Revival can be found in the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments, and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ sermons draw inspiration from both. In the revival sermons below, Dr. Lloyd-Jones shines the light of the scriptures on the topic of revival, exploring historical revivals, the role of the Church in revival, and our reliance on the movement of the Holy Spirit to see revival take hold.

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.
