In “Is It True?” Charles Spurgeon preaches on Daniel 3:14, using Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s refusal to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, Spurgeon challenges every believer to examine the sincerity of their faith. He warns that following Christ will bring opposition, temptation, and opportunities to compromise and urges Christians to stand firm whatever the cost. Genuine faith, he insists, is more than an outward profession: it must be proven through obedience, courage, and loyalty to Christ above all.

This sermon was preached September 12, 1886 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle (Sermon No. 1930, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Vol. 32).

In “How To Become Full Of Joy,” Charles Spurgeon shows how true joy stems from a deep connection with Jesus Christ and understanding the truths of Scripture. While external trials and internal struggles can hinder joy, continual engagement with the Bible and a focus on the doctrines of salvation, redemption, and eternal life in Christ can restore and maintain it.

This sermon was delivered on September 17, 1865 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle and was originally published in Volume 57 of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.

"Compel them to come in" is one of Spurgeon's most passionately evangelistic sermons. Drawing from Luke 14:23, he speaks with deep compassion and urgency, warning of the dire consequences of rejecting Christ and emphasizing the eternal blessings of embracing Him.

Spurgeon's earnest call to sinners to respond to Christ's invitation reflects his fervent desire for their salvation and his unwavering belief in the transformative power of the gospel.

This sermon was delivered on December 5, 1858 at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens and was originally published in Volume 5 of the New Park Street Pulpit.

“What king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.” — Luke 14:31-32

In "Consider Before You Fight," Charles Spurgeon urges his listeners to count the cost of following Christ before making a commitment. Using the metaphor of a king who carefully considers whether he has the resources to win a war, Spurgeon emphasizes that discipleship requires sacrifice, self-denial, and a willingness to face trials. He warns against a superficial commitment to Christ, encouraging believers to fully understand and accept the challenges that come with true Christian living, while also trusting in God's provision and strength to persevere.

"The religion of Christ is the most reasonable one in the world, and Jesus Christ never desires to have any disciples who shall blindly follow him without counting the cost."

"My dear friend, will it not be a very dreadful thing to die when you are at war with God? If you could fight this out for ever under such circumstances as those in which you now are, I could not then commend the struggle, but since it must come to such an awful pause, since there must be that death-rattle in your throat, since there must be that clammy sweat upon your brow, O you will want some better business than to be carrying arms against the God of heaven in your dying moments. They that have God for their friend, yet find death no very pleasant task, but what will you find it, who will have to strike yourselves in every blow that you are aiming against the Most High, whom you have made, and continue to make your enemy. "

"There is no sin for which it is worth your while to be damned."

"Cast out your enemies and gods, and then lay hold on Christ, on Jesus Christ alone, and let him stand as Ambassador for thee."

In "An Earnest Warning about Lukewarmness," Spurgeon warns against the spiritual danger of indifference in churches and individual believers. Preaching on Christ’s rebuke of the church at Laodicea from Revelation 3:14–21, he shows that a church may appear respectable, organized, and prosperous while becoming proud, prayerless, and spiritually dull.

Spurgeon urges believers to repent of self-satisfaction, recover holy zeal, and return to close communion with Christ, who still graciously calls his people to open the door and enjoy renewed fellowship with him.

Preached on December 9, 1877, this sermon calls the listener to focus on Jesus Christ Himself as the sum and substance of our faith.

"Jesus Christ himself is our captain, our armor, our strength, and our victory. We inscribe his name upon our banner, for it is hell’s terror, heaven’s delight, and earth’s hope." - CH Spurgeon
