What is the power in preaching? Is it in the preacher’s own preparation and scholarship? If it is, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that we are to be most miserable. In this teaching, Dr. Lloyd-Jones expounds upon what he believes to be the most important ingredient in preaching: the unction, or power, of the Holy Spirit. Consider the apostles: they had all of the teaching and preparation, but this was not enough. The Holy Spirit must come and give these men power to preach the Gospel. In one’s own...

Should a preacher repeat his sermon? What are the dangers in doing so? Is it ever appropriate for a preacher to preach another man’s sermon? These questions are handled as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones lectures under the topic of preaching and preachers. A sermon takes on a personality of its own. As the preacher comes to know his sermons, there are certain benefits in preaching them again and again. Yet there are pitfalls.

In this teaching, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones discusses matters facing the church today which threaten the preaching ministry. He begins with the topic of music, and moves to a discussion on altar calls.

The more a church is focused on her building, ceremony, special singing and music, the less the church experiences a robust and Biblical...

As the proclamation of God’s Word is the task of every preacher, certain things must be avoided. These things creep into the preaching ministry and detract the man from his work. As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues his lectures on preaching and preachers, he begins with a few observations on radio preaching. As this grew in popularity during his day, the radio posed new problems for the preacher which led to a sense of professionalism in the pulpit. The preacher must not be bound by time, always...

The preacher must freely preach the Word of God in a way that is natural, yet prepared. In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses the preacher’s need for freedom in the pulpit.

The shape of the sermon should reflect the goal of any sermon. That is, to show the original context, the meaning of a passage, and apply it to life today.
