Can Christians ever "win" if the Christian life is a drudgery of ups and downs? Where only some days we conquer our sinful desires, and only sometimes we succeed at loving unconditionally? No. That's counterfeit success, if any is found in such a life at all, says Charles Trumbull in Victory in Christ. The true essence of living a full Christian life means we quit trying.

Till He Come brings together some of Charles H. Spurgeon’s most tender and spiritually searching meditations on the Lord’s Supper. Drawn from addresses delivered at the Metropolitan Tabernacle and also in smaller gatherings around the communion table, these messages invite believers to linger and renew their love and devotion for Christ in remembrance of His atoning sacrifice.
