Storming the Battlements

Spurgeon compares the fall of Jerusalem’s false walls to how people and churches rely on things other than God for safety—like wealth, power, learning, or self-righteousness. He warns that God often tears down these “battlements” to remind believers that true security only comes from Him. In the end, both the church and each person must depend on God alone, not on their own strength or accomplishments.A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on September 16, 1855.
