Nineteenth-century preacher Charles Spurgeon may have surprised some when he delivered this sermon on the doctrine of election. Though predestination aligned with Spurgeon’s denominational beliefs as a Particular Baptist, it was still an unpopular sermon topic. Spurgeon tackles it head-on in this sermon, however, providing support from both Scripture and theologians who came before him. Contemporary Christians - whether they believe in predestination, free will, or some middle ground between the two - may be edified by Spurgeon’s bold discussion.
