MLJ Sermons: Stream + Download

I was surprised to find a free and easy to navigate collection of MLJ sermons. While I would greatly read the transcripts if available here, I settled for purchasing his books that are edited sermon collections. I wouldn’t even mind paying for access to transcripts just because listening is difficult personally and I have more ability to read than to follow through listening. He clearly and logically explains his biblical text, using care, step by step advice with gentleness and firmness when needed just like the appreciated bedside manner of an expert skilled doctors hi is diagnosing and educating you on what is going on and what my part is all about in the situation. He takes the time to lead my mind, heart and will through the text and practically explain so that I can not only understand but begin to put the changes in my mind and life into practice. I am also eternally grateful because I live in an area where there is anemic preaching at best and I am desperate for biblical teaching soaked in doctrine coupled with the prescription of how it does and should transform my relationship with Christ. He is my pastor separated by time and distance but the tool the Holy Spirit has used to grow my heart mind and soul into all that God has planned in me. I can be just me, temperament and not some expert and glean massive amounts of God’s truth and plan.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones has had a significant impact on my Christian life, in such a manner that I make it my goal to lead many a genuine believer to this rich ministry. His treatment of scripture is unprecedented and so contemporary despite the fact that these sermons were originally recorded in early portion of the 19th Century. In his expository treatment of scripture we are brought to this simple conclusion, “there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9. The human condition has not changed since the fall of Adam to modern day. So his sermons will always have a contemporary relevance and a timeless accuracy. Another vital lesson I’ve learned from the incredible ministry of “The Doctor” is his insatiable desire to glorify God by exalting His Son. We are constantly led to Christ, and made to contemplate His glorious person to this end - to be enamored by Him. What I have appreciated most was his dependence on the Holy Spirit to give him the ability to intelligibly and experientially convey spiritual truth. His treatment of the Holy Spirit is also refreshing in a time where the blessed person of the godhead is so blasphemed and cordially dismissed from the Christian life. This ministry is a breath of fresh air in a Christian climate where even the inerrancy of scripture is questioned. Praise God for raising up such a man after His own heart. 🙏🏾

His sermons on the Baptism of the Holy are the best I have ever heard. His exegesis is genius. There are many great biblical expositors who can break down the verses on the Holy Spirit who don’t know anything about His presence. He is a person to be known not a doctrine. He is not just a proposition to be analyzed for a sermon. We can know facts about God. Know certain propositions without experiencing the love of Christ. Most good preachers have never experienced the manifestation of Gods love to the soul. When the Holy Spirit comes to you and bares witness with your spirit He sheds His love abroad in your heart. It’s a foretaste of heaven to have the love of Christ come down upon you like a rushing wind in wave upon wave of love. It’s unspeakable joy. The love of Christ that surpasses knowledge! He comes to us and shows us His glory. The sweet love of Jesus Christ! Every person needs to honestly listen to these sermons. The Holy Spirit has been forgotten we need a revival. The church needs power. Listen to these sermons.

Dr. Jones was the very tool used by God in shaping the resurgence of expository preaching. He was an example of preaching, because for many reasons which would take some time to write, one in which I wish to present is the timeless nature that comes from it. For preaching to be preaching, it’s going to be timeless, and Dr. Jones was that, “a timeless teacher.” I am a landscaper, and so much of his series in Romans chapter 1 has been listened to at work while I’m doing my typical duties. By God’s providence it keeps my mind set on having a high view of scripture, which leads to a higher view of God. Every person should be listening to this man. He was so set on communicating Christ’s person and work before his hearers. He would continually point his congregation to Christ to have their minds gripped by His centrality in scripture, and since his preaching is timeless, it still points some back to Christ to see the very same, and I am a product of experiencing just that. Dr. Jones did believe in scriptural sufficiency, because He believed in scriptural inerrancy, and so therefore, when I listen to him, I am reminded on those two verses in 2nd timothy 3:16-17 16“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”

These teaching have been a part of my spiritual growth for a few years now. I have gone through some intense trails in this time and Rev. Martin Lloyd Jones’ teachings have been pertinent and applicable as well as, inspirational and challenging, as when he gave them over 60+ years ago. His passion for the Word of God and his depth of knowledge of it speak as an exhorting, encouraging and loving, wise Grandfather to any soul searching out the “the truth that sets you free”. His doctrine is solid and delivered not only with conviction and passion but with the love of a God that pursues us for blessing. Listen, if you dare and let the Word wash over you and clear out the “wisdom” of the world and find your feet on fertile and solid ground.
