Biographical Sketch on Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Last Sunday evening at Onekawa Bible Church in Napier, I delivered a biographical message on the great Welsh preacher, Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

Affectionately known as “The Doctor,” Lloyd-Jones gave up a promising career as a medical doctor and pursued a preaching ministry in the Welsh town of Aberavon. In that small town, he saw many souls turn to Christ for salvation. In 1939, he was invited to join G. Campbell Morgan to minister at Westminster Chapel in London just a few hundred meters from Buckingham Palace. For the next 30 years he established himself as one of the great expository preachers of his time. He preached over 370 messages from the book of Romans and 260 from Ephesians. At the height of his ministry, 2000 people packed the pews of Westminster Chapel to hear “The Doctor” preach the glories of Christ and the exclusivity of the gospel. In 1981, Lloyd-Jones passed into glory, leaving behind a legacy of faithful ministry. Much of his preaching has been transcribed and later published in book form. Some of his sermons can be found on YouTube.

Here is an example of one such sermon from Isaiah 33. Listen and let your soul be challenged.
