Considered by his peers then and now as "one of evangelical Christianity's immortals," Charles Spurgeon's remarkable expository preaching in the city of London during the 1800's was a revival explosion that is still felt today. With results unparalleled in England since the days of Whitefield and Wesley, Spurgeon's nearly four decades of ministry remain one of the greatest pastoral, evangelistic, social ministries ever seen.
Lifted up by the reviving and quickening power of the Holy Spirit, Charles Spurgeon's life and effectiveness was clearly rooted in this: his deepest desire centered in living a life of God-honoring Christian holiness. Exalting his Savior in godly living and preaching the gospel with power were his one consuming passion. Spurgeon believed that true happiness could only be found when we are free from the power of sin, when the gospel has purified our lives and we have a deep desire for holiness.
Personal holiness is dynamic, practical, available, and essential for every believer. Spurgeon's teaching will meet you where you live and help you discover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in your inner life.
C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
