The Sermon Library of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermons on the Book of Psalms were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London throughout his ministry there from 1939-1968. These masterful expositions reveal the timeless truths of Scripture through careful examination of key psalms that speak to the human condition and our relationship with God. The series includes an extended exposition of Psalm 1, where Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores humanity's search for true happiness and the stark contrast between the godly and ungodly person. Through vivid biblical imagery of the flourishing tree versus worthless chaff, he demonstrates how genuine satisfaction can only be found in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Moving through various psalms, Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses fundamental questions of human existence: "What is man?" (Psalm 8), "Why do the nations rage?" (Psalm 2), and the fool's denial of God (Psalm 14). His exposition of Psalm 27 ("The Lord is My Light") and Psalm 42 provides profound insight into dealing with spiritual depression and finding strength in God during dark times. The series also includes Dr Lloyd-Jones's timeless treatment of Psalm 107's portrayal of God's steadfast love and deliverance, along with searches of the heart in Psalms 73 and 84.

His careful handling of these inspired verses reveals their lasting relevance for modern believers, showing how they address both the depths of human despair and heights of spiritual joy.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermon series on the book of Jeremiah was delivered at Westminster Chapel in London during his ministry there from 1939-1968. These messages examine the prophet's powerful indictment of spiritual declension and God's faithful call to repentance, providing timeless insights for the modern church. Beginning with Jeremiah 2, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores the fundamental problem of humanity's departure from God, illustrated through the vivid imagery of forsaking "the fountain of living waters" for broken cisterns that can hold no water (Jeremiah 2:13). Through careful exposition, he demonstrates how this ancient message speaks directly to contemporary society's pursuit of satisfaction apart from God. The series includes an extended treatment of Jeremiah 17:5-8, where Dr. Lloyd-Jones contrasts those who trust in man with those who trust in the Lord. This crucial passage reveals the stark difference between a life built on human resources and one rooted in divine grace. His exposition demonstrates how true spiritual prosperity comes only through complete dependence upon God. Moving through the prophet's message, Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses themes of spiritual declension, true and false religion, and the nature of genuine repentance. His treatment of Jeremiah 9:23-24 shows how true wisdom and knowledge of God stands in contrast to worldly wisdom. The series culminates in messages on divine healing from sin (Jeremiah 17:14) and God's gracious call to return from backsliding (Jeremiah 31:21). Throughout these sermons, Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how Jeremiah's message remains remarkably relevant for today's church. The prophet's call to return to God and warning against false religion speaks powerfully to modern spiritual confusion. Dr. Lloyd-Jones's hope for this series was that listeners would not only understand Jeremiah's message more clearly, but would experience genuine spiritual renewal through embracing its truths. These expositions combine careful biblical interpretation with passionate application, theological depth with pastoral wisdom, making them valuable resources for both personal spiritual growth and ministry preparation. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most searching analysis of the human condition and God's remedy in Christ.

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"’.
