Sown Among Thorns! – C. H. Spurgeon

I listened to the following sermon a few times over the past week because Spurgeon described the thorny soil of the heart so well. For some reason, I have never read commentaries on this section of scripture even though I have believed it to describe my own heart.

In hearing Spurgeon’s specific description of that type of soil from Christ’s parable, I experienced conviction of sin; but as I discovered while listening to his sermon, conviction is necessary because it plows up the soil of the heart such that it can receive the seed of the word and produce fruit.

Hopefully, you will benefit from hearing his exposition this topic.

I was going to excerpt a section of the sermon, a 12-minute section running to the 12 to the 24 minute mark , but I decided to upload the entire 48-minute sermon.

SERMON HIGHLIGHT POINTS cover the initial 24 minutes of the sermon; these highlights leave out many connecting statements and illustrations that would be of benefit to hear; highlights are meant to give the reader a taste of the sermon so that he/she might determine if they want to invest the necessary time to listen and consider the entire sermon [emboldening and bracketed statements are mine]:

 

 

 

The above sermon is from the YouTube site, CHRISTIAN SERMONS AND AUDIO BOOKS. I highly recommend subscribing to this site, as it is full of biblical sermons and audio books from great preachers of the past; he also posts biblical sermons and teachings from our day.  If you study the Bible, then you will be edified and encouraged by the biblical content of this site.

The following narrative accompanied the above video at YouTube:

Matthew 13:7-9 New King James Version / NKJV: 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Sown Among Thorns! – Charles Spurgeon Sermon

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the “Prince of Preachers.” In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London for 38 years. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon’s which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon’s College, which was named after him after his death.

Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.
