Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) was the famous pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London in the nineteenth century. Under his preaching, the once-dying church was revived and became an engine for evangelism, pastoral training, missions, and church planting. But Spurgeon wanted to see more than just his church thriving. He had a heart to see other pastors equipped and churches strengthened. So in January 1865, he launched The Sword and the Trowel, a monthly magazine named in honour of those who rebuilt the city of Jerusalem under Nehemiah’s leadership. In Spurgeon’s day, as in ours, those who would repair the walls of Jerusalem need both the sword to combat error and the trowel to build up the church, and this magazine sought to equip pastors to do just that.
This collection of articles from The Sword and the Trowel provides a first-hand look at Spurgeon’s vision for ministry. In it, readers will find Spurgeon’s convictions on church structure, including meaningful membership, church discipline, and the biblical roles of elders and deacons; his practical teaching on pastoral ministry, such as sermon preparation, leading congregational prayer, and reaching the next generation; and his counsel for facing the personal trials of the ministry, from financial pressures, to the fear of man, discouragement, and much more.
Though written more than a century ago, these articles remain a source of wisdom for today’s pastors navigating the same perennial challenges. This volume is an essential guide for any leader labouring to maintain a faithful, Christ-centred ministry in the twenty-first century.
