Praise for the Spurgeon Commentary series
The Spurgeon Commentary series helps you swim through the vast sea of Spurgeon’s sermons by compiling and organizing his brilliant sermons into a commentary. I hope more preachers, teachers, and students of God’s word will read and reap from the spiritual treasures overflowing in these Spurgeon commentaries. If you want more Christ-exalting, joy-inducing, text-illuminating comments on the Scriptures—stock up on Spurgeon.
—J. A. Medders, author and preacher of Christ
I am thrilled with the Spurgeon Commentary series by Lexham Press. The late Charles Spurgeon was perhaps one of the finest nineteenth-century preachers of the biblical text and his insights are pure gold.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon remains one of the greatest and most influential communicators of the word of God in history, and yet, he never wrote a commentary. To see his thoughts on a particular text during my sermon preparation is both immensely valuable and a profound privilege. I utilize the Spurgeon Commentary series every time I tackle a passage that Spurgeon has covered.

“The Lord must not only open the gates of heaven to us at the last, but He must open the gates of our heart to faith at the first. It is not enough for us to know that He must make us perfect in every good work to do His will. We must be taught that He must even give us a desire after Christ, and when this is given, He must enable us to give the grip of the hand of faith whereby Jesus Christ becomes our Savior and Lord.” (2 Peter 1:1)
“The more we know of God, the more grounds and reasons we shall have for enjoying grace and peace. The more we know of God and of Jesus our Lord, the more our enjoyment of grace and peace will be multiplied.” (2 Peter 1:2)
“There is indeed a blessed equality here, for the poorest little-faith who ever crept into heaven on its hands and knees, has a faith equal in value with the mighty Apostle Peter. I say, if the one be gold, so is the other; if the one can move mountains, so can the other; for remember that the privileges of mountain moving, and of plucking up the trees and casting them into the sea, are not given to great faith, but ‘if you have faith like a mustard seed’ (Matt 17:20), it shall be done. Little faith has a royal descent and is as truly of divine birth as is the greatest and fullest assurance that ever made glad the heart of man. Hence it ensures the same inheritance at the last, and the same safety by the way.” (2 Peter 1:1)
“The precious promises of our great God are expressly intended to be taken to him and exchanged for the blessings which they guarantee. Prayer takes the promise to the Bank of Faith and obtains the golden blessing. Mind how you pray. Make real business of it. Let it never be a dead formality. Some people pray a long time but do not get what they are supposed to ask for, because they do not plead the promise in a truthful, businesslike way.” (source)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) began preaching at the New Park Street Chapel in London at nineteen years of age. He gained instant fame, becoming known as the “prince of preachers.” The congregation grew during his pastorate from two hundred members to more than five thousand, moving to the Metropolitan Tabernacle in 1861. Many of Spurgeon’s sermons were published each week and regularly sold more than twenty-five thousand copies in twenty languages. Spurgeon also founded the Pastor’s College (now Spurgeon’s College), various orphanages and schools, mission chapels, and numerous other social institutions.
