American preacher Gardiner Spring spent 63 years ministering to his congregation at the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York. He initially wanted to work in law, but after his admission to the Bar, he felt called to the ministry. In this sermon, he defines human sinfulness, because “Next to just views of God, just views of the morally depraved character of man, are essential to the knowledge of divine truth.” Spring faces the issue of sin directly for the benefit of all Christian readers....

Nineteenth-century preacher Gardiner Spring left the legal profession when he felt called to ministry. In this sermon, he describes his belief in the selectivity of God’s grace. He argues against “the modern notion, that God saves all he is able to save; and that if any are lost, it is because his almighty power cannot convert them.” Jumping off from the example of Cain and Able, Spring makes his case for predestination.

Gardiner Spring compassionately draws up a chair next to ours and shares wisdom from God’s Word that will light candles of comfort, hope and meaning for our darkest hours of sorrow. He helps us build a th...

Gardiner Spring, a nineteenth-century American minister, did not shy away from preaching on hard topics. In this message, he takes on the inevitability of death, but he pairs it with the Christian assurance of eternal life. “Death is the foe of man,” he says, “but it is the glory of the Gospel that it teaches us how we may meet this last enemy with triumph.” As a former lawyer, Spring presents compelling sermons rich with Scriptural analysis—“Death and Heaven” is no exception.

Murray dispels common misconceptions about humility and helps unwrap its mystery in a practical and transformative way. He invites us to follow Christ into the deep, hidden fullness and delight of a life lived wholly dependent on God. “Nothing is more natural and beautiful and blessed than to be nothing, that God may be all…it is not sin that humbles most, but grace.”
