Sermons of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

1 Thessalonians 1:5 — The test of power; the problem of communication; the world outside the Church does not understand the word; the purpose of His coming; has the gospel come in power to you?

Colossians 1:28 — The glorious message of the Bible; Jesus; the centre of the Gospel; the Gospel starts with a warning; none are righteous; a message for every man.

Colossians 2:1-3 — The problem of gnosticism; and its parallel today; Jesus Christ; the only key to knowledge of God; the great mystery of God; the Church; the final restoration of all things.

Colossians 1:21-22 — New Testament Christianity examined; what is the Christian life? a new creation; the universal hatred for God demonstrated; man's need of enlightenment; God's way of salvation.

Colossians 1:20 — Objections to the evangelical faith discussed; a personal message; a message that concerns the world; the whole of nature groans; a message of regeneration; a new heaven; a new earth.

Colossians 1:18 — Jesus Christ is pre-eminent in all things; unlike in the cults; God has chosen to be glorified through Christ; the mystery of the first Christmas; baby Jesus is 'the image of God' - this expression defined; not just likeness; Jesus is uncreated and eternal; all things were created in and through Jesus; he holds them together; the first man to keep the Law; the firstborn from the dead; he did it alone; give Christ all pre-eminence.

Colossians 1:14 — Salvation; the Father's plan carried out by the Son and communicated by the Spirit; why did the Son of God come into the world? Jesus came not just to teach and set an example; but to die; Jesus accepts the punishment for man's sin.

Colossians 1:14 — The test - Christian or not; reborn or not; the common concept of God - the true God forgotten; God's character; his glory; light; holiness; truth; justice; etc; man made to be God's representative on earth; obey his commands; man sinned; God hates and punishes sin; man is under his wrath; God alone can solve the problem of man's slavery to the devil; through Christ God forgives first and then reconciles.

Colossians 1:21-22 — The importance of being a confident Christian; thankful and changed; the nature and character of man resulting from the Fall; man is alienated from; and hostile to; God; the hatred of natural man towards God examined and explained; man's rebellion against God's commandments; Christ sent to give new life; the divine principle in man's life.

Colossians 1:13 — What is wrong with man? : some common views examined; the Biblical view of man; gripped by the power of darkness; the devil has been conquered by Christ; delivered from the power of darkness by Christ.
