Index (PDF)The Book of Psalms
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.

The Book of Jeremiah
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.

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.

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.

Sermons on the Cross
These sermons on the Cross by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London throughout his ministry there from 1939-1968. The sermons are a profound exposition of the central truth of Christianity that illuminate the meaning and significance of Christ's death for sinners. The series provides a comprehensive exploration of the cross of Christ, beginning with foundational passages like John 3:14-15 in "At the Cross," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones draws parallels between the bronze serpent in the wilderness and Christ being lifted up for our salvation. Through meticulous exposition of Romans 5:6-8 in "Love That Produces Salvation," he demonstrates how God's love was supremely manifested at Calvary where Christ died for the ungodly. Moving through various New Testament texts, Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses essential doctrines connected to the cross. In "The Mystery of the Cross" and "The Cross that Divides," he explores how the wisdom of God displayed in Christ crucified confounds human wisdom and divides humanity into those who are perishing and those being saved. His exposition of "The Offence of the Cross" from Galatians 6:14 clarifies why the message of the cross remains a stumbling block to human pride and self-sufficiency. The series includes Dr. Lloyd-Jones's profound treatment of "The Glory of the Cross," where he demonstrates how God's perfect holiness, justice, wisdom, and love converge at Calvary. His careful handling of "God and Sinners Reconciled" shows how the cross accomplishes what human religion never could—peace between a holy God and sinful humanity. In "The Means of Salvation," he establishes why the cross alone provides the remedy for mankind's deepest need. Several sermons focus on the practical implications of the cross, including "Victory Over the Devil," "A Public Declaration," and "Looking at the Cross," where believers are called to view all of life through the lens of Christ's finished work. Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows how the cross not only secures our justification but transforms our entire worldview and relationship to the world. His exposition of "The Wonder of the Cross" from Hebrews reveals Christ's perfect sacrifice as the fulfillment of Old Testament types and shadows. In "Weep Not," he presents the paradoxical nature of the cross—an apparent defeat that secured the greatest victory in human history. Throughout these messages, Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how the cross stands at the very center of the Christian gospel. These sermons combine historical context with theological precision, doctrinal depth with devotional warmth, making them essential resources for understanding Christianity's most distinctive message. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most powerful and moving teaching on the subject that he considered the very heart of the gospel—Christ crucified for sinners.

Spiritual Depression
This definitive collection of 24 sermons, delivered at Westminster Chapel (1954), represents Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's systematic examination of spiritual and psychological depression through Biblical exposition. Moving beyond his customary verse-by-verse teaching, Lloyd-Jones addressed what he recognized as an undeniable feature of modern Christian experience - the prevalence of spiritual depression among believers. The series originated from a moment of clarity described in his biography: while contemplating Psalm 42:5, Lloyd-Jones perceived a comprehensive framework for addressing this crucial pastoral concern. "I got up one morning, washed and was still half-dressed when quite suddenly that verse came to me, ‘Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God...’ There and then some seven or eight skeletons of sermons came to my mind on the subject of Spiritual Depression. I rushed down to my study to put them on paper and so powerful was the impression that I knew I had to do this series before Ephesians. I am not surprised it was so used. It was a pure gift." (Iain H. Murray, The Fight of Faith, Edinburgh, Banner of Truth, 1990, p. 259) This insight led to what many consider one of the most significant contributions to Christian understanding of depression and anxiety. Core Elements: Biblical analysis of depression's spiritual and psychological dimensions Theological examination of suffering in Christian experience Systematic approach to spiritual renewal and mental health Integration of pastoral care with doctrinal truth Application of Reformed theology to emotional struggles The collection comprises the 14 foundational sermons that formed his seminal work "Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure," supplemented by 10 additional expositions. These messages examine how faith intersects with psychological experience, addressing both theological questions and practical pastoral concerns. Dr. Lloyd-Jones's careful exposition demonstrates how Christian doctrine provides resources for understanding and addressing depression. His approach acknowledges both spiritual and physical factors while maintaining focus on Biblical truth's sufficiency for human suffering. This work remains particularly relevant for contemporary discourse on faith and mental health, offering systematic theological reflection on one of modern society's most pressing concerns. Through careful doctrinal analysis and pastoral application, these sermons provide enduring insight into the relationship between Christian faith and psychological well-being.

The Book of Ezekiel
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermons on the Book of Ezekiel were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London as part of his wider exposition of Old Testament prophetic literature. These masterly expositions reveal the timeless truths of Scripture through careful examination of key passages that speak to spiritual renewal, divine holiness, and God's transforming work in human hearts. The series begins with "The Experience of Ezekiel," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores the prophet's extraordinary vision of God's glory in Ezekiel 1:28 and its relevance for believers today. Through vivid exposition, he demonstrates how a genuine encounter with God's holiness leads to both deep humility and spiritual transformation. In "The Christian Experience," he draws parallels between Ezekiel's commission to eat the scroll and the believer's need to internalize God's Word completely. Moving through the book, Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses fundamental themes in Ezekiel's prophecy, including the dangers of false teaching in "Christ; the Only Hope" and the counterintuitive ways of God in "The Foolishness of God." His exposition of "The Revelation from God" explains how divine truth confronts human rebellion and calls for repentance. Throughout these sermons, he shows how Ezekiel's ancient message powerfully speaks to modern spiritual conditions. The heart of the series focuses on Ezekiel 36, where Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents a comprehensive picture of salvation in twelve interconnected sermons. Beginning with "Separated Unto Holiness" and "I Poured My Fury Upon Them," he establishes the desperate condition of sinful humanity that stands under divine judgment. The sermon "The Act of Rebellion" probes the nature of sin as willful defiance against God's righteous rule, while "Out of Babylon into Canaan" portrays God's sovereign deliverance of His people. Dr. Lloyd-Jones's exposition of "Ye Shall Be Clean," "A New Heart," and "I Will Put My Spirit Within You" reveals the progressive work of salvation—cleansing from sin, heart transformation, and indwelling of the Spirit. His careful handling of these texts shows how Ezekiel's prophecy anticipates the New Testament's teaching on regeneration. In "A Great and Complete Salvation," he celebrates the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive work. The series concludes with sermons addressing "The Foolishness of Man," "The Temple in the Soul," and "Saved By Grace Alone," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how God's grace transforms barren lives into fruitful ones. His exposition of "The Unproductive Age" provides a powerful critique of modern self-sufficiency and shows how only divine intervention can restore true spiritual life. These sermons combine careful textual analysis with practical application, theological depth with pastoral wisdom, making them invaluable resources for understanding the message of Ezekiel. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most profound teaching on God's sovereign work in renewing hearts and establishing His kingdom through the gift of a new heart and the indwelling Spirit.

Sermons on Christian Assurance
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermons on Christian Assurance were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London throughout his ministry there from 1939-1968. These profound expositions address one of the most vital yet often misunderstood aspects of the Christian life: the believer's certainty of salvation in Christ. In this comprehensive series, Dr. Lloyd-Jones examines the biblical foundations of assurance, beginning with foundational passages in John 1:12-13 that establish our identity as children of God. Through careful exposition, he distinguishes between true and false assurance, showing that genuine assurance is not based on emotional experiences but on the objective work of Christ and the witness of the Holy Spirit. The series includes essential teachings on the Spirit's role in assurance, particularly in Romans 8 where Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores how the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children. His exposition of "The Spirit of Adoption" reveals how believers can cry "Abba, Father" with confidence, while his sermons on "The Witness of the Spirit" and "Sealing with the Spirit" clarify these often-misunderstood doctrines. Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses common challenges to assurance, including the devil's attacks, periods of spiritual darkness, and the relationship between assurance and sanctification. His sermon "Attacked by the Devil" provides practical wisdom for believers facing spiritual warfare, while "True and False Assurance" helps Christians discern the difference between presumption and genuine assurance. The series also covers the security of believers in Christ through messages like "Eternally Secure" and "Security in Christ," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates from Scripture that those whom God has justified will certainly be glorified. His sermon "Once Saved; Always Saved?" addresses common objections to the doctrine of eternal security with biblical clarity. Throughout these sermons, Dr. Lloyd-Jones balances theological depth with pastoral sensitivity, understanding that many sincere believers struggle with doubts. His aim is not merely to establish the doctrine of assurance but to help Christians experience the joy and peace that come from knowing they belong to Christ. These messages combine careful exposition with practical application, showing how assurance is not a luxury but a birthright for God's children that empowers faithful Christian living. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most comforting yet challenging teaching on the Christian life and remain as relevant today as when they were first delivered.

Sermons on Christian Marriage
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermons on Marriage were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London during his exposition of Ephesians 5:22-33. These masterful teachings reveal God's divine design for marriage through careful examination of Scripture that speaks to both husbands and wives about their respective roles and responsibilities. The series begins with "Basic Principles," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones establishes the foundation for Christian marriage from Ephesians 5:22-23. He explains how marriage is not merely a human institution but a divine ordinance reflecting profound spiritual truths. Through careful exposition, he shows how proper understanding of biblical marriage brings harmony, joy, and spiritual growth to both partners. Moving through the passage, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores "The Order of Creation" and "The Analogy of the Body," clarifying God's intended order for the marital relationship. Rather than promoting cultural stereotypes, he demonstrates how Scripture presents complementary roles that reflect the relationship between Christ and His church. These sermons challenge both contemporary and traditional misunderstandings that either diminish or distort God's plan. The heart of the series focuses on the husband's Christ-like love through sermons like "True Love" and "The Husband's Duties," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones unfolds the sacrificial, selfless love that characterizes a godly husband. He carefully distinguishes biblical headship from worldly domination, showing how a husband's leadership should mirror Christ's loving service to His church. This profound teaching addresses the biblical responsibilities of husbands with both theological depth and practical wisdom. Dr. Lloyd-Jones also explores the rich biblical imagery of "The Bride of Christ" and "Purification of the Bride," revealing how marriage serves as a living picture of Christ's relationship with His people. These sermons demonstrate how understanding this spiritual dimension transforms ordinary marriages into extraordinary testimonies of God's grace and love. Throughout these messages, Dr. Lloyd-Jones balances doctrinal precision with pastoral application, addressing common marital challenges while pointing to the resources available in the gospel. His exposition of "The Bride's Privileges" helps couples understand the high calling and special blessings God intends for those who follow His design for marriage. These sermons combine careful biblical interpretation with practical guidance, theological insight with marital wisdom, making them valuable resources for couples at any stage of marriage. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most relevant teaching on how the gospel transforms our most intimate human relationship, offering timeless principles that transcend cultural shifts and social trends regarding marriage, roles of husbands and wives, and biblical headship.
