Book of Ephesians
Sermons on Ephesians by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones’s sermons on Ephesians were preached to the congregation at Westminster Chapel in the heart of central London on Sunday mornings between October 1954 to August 1962. He preached two hundred and thirty-two sermons on Ephesians in total. Indeed, it is likely that Dr Lloyd-Jones saw these sermons as one of his most important works, as evidenced by the fact that his Ephesians sermons were second only to his Romans sermons in being put forward for publication following his retirement in 1968.

About Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) was a Welsh evangelical minister who preached and taught in the Reformed tradition. His principal ministry was at Westminster Chapel, in central London, from 1939-1968, where he delivered multi-year expositions on books of the bible such as Romans, Ephesians and the Gospel of John. In addition to the MLJ Trust’s collection of 1,600 of these sermons in audio format, most of these great sermon series are available in book form (including a 14 volume collection of the Romans sermons), as are other series such as "Spiritual Depression", "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" and "Great Biblical Doctrines". He is considered by many evangelical leaders today to be an authority on biblical truth and the sufficiency of Scripture.
