The Law Established

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 3, 1957

The Supernatural Realm

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 3, 1967

Life in the Spirit

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 22, 1959

Renewal of the Mind, Part 3

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 10, 1965

Reactions to Suffering

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 21, 1961

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

You Are Christ's

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Oct 2, 1966

He Makes the Storm a Calm

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Feb 6, 1955

... if Christ be not Risen

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 29, 1964

Why does the resurrection matter? According to Paul, the resurrection matters because it is the only hope for humanity. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then all who believe in Him will not either. Christians only have hope if there is a resurrection and a…

Eternally Secure, Part 1

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 16, 1962

The Living God

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 23, 1967

What is the meaning and value of life? Is there a greater purpose than just what can be seen? In the sermon “The Living God,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones opens Acts 7:37­–38 and explains the various ways people rationalize life. Some say humanity should be understood in t…

Paradise Regained

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 19, 1961

Unfortunately many evangelical Christians are confused about the hope of the Scriptures. Many songs, hymns, and Christian books appear to anticipate an afterlife that is purely spiritual and disembodied. The apostle Paul could not present a more contrary hope.…

Faith and Joy

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 1, 1964

The Condition of Man

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Jul 6, 1958

An Overview of Romans 9-11

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Oct 5, 1962

The expression “missing the wood through the trees” is particularly appropriate when approaching a new section of sacred Scripture. While it is tempting to focus on individual subsections in Romans 9–11, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones encourages keeping an overall big…

Who Art Thou O Man?

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Feb 1, 1963
