"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the "Prince of Preachers". Charles Spurgeon was born in England on June 19th, 1834. Both his father and grandfather were pastors, and he spent much time as a youth in their libraries reading rich theological books. On January 6th, 1850, at age 15, Spurgeon was marvelously born again by the Holy Spirit of God, and began pastoring a small rural congregation when he was just 17 years old!
A big church in the city soon took notice of the extraordinarily gifted young preacher, and after a ‘trail period’ of sorts, asked him to become their pastor. Spurgeon accepted the invitation, and on January 7th, 1855 (5 years and a day after his conversion), he delivered his first published sermon as pastor of the New Park Street Chapel.
