THE PREFACE:
It was
Charles Haddon Spurgeon who inspired The Beausejour Pulpit, my latest book project. Anyone
who has heard me preach before has no doubt heard of Spurgeon, for I quote him
often. This old Baptist pastor is affectionately referred to by many as The
Prince of Preachers. Allow me to share with you a brief introduction to his
life.
“C. H.
Spurgeon was to nineteenth-century England
what D. L. Moody was to America .
Although Spurgeon never attended theological school, by the age of twenty-one
he was the most popular preacher in London .
He preached to crowds of ten thousand at Exeter Hall and the Surrey Music Hall .
Then when the Metropolitan Tabernacle was built, thousands gathered every
Sunday for over forty years to hear his lively sermons. In addition to his
regular pastoral duties, he founded Sunday schools, churches, an orphanage, and
the Pastor's College. He edited a monthly church magazine and promoted
literature distribution.” (W.Y. Fullerton, Charles
Haddon Spurgeon: A Biography, quoted from www.spurgeon.org).
There are
many things about Spurgeon’s life that inspire me. He was a pastor who was
dedicated to faithfully preaching the Word of God, and I too am a Bible
preacher. One of the things that most inspires me about Spurgeon was his Penny
Pulpit series. Influenced by another preacher, he decided to publish
transcripts of his sermons every week, and in January of 1855, The New Park Street Pulpit was born. For
seven years, he published these eight-page, small print sermons. Once a tax on
paper was abolished, he began publishing twelve page sermons in larger type and
changed the title of them to the Metropolitan
Tabernacle Pulpit.
More than hundreds
of millions of his weekly sermons were sold, and since then, they have been
reproduced in numerous other ways. I have in my personal library several
collections containing hundreds of Spurgeon’s sermons, and they still inspire
me today. This is how The Beausejour
Pulpit was born.
In this
little book, you will find a collection of transcripts of ten of the sermons
that I preached at Beausejour
Community Church
over the past five years. In addition to these ten sermons you will find Foursquare Foundations, an examination
of our church’s statement of faith; Faith
in Focus, a collection of twenty bi-weekly columns I wrote for our local
community newspaper, and Proverbs: Wisdom
for Daily Living, a 31 day devotional journey through the book of Proverbs.
Be
forewarned: None of the messages in this book will win any kinds of literary
awards. They are raw and relatively unedited, but they are records of some of
the messages that I have shared with our church family in the first five years of
pastoral ministry in Beausejour.
The first
four messages will challenge you to seek after God in prayer and Bible reading.
The next two messages will encourage you to contend for joy in your life. The three-part
Origins series will answer some of the questions you may have about the
creation versus evolution debate including a consideration of dinosaurs. The
tenth message will introduce you to one of my favorite books of the Bible:
Revelation.
Although my
words are nowhere near as eloquent as Spurgeon’s, I pray that God would breathe
upon these messages and use them to inspire and encourage you in the Lord, just
as Spurgeon’s sermons have blessed me.
THE
BEAUSEJOUR PULPIT is a 200 page collection of faith building

Here's a look at each
of the messages contained in this book:
The
Beausejour Pulpit
By Chris Jordan
God’s desire is that this latter
day’s church would be greater in glory than the early church. It’s time to
contend for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our midst today and pray
for revival.
2.
Redigging
the Wells of Prayer
If we want to see the same power –
signs, wonders, healings and miracles – as the church in Acts, then we must
have the same priority of prayer as they did.
3.
With
Jesus in the School
of Prayer
Jesus wants to teach us how to
pray. When we spend time with Jesus in the secret place, prayer becomes an
exciting adventure.
4.
Church,
It’s Time to Grow Up!
God has given us an amazing gift in
the Bible. When we feed upon His Word, we will grow spiritually and become more
like Jesus.
5.
Fullness
of Joy and Rivers
of Pleasure
There’s something missing in the
church today. It’s called JOY. God wants us to experience fullness of joy, and
rivers of pleasure.
6.
The
Blessed Life: The Secret of Happiness
God’s desire is that we would
experience the blessed life – where we would be happy, supremely blessed; and
spiritually prosperous.
7.
Origins
#1: Creation
Is there more scientific evidence
that supports the Biblical account of creation or the theory of evolution? The
Origins series considers this question and more.
8.
Origins
#2: The Fall
If God is good, and He created
everything, and the original creation was very good, then why is there death
and suffering in the world?
9.
Origins
#3: Dinosaurs in the Bible
If God made the dinosaurs with all
other land animals and human beings on day six of creation, are there dinosaurs
mentioned in the Bible?
10.

the Mysteries of Revelation
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is
one of the most interesting books of the Bible. This message will give you the
keys to unlocking the mysteries of Revelation.
11.

Foundations

faith.
