Repentance prepares the highway for people to come into the presence of the Lord. They need substance and direction for life; not only repentance, but regeneration. From where does such a thing come? In this sermon on Psalm 84:5–7 titled "The Valley of Bacca," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones looks at Christ as the source of encouragement for the believer, despite the circumstances he or she might find them...

What is most supreme in life? Can the Christian say with the psalmist that communion with God is supreme in the whole of life and existence? In this sermon on Psalm 84:3 titled "The Sparrow," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones walks through three certain things that are absolute essentials if one is to enjoy life like this. First, in reviewing his first two primary considerations, religion is not simply a mat...

WHO'S GETTING GOD" S MONEY? Luke 16:10–13 (KJV) Every dollar we spend is a decision of stewardship. God is concerned not only with how we earn our money and how much we give, but also with what we support through our spending. In this message we examine the biblical responsibility of Christian stewardship and considers documented examples of criminal payments, organized-crime extortion, and labor...

This sermon examines 1 Samuel 30 to illustrate how God preserves His people through the four stages of restlessness, reception, restoration, and enrichment. It highlights David's struggle with worldly distractions and the resulting loss of his family, emphasizing that true peace is found only in God rather than in earthly circumstances. The message draws a typological parallel between David and Je...

A false outworking of faith is the result of a faulty foundation. In this sermon on Psalm 84:1–12 titled "True Religion," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues a consideration of preliminary considerations of utmost importance as answered by the psalmist. First, through a brief discussion of what true religion is, and second through an evaluation of what the final authority of faith is. With faith, the...

The sermon examines the tragic fate of those who delay their response to the gospel, categorizing them as fence-straddlers who remain almost persuaded but refuse to commit to Christ. Using the account of the rich young ruler in Mark 10 as a primary example, the message argues that repentance from sin is a necessary prerequisite for salvation, as Jesus demanded the man forsake his wealth to follow...

In this sermon, To the Angel of the Church in Laodicea, from Revelation 3:14–22, we examine Christ's final letter to the seven churches in Asia and His sobering assessment of a church that had become lukewarm, spiritually complacent, and self-sufficient. Although the Laodiceans believed they were rich and needed nothing, Christ exposed their true spiritual poverty, blindness, and nakedness. As the...

This sermon examines the sin of covetousness as a subtle form of idolatry that enslaves the heart and breeds anxiety. By analyzing the teaching of Jesus in Luke 12 and the parable of the rich fool, the message highlights how obsessing over material wealth and security leads to a divided mind, contrasting this with the eternal sufficiency found in the Kingdom of God. The teaching urges believers to...

How can a guilty sinner ever be made righteous before an infinitely holy God? This question lies at the heart of Genesis 15, where God reassures Abram that He is both his shield and his exceedingly great reward. Having rejected the riches of Sodom, Abram is reminded that the Lord Himself is the source of his protection and blessing. Yet Abram remains troubled by his childlessness and the apparent...

Genesis 14:13-24 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. 15 And he divided himse...

In Ephesians 1:7–12, Paul reveals that God's saving work in Christ extends far beyond the forgiveness of sins. Through three glorious truths- redemption, revelation, and inheritance- we see how God graciously redeems His people, unfolds His eternal purpose to unite all things in Christ, and secures an everlasting inheritance for His adopted children. Christ's blood has purchased our forgiveness, G...

The sermon centers on the phrase "but God" as a marker of divine intervention that transforms the hopeless condition of sinners into a life of grace and peace. It explores how God, who is rich in mercy, initiates salvation for those who are dead in their sins, emphasizing that this change is solely the result of His initiative rather than human effort. The message highlights the theological truth...

Why should we trust God's wisdom with the decisions of our lives? In Proverbs 8:12–36, Solomon personifies wisdom as a woman presenting her qualifications, revealing why she deserves our attention, trust, and obedience. Wisdom offers prudence, knowledge, sound counsel, understanding, and strength to navigate life's decisions. She teaches us to hate what God hates, seek godly counsel, lead with rig...

When life leaves you waiting and the ground beneath you seems to shift, where does your hope rest? In Hebrews 6:13-20, Abraham's patient trust points us to the promises of a God who cannot lie, and the passage leads us to Jesus, our High Priest who has entered within the veil. This message calls you to place your confidence in Christ and hold fast to His unchanging word. His sure promises give wea...

What does it take to truly belong to the kingdom of God? Jesus does not shy away from the hard questions -- and in Matthew 19, he gets right to the heart of one of our greatest struggles: what we own, and what owns us. When a rich young man asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, Jesus lovingly exposes the real god competing for his heart. Our possessions can deceive us into thinking we do not nee...
