Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermons

Faith Only – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

5 Apr 2025 Michael A

This sermon is concerned with one of the most basic requirements of actually being a Christian. Many who profess to be Christian do not understand this basic criterion. That is, many believe they can say the ‘sinner’s prayer;’ or sign a card; or read the Bible; attend a church; be baptized…. Born-again believers do such things, but that is not what has made them a Christian. Born-again believers have faith ‘like Abraham.’ MLJ explains what that means. He also explains some typical mistakes professed Christians make.

The Just Shall Live by Faith – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

2 Apr 2025 Michael A

“Faith does not only mean a belief, it doesn’t only mean an intellectual assent. It does mean that, but it means more than that. There are these three essential elements in faith: believing, being persuaded, and acting. In other words, the mind is involved, the heart is involved, and the will is involved.” ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The Shield of Faith – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

1 Apr 2025 Michael A

The Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermon in this post is a careful description of the shield of faith. The sermon overview and points written by MLJTrust cover most of MLJ’s points. If you are trying to actually learn how to use the shield of faith, then I would recommend that you hear the sermon….

Marching Orders – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

30 Mar 2025 Michael A

In this sermon on Ephesians 6:14 titled “Marching Orders,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows how they should view the world in light of their life in Christ. …Dr. Lloyd-Jones moves on to focus on the importance of preparation: preparing for a place in heaven means casting off the works of darkness and putting on the armor of God. It means spending time and energy on preparing for the future home rather than using it on the temporary home….

Slaves of Christ – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

29 Mar 2025 Michael A

The Bible has made it clear that the life of the Christian will not be one of ease, but a continuous battle against the evil one. In order to live in victory, one must put on the breastplate of righteousness. The question, then, is how does one do this? …He begins by stating that putting on the breastplate of righteousness can be equated to putting on Jesus and walking in the Spirit. …Walking in the Spirit shows that the Christian is a new creation in Christ and has made Him the master rather than themselves….

Looking Unto Jesus – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

26 Mar 2025 Michael A

Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how putting on the breastplate of righteousness means looking to Jesus and following His example. …A Christian’s job is to follow the example of their Savior, and the breastplate of righteousness is what helps them do this by reminding them that Jesus has imputed and imparted His righteousness to them…. [Something that MLJ mentioned numerous times in his sermon, which is not clearly emphasized in the points is that selfishness is of the Devil. Upon hearing MLJ make comments about selfishness, I thought of Aleister Crowley’s law of Thelema, “Do What Thou Wilt.” I think the babyboomer generation and every generation since, has been dedicated to doing just that. Such a lifestyle is in opposition to the WAY of Christ….]

Resisting the Devil – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

23 Mar 2025 Michael A

Temptation is a constant trap that the devil puts in the path of Christians. Satan is constantly prowling around as he tries to convince Christians into crediting their salvation to the binding of rules and regulations. He twists and distorts the truth of the gospel by making the Christian think that they are still under the power and dominion of sin. …He points out in Scripture how the breastplate of righteousness is a reminder that the old self has been crucified with Christ, resulting in liberation from the laws and regulations they were bound to before.

Prayer – Drawing Near to God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

22 Mar 2025 Michael A

The preacher begins by addressing the context of the epistle to the Hebrews, written to Jewish Christians who were becoming discouraged in their faith. He emphasizes the importance of prayer in the Christian life and highlights the difficulties that can arise when attempting to pray. Dr. Lloyd-Jones outlines three main obstacles to prayer: entering into God’s holy presence, dealing with an evil conscience, and overcoming a sense of unworthiness due to sin’s pollution. He argues that these difficulties make prayer one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian life….

Citizens of Heaven – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

20 Mar 2025 Michael A

“There is only one protection against the temptations of Satan. It is the breastplate of righteousness. You’ll never get righteousness without godliness. You can multiply your police force, you can build better prisons, you can staff them with psychiatrists, you can try and uplift people and educate them. It doesn’t touch your problem.” ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones …History shows that moral and righteous periods follow religious awakenings while unrighteous periods follow a decline in Christianity. …Deliverance from condemnation protects us from temptation by removing despair and hopelessness.

But God… Martyn Lloyd-Jones

19 Mar 2025 Michael A

Dr. Lloyd-Jones contrasts the hopeless state of mankind apart from God, dead in sin and under the influence of Satan, with the miraculous intervention of God’s grace. He emphasizes that the gospel is inherently supernatural and divine, beyond human comprehension or ability. Using examples like Mary and Nicodemus, he shows how even devout people can stumble over the miraculous nature of God’s work.
