Studies in the Sermon on the Mount by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Walking: Walking Under the Father’s EyeIn this concluding series of 16 sermons Dr. Lloyd-Jones makes clear…“It is as if our Lord were saying that the final thing which matters is not what men think of us, but what God thinks of us…..we are reminded all along that our life here is a journey and a pilgrimage, and that it is leading on to a final judgment, an ultimate assessment, and the determination and proclamation of our final and eternal destiny.”  Dr. Lloyd-Jones leads us through the toughest issues of Christian life dealing with issues including personal and spiritual judgment, pursuing the narrow way and the straight gate, the Golden Rule, the wise and foolish house builders, and powers of darkness masquerading as angels of light. It is a seriously compelling and thought provoking series.

The Law: The Relationship of the Christian to the Law of GodIn this series of 11 sermons Dr. Lloyd-Jones carefully identifies 5 key principles of the Law that Jesus wanted to make sure we know and understand.“He (Jesus) is concerned to make clear to them exactly what the law has to say.. Our Lord&apos;s chief desire was to show the true meaning and intent of the law, and to correct the erroneous conclusions which had been drawn from it by the Pharisees and scribes and all the false notions which they had founded upon it.”“Conformity to the law must not be thought of in terms of actions only. Thoughts, motives and desires are equally important. The law of God is concerned as much with what leads to the action as it is with the action itself.”“The law must be thought of not only in a negative manner, but also positively.” “...The purpose of the law as expounded by Christ is not to keep us in a state of obedience to oppressive rules, but to promote the free development of our spiritual character.”“...The law of God, and all these ethical instructions of the Bible, must never be regarded as an end in themselves.”
