The God of the Aged (Isaiah 46:4) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, May 26th 1856.
This sermon was preached again a couple of days later to celebrate the jubilee of his grandfather’s preaching ministry in Stambourne, Essex.
We must remember that Spurgeon is speaking here, at the age of 21, concerning God’s blessings in old age! I leave you to judge of his wisdom, which seems to me to have been way beyond his years.
Old age is something many fear. Here are solid words of comfort and exhortation. Notice how, by the end of the sermon, the preacher has in fact addressed people of all ages.
One thing is generally different now than in Spurgeon’s day. He speaks of the continuity of worship songs (6.05-6.45ff), and the joys of singing the same hymns in youth as in old age. This does not always happen in our churches today. Our culture is restless and thirsty for songs that are novel and new. However, with a sensitive leadership, there should be songs sung which are new as well as old. In this way no age group need feel overlooked.
