Sermons on: what great preachers actually taught

Search results are full of pages that guess at what a famous preacher said about a passage or a topic. These pages don't guess. Each one is built on what a preacher's own ministry and archive actually document and where the honest answer is “that sermon does not appear to exist,” the page says so.

Browse by preacher and passage or topic below, then read the passage itself in the section every page carries: a close look at what the text says, independent of who did or didn't preach it.

12 preacher-and-passage guides, each honest about what is and isn't documented.

Charles Spurgeon · Psalm 23

Spurgeon on Psalm 23

Spurgeon wrote a full verse-by-verse exposition of Psalm 23 in The Treasury of David and preached from it directly on more than one occasion, and because he died in 1892, every word of it is public domain and free to read in full.

John MacArthur · Sermons by Scripture

John MacArthur's Sermons by Scripture

MacArthur's defining project was preaching every verse of the New Testament, in order, from one pulpit, which means the honest way to find his sermon on a passage is to search by Bible book and verse, not by title.

John Piper · Spiritual Discipline

John Piper on Spiritual Discipline

Piper's teaching on discipline is inseparable from his central idea, Christian Hedonism: discipline is not duty for its own sake, but the deliberate pursuit of joy in God, because he taught that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

Grace sat near the center of Rogers' preaching at Bellevue Baptist Church for over three decades, not as an isolated topic, but as the ground beneath his broader teaching on salvation, assurance, and Christian living, still broadcast daily through Love Worth Finding.

Tony Evans · Spiritual Warfare

Tony Evans on Spiritual Warfare

Evans' teaching on spiritual warfare sits inside his larger, well-documented Kingdom Agenda framework: the conviction that God's people are meant to visibly demonstrate his kingdom rule in every area of life, which requires actively resisting a real spiritual opposition.
