A More Excellent Way - A Sermon on John

www.mljtrust.o...
In the sermon titled “A More Excellent Way,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues his series on John 1:12-13 by shedding light on the topic of the Holy Spirit. This topic, which is often shrouded in foggy notions and vague ideas, has light to bring to the Christian stranded in a dark season of lack of assurance. For anyone who fears grieving the Holy Spirit, there is assurance. The person who does not know God may fear losing their good name. They may fear failure, but be assured, Christians should not fear grieving the Holy Spirit. Dr. Lloyd-Jones touches on these notes, as well the difference between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit, and several other chords that ring close to the heartbeat of the Christian. Before he closes his discourse, Dr. Lloyd-Jones focuses on the way that three of the fruit of the Spirit impact the Christian life - love, joy, and peace. The sermon asks the listener to examine their own soul and ask, “Do these divine realities live in my soul? Do I weep when the Holy Spirit is grieved by my sin? Does love for God and love for my neighbor mark my life? Does joy and peace mark my soul despite suffering and hardship?”

The precious Holy Spirit. So sorry to have grieved Him. I believe much of our Christian sorrow lies within this grief. Praise God because His mercies are new every morning. Lamentations 3 : 22-23

Incredible Sermon! If you are navigating his library I recommend the sermons The Power Within, any in the renewing the mind or spirit of the mind series, and any in the 6 part series on baptism in the Spirit. Glory in Tribulation is also quite good.
