Faith Victorious - A Spurgeon Sermon on Persistent Faith

In this sermon on Matthew 15:21–28, Charles Spurgeon illustrates the power of steadfast faith through the story of the Canaanite woman seeking help for her daughter. Though she faced silence, discouragement, and apparent rejection, she refused to let go of her confidence in Christ’s mercy. The woman’s humility, persistence, and confidence in Christ’s mercy serve as a model for all who seek Him. Though she was an outsider to Israel’s covenant blessings, her faith made her a partaker of grace and brought the Savior’s commendation: “O woman, great is thy faith.” This sermon was preached on July 25, 1886, and is found in Volume 42 of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit. — SELECT QUOTES — "He could heal her daughter with a word, yet not a word did he utter; an awful silence filled the room as she waited for him to speak. But she did not give up in despair; there is the point, she still had faith in him, and when there was nothing for her ear to hear, there was still something for her heart to believe." — CH Spurgeon "Though your prayer grows shorter because you are getting weary, if it grows very intense, and you still keep on pleading, it cannot be long before a prayer-hearing Savior will give you the desire of your heart." — CH Spurgeon "He does love being trusted; and if the biggest sinner out of hell will trust him, that trust is sweetest of all to Christ." — CH Spurgeon — ADDITIONAL RESOURCES — ✉️ Subscribe to CHSpurgeon.com for timeless Spurgeon sermons delivered with the dynamic of live preaching: https://www.chspurgeon.com/subscribe/ 🔗 Visit CHSpurgeon.com for more resources from and about the Prince of Preachers: https://www.chspurgeon.com/ 🎧Purchase multi-sermon volumes of MP3 Spurgeon sermons: https://www.chspurgeon.com/store/ 📖 Purchase Spurgeon: A Biography by Arnold Dallimore: https://amzn.to/3WyuVa4 — About Sermons from CHSpurgeon.com — There are no existing recordings of CH Spurgeon preaching.
