The Gospel: Good News

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Oct 5, 1958

Riches of the Gentiles

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Nov 20, 1964

What Are You Seeking?

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Jun 13, 1965

Declared to Be the Son of God

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 2, 1955

Is Jesus really God? Some say He became divine at his baptism while others suggest He became the Son of God at His resurrection. The deity of Jesus Christ has always been challenged, not by those who are saved, but by those who want to remain in their sin. In…

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 5, 1967

The Blood of Jesus Christ

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 22, 1957

The Old Testament proclaims the need for a savior. Even the Jews knew to look for a messiah. By saying “in his blood,” Paul is alluding to the Old Testament practice of animal sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. Prior to Christ’s sacrifice, believers would…

A Broken Heart

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 4, 1958

They Were Naked

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Oct 16, 1955

God's Great Plan of Salvation

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 16, 1956

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 12, 1958

Revival Sermon: O Wouldest Thou Rend the Heavens

The Holy Spirit in Salvation

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 13, 1953

Who is Jesus? Many say that Jesus was merely a good teacher. He was a teacher; the greatest teacher who has ever lived, but He is more. Christ did not merely come to teach, for teaching cannot conquer sin. Law cannot change a person. Jesus came to change lives…

Worship, Ancient and Modern

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 25, 1966
