It is a tragic reality that most in the Western church have become more fixated on what transpires within the four walls of the church than on reaching the lost in their communities. And because of this inwardness, dire consequences have resulted with the neglect of the divine commission. According to a 2019 report, 9,000 churches in Canada are estimated to "be lost in the next decade", that equals "roughly a third of all faith-owned buildings in the country."

Produktbeschreibung
It is a tragic reality that most in the Western church have become more fixated on what transpires within the four walls of the church than on reaching the lost in their communities. And because of this inwardness, dire consequences have resulted with the neglect of the divine commission. According to a 2019 report, 9,000 churches in Canada are estimated to "be lost in the next decade", that equals "roughly a third of all faith-owned buildings in the country." This is nothing more than the eventual and inevitable result of churches forgetting themselves. How so? A church without evangelism is not a church, just as a church without discipleship and worship is not a church, all three manifold aspects, firmly established upon God's word, comprise the church's mission. Without these, what you have then is nothing more than a social gathering. The church is more than that, however, it is a rescue station, not a measly tea party, and how many have been more so the latter? In this collection of sermons by the "Prince of Preachers", Charles H. Spurgeon, you will find inspiration, instruction, and words of great edification for our divine task, to go out into this lost and hostile world to sow the seed of the gospel, the only gospel that has the power to transform and redeem.
Autorenporträt
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 - 31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. Spurgeon was pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later he left the denomination over doctrinal convictions. In 1867, he started a charity organization which is now called Spurgeon's and works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously. Spurgeon authored many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. He is said to have produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills are said to have held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.
