The Book of Romans
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones’s sermon series on the book of Romans were preached to the congregation at Westminster Chapel in the heart of central London on Friday evenings between October 1955 to March 1968. These sermons were preached from the beginning of October until the end of May each year, with breaks being taken for Christmas and Easter. Dr Lloyd-Jones began his ministry at Westminster Chapel in 1938, and his ministry there lasted for thirty years until his retirement in 1968. As such, his Romans sermon series came at the end of his preaching career. Spanning 366 sermons over twelve years, his series on the book of Romans is the longest expositional series Dr Lloyd-Jones ever did. Dr Lloyd-Jones regarded the book of Romans as the ‘first in importance’ among the New Testament epistles. Indeed, it is likely that Dr Lloyd-Jones saw his exposition of the book of Romans as his most important work, as evidenced by the fact that he chose his Romans sermons as the first of his many sermons to be published following his retirement. His official biographer Iain Murray writes; Many hundreds of unrevised manuscript copies of sermons thus existed by 1968, of which, for reasons already noted, comparatively few had appeared in print. He did not hesitate in choosing to put his Romans sermons first for publication in book form, to be followed by those on Ephesians. Dr Lloyd-Jones’s Romans sermons include in depth exposition of passages such as Romans 5:1-5, Romans 8:28, , Romans 8:31-39, Romans 12, Romans 12:9-21, Romans 12:1-2. His hope for this Romans sermon series was that they will ‘not only help Christian people to understand more clearly the great doctrines of our Faith, but that they will also fill them with a joy "unspeakable and full of glory" and bring them into a condition in which they will be "Lost in wonder, love, and praise"’.

Notable Passages Covered: John 1:29-42: The Lamb of God John 3:16: God's love for the world John 14:23-29: The promise of the Holy Spirit John 20: The resurrection appearances Whether you're new to the Bible or a seasoned student of Scripture, this preaching through the Gospel of John offers profound insights into its timeless message.

This lengthy series is a systematic exposition of the epistle that was preached on Sunday mornings between 1954 and 1962, filled with thanksgiving and prayer as Paul intended.

These sermons on Ephesians delve deep into the rich teachings of the Apostle Paul, exploring spiritual blessings in Christ and the praise of His glory as central themes. Beginning with Ephesians 1, the series examines the profound truths of election, predestination, and redemption through the grace of Christ, while highlighting faith in the Lord Jesus. Drawing from early manuscripts and careful exposition, Lloyd-Jones unpacks the gospel of your salvation and its implications for believers' spiritual inheritance. His systematic teaching helps listeners understand how the immeasurable blessings and riches of spiritual inheritance are already possessed by God's people, leading them to a deeper appreciation of their salvation and calling.

Old Testament
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is primarily known today as a preacher of expository sermons from the books of the Old Testament and New Testament. However, according to Dr. Lloyd-Jones’s wife Bethan, this was not the work that characterized him. That work was evangelism. She once remarked that "no-one will understand my husband who does not know that he was first of all a man of prayer and then an evangelist". Indeed, many of Dr Lloyd-Jones’s evangelistic sermons were sermons from the Old Testament. Most of these sermons were not recorded, however the Old Testament sermons below were preserved in this series of 133 sermons across 15 books of the Old Testament. Through these expository sermons, we explore the rich tapestry of the Old Testament, allowing its teachings to guide us in our Christian walk today. They address questions such as, "What does the Old Testament teach us"? Or more importantly, what does the Old Testament teach about Jesus Christ? It reveals the holiness and righteousness of God, the need for repentance and obedience, and points forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in Jesus Christ.
