DRAMATIC READINGS

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Selected Readings
My Tribute to God’s Instrument, C.H. Spurgeon
Oh, to preach, to teach to reach the lost!
Such a man was C.H. Spurgeon, called of God,
Equipped and burdened to captain a ship in London.
No soul too far from Gethsemane’s shore,
That the word of grace – if only heard –
Would turn the tide and then wash up
a drowning man and sinner.

OUT OF THE PAST
A ‘Spoken Again’ Series of Selected Sermons
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
If you live within 100-hundred miles of Ashford, Connecticut, and would be blessed to hear one of C.H. Spurgeon’s sermons from your pulpit, David would be delighted to work with the pastor or sponsor to choose a sermon on a topic:
- that is deemed spiritually desirable and profitable for the congregation,
- or is consistent with the pastor’s current teaching from God’s Word.
As a para-church organization, Millpond Ink LLC/Quiet Corner Productions exists to come along-side the pastor and congregation in support of God’s ministry of the Gospel. Just give us a call: 720 483-0373, or email david@millpondink.com
ABOUT OUR READER
David Marchuck Barbour
David and Marion attend our dramatic readings – both attired in Victorian era garb. While David doesn’t look like C.H. Spurgeon, God gave David an engaging and sonorous baritone voice (as Pastor Spurgeon possessed), but most importantly, he prays to deliver each sermon in the fulness of God’s Holy Spirit – yes, the same Spirit who filled Pastor Spurgeon when he effectually preached from the pulpit to his congregation. While David will read each jointly-chosen sermon from notes, his commitment is to rehearse the material well enough to engage with God’s selected audience – regardless of number – and not be slave to the page.

In this short, you will hear Pastor Spurgeon’s take on the disposition of a sinner’s transgressions as a result of the efficacy of Christ himself ‘purging us from our sins.’
Hebrews 1:2-3
“His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds, who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Main Idea
Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to God? Embedded in these two verses, C.H. Spurgeon explains WHO JESUS IS, WHAT JESUS DID, and WHAT CHRIST NOW ENJOYS as a result of the work that Jesus performed BY HIMSELF on the behalf of sinners. After explaining these wondrous truths, Pastor Spurge – regarding the efficacy of Christ’s blood to save men from eternal damnation – he proclaimed: “O believer, if he has made an end of it, then there is an end to it, and what more can there be of it?”

Daniel 10:18
“Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.” (KJV)
Main Idea
Jesus was on earth a human being, and is presently in heaven a human being… standing and advocating for us at the right hand of His Father in heaven. Where else but in heaven – standing at the right hand of Father – can Jesus best comfort his people wherever they are on earth? Because Jesus is human, and died for us, who best to look to but to him for love and comfort during times of loneliness, doubt, disappointment in fellow brethren, our struggles, service unto God, and even as we near death? Christ Jesus is our brother, friend, husband and Best-Beloved. Yes, Jesus was and is distinctly God, but to approach God, we must go through the God-man, Jesus.
