The Powerhouse
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
“The memory of Charles Haddon Spurgeon has been cherished among evangelical Christians for over the past 100 years. Many Christian leaders consider him to be the greatest preacher England ever produced. He is commonly hailed as the "Prince of Preachers". Over 63 volumes of published sermons still bear witness to the richness and success of C. H. Spurgeon’s ministry. Though known as a great preacher, it was not preaching that made Spurgeon great. Mr. Spurgeon repeatedly acknowledged his success as the direct result of his congregation’s faithful prayers. "It has often been remarked that the whole church helped produce Spurgeon." When visitors would come to Spurgeon’s church he would take them to the basement prayer-room where people were always on their knees interceding. Then Spurgeon would declare, ‘Here is the powerhouse of this church.’" (Charles Spurgeon: Man of God No date, no pages)

Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014
In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).
