PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - April 18, 2024 - PRLog -- The MLJ Trust is delighted to announce the completion of a major audio remastering project by dedicated volunteers. This effort aimed to preserve and distribute the sermon library of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, a renowned 20th-century Welsh Protestant minister, preacher, and medical doctor who greatly influenced the Reformed wing of evangelicalism. The remastered work includes a subject that few other preachers cover: sermons on spiritual depression.

In 1954, Dr. Lloyd-Jones veered from his customary practice of preaching through books of the Bible to preach this sermon series. The origin of the series is referenced by Iain Murray in the second volume of his authorized biography of Dr Lloyd-Jones, "The Fight of Faith":

"I got up one morning, washed, and was still half-dressed when quite suddenly that verse came to me, 'Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God…' There and then, some seven or eight skeletons of sermons came to my mind on the subject of Spiritual Depression. I rushed down to my study to put them on paper, and the impression was so powerful that I knew I had to do this series before Ephesians. I am not surprised it was so used. It was a pure gift." (Iain H. Murray, The Fight of Faith, Edinburgh, Banner of Truth, 1990, p. 259)

This essential collection of 24 sermons on depression was the result. Delivered in a post-war world of unrest and grief, this beneficial collection of sermons on depression, anxiety, and mental health by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is both as timeless as its topic and the trust we can place in Jesus to renew our spirits.

This collection includes the 14 sermons Dr. Lloyd-Jones used to create his book, "Spiritual Depression; Its Causes and Cure" — a Christian classic — and ten unique sermons on depression that are exclusive to this series. Martyn Lloyd-Jones divulges both the true root of depression from the biblical worldview and the true solution to ailments of mind, body, and spirit in the sermons on anxiety and depression.

Throughout the sermons on spiritual depression you'll find deep insights into how we can be freed from the bonds of sin to be genuinely alive unto God. There are many symptoms covered, including what happens when you grow weary of doing well. But he doesn't leave us with the symptoms. He brings solutions, teaching us to be strong in the Lord and pray in the spirit.

If you have experienced spiritual depression, then you should spend some time with this sermon series. You will gain clarity about the root cause, learn how to be free indeed, and experience a life of true joy.
