Sermons - Devotionals on Proverbs
by Charles Spurgeon
This page contains most (if not all) of the known sermons by Charles Spurgeon that were based upon a Proverb, all of the entries from his Morning & Evening — Faith's Checkbook devotionals, and his verse-by-verse commentary of Chapter 27. Since a good handful of Proverbs are quoted in the New Testament, we have also tried to include the available materials from those texts.

If you come across any additional items by Mr. Spurgeon based upon a Proverb that is not included here, please send an email.
