Prayer Without Ceasing

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

What is the church’s greatest weapon? Some may say organizations or church events, but Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues in his sermon on Acts 12:5 that “our ultimate weapon is that of prayer.” The church has been through hard times since its existence, and Dr. Ll…

Two Views of Life

The Only Message of Hope

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 30, 1962

Is salvation about individuals or the world? Many criticize Christianity for focusing only on the individual and ignoring the rest of the world. In this sermon on Colossians 1:20 titled “The Only Message of Hope,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says Christianity is ab…

Girded with Truth

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 4, 1962

What is truth? In a world where truth is twisted into what people want it to be, how does one know what is really true versus what is distorted to fit certain views? Knowing the truth of God’s word is essential. This is why when Paul speaks to Christians about…

A New Humanity

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 15, 1959

In this sermon on Matthew 24:14 titled “A New Humanity,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses history from the Lord’s view and the prophesies already fulfilled. While these are prophesies of doom, He also offers good news of a new kingdom. This leads to questions…

Subject to Government

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Nov 20, 1966

How are Christians supposed to read the Bible? If there are many different views on what the Bible says, how are they to know the right interpretation? The answer is that they must read the Bible as one work of God. In the sermon on Romans 13:1–7 titled “Subje…

Peace I Give to You

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Feb 25, 1968

What is the peace that God gives His people in Christ? Humanity is always searching for something to put their trust in, something to hope in in the face of life’s many hardships. In this sermon on John 4:28–30 titled “Peace I Give to You,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jo…

The Cross that Divides

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 15, 1960

The crucifixion of the Son of God, who the apostle Paul called the Lord of glory, is the most profound paradox in human history. Because it is foolishness to those who are perishing and wisdom to those being saved, it automatically divides the world into two g…

The Gift of God

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Jan 8, 1967

The Christian gospel holds out a hope for everyone who has received the gift of God. Do you know the gift of God? In this sermon on John 4:13-14 titled “the gift of God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones tells of the satisfaction that God can give to an otherwise hopele…

Questioning God

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 16, 1967

The world asks many questions, but why do they never come to true answers? Why does humanity always seek true wisdom and knowledge but not find it? The answer is found in the world’s rejection of Jesus Christ as the true wisdom of God. In this sermon on John 4…

A Degenerate Vine

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 11, 1960

What do the people of Israel have to teach? Because all things in holy Scripture are for humanity’s benefit, Christians can learn much about the nature of humanity and themselves by looking at the ancient people of God. In this sermon on Jeremiah 2:20–22 title…

Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 14, 1961

Jesus Christ, the Judge

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 1, 1967

As the lordship of Christ is universal, so also is the judgment of Christ. Evangelical Protestants rightly champion Scripture’s teaching on the assurance believers have as they face the final judgment seat of God. The Christian rejoices in the assurance that t…

The Gospel of God

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Nov 4, 1955

What is the gospel? It is certainly good news. It moved the apostle Paul every time he spoke of it. It is not law and neither is the gospel merely a list of moral commands. It is not simply an announcement that God will forgive sins. The gospel is not an appea…

God's Battle, not Ours

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Oct 15, 1961

How are Christians related to the power of God? In this sermon on Ephesians 6:10–13 titled “God’s Battle, not Ours,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that Christians must remember that Jesus Christ is the captain of their salvation. Salvation is God’s work. Chr…

Common and Special Grace

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Dec 11, 1960

The Body of Christ

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 26, 1957

Nature of the Spirit's Witness

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Feb 3, 1961

When is a Christian sealed by the Holy Spirit? Through the teachings of Jesus Christ and the New Testament writers, the Christian knows that salvation comes by trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. But when is a believer conf…

Show Us the Father

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 27, 1958

No one can honor the Father unless they honor the Son. From the time of Jesus’s birth until now, people try to honor God the Father without acknowledging, believing in, or honoring the Son. In this sermon on John 5:37–38 titled “Show Us the Father,” Dr. Martyn…

The Christian's Priorities

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Jun 19, 1960

The goal of the church is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to sinners. In this sermon on Ephesians 6:5–9 titled “The Christian’s Priorities,” this is the central message of the church as proclaimed by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The church is never to use its…

Darkness and Light

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Feb 9, 1958

The Condition of Man

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • May 5, 1957

Why is the Bible relevant to modern humanity? In this sermon from Numbers 11:4–6 titled “The Condition of Man,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers this very question by reminding the listener that the moral problems of society are nothing new and are really proble…

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Apr 22, 1966

What is Man?

Martyn Lloyd-Jones • Mar 18, 1962

People are not highly-developed animals. Neither are they enlightened products of evolution. In this sermon on 1 Peter 2:9–10 titled “What is Man?” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains how God made humanity. In the Bible, humanity is made in the image of God, natur…
