching can attract the largest congregation in the world, and maintain it for a time... The great voice has ceased. It was the most powerful voice I ever heard."

Spurgeon transformed the Metropolitan Tabernacle into one of the largest independent congregations of the 19th century. At the core of his passionate biblical exposition was always the abundant grace of God. This was the central doctrine around which his message and ministry revolved. Grace announces to man that despite all the truth about his person, God still looks at him with love. And this, Spurgeon said, "offers the contemplation of a fantastic panorama."

However, Christian history and personal experience have shown that it is very easy to lose sight of God's grace and fall into the clutches of religious legalism. The spiritual freedom we have in Christ will be fully challenged and can only be overcome by faith. Spurgeon's teaching will help you experience the superabundant riches of grace in its fullness and live under the tender Mercy of God.
