Keep Up the Prayer Meeting Pt. 1

The congregational prayer meeting was a key component of Spurgeon’s ministry. He believed that prayer meetings were “at the very secret source of power with God and with men.” Apart from earnest, consistent prayer, a congregation should have little hope that God would use and bless their ministry.

Spurgeon always gave thought and planning to the prayer meetings at the Tabernacle. He once said to his students, “Do not go walking into the prayer-meeting, as so many do, to say anything or nothing that may occur to you at the moment; but do your best to make the meeting interesting to all who are there.” How did Spurgeon make his prayer meetings interesting? We see four examples of how he did this in the 1882 The Sword and the Trowel. In this series, we will examine each of these examples and draw a few lessons for pastors as they seek to lead their church's prayer-meetings.
