Victorious Christianity

Product Highlights

• Volume 3 in the Studies in the Book of Acts Series

In language that is simple and clear, Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores the growth of the church in Acts 5:17-6:9 in this third volume of the Studies in the Book of Acts series. He begins with Peter's refusal to keep silent about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and ends with Stephen's bold confrontation with Jews who had come to Jerusalem from all over the Mediterranean world. For readers wanting to learn what Christianity is all about, Acts is the place to go-and readers will find that this Bible expositor is an accomplished guide to the book.

We are told that Christianity is simply out-of-date, ridiculous, and foolish. Our answer is the same as that of the apostles to the Sanhedrin. It is the only answer we can give.

The Gospel is an invincible message of redemption, one that the apostles believed was more important than their freedom, or even their lives. The fifth and sixth chapters of Acts relate a wonderful manifestation of the power of God through these believers as they witnessed to the resurrection and lived their lives in obedience to the faith.

In this third volume of the Studies in the Book of Acts series, Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores the growth of the church in Acts 5:17-6:9. Peter and the apostles’ speech to the Sanhedrin reveals the true nature of the Christian church and the Christian message. The apostles’ choice to concentrate on preaching and prayer shows the primary purpose of the church. Stephen’s bold confrontation with the Jews of the Dispersion testifies to the empowering, directing Spirit.

Accept Lloyd-Jones’s challenge to know for yourself the glory of the power of the Lord as He was preached by the early church. Be courageous as you testify to unbelievers about the character and nature of Christ, and be moved to action by your desire to help the souls of unbelievers.

About the Author
Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) grew up in Welsh Calvinistic Methodism in the aftermath of the emotional Welsh revival. In his youth, Martyn chose to pursue a career as a medical doctor and was incredibly competent and admired in his abilities to diagnose and treat patients. With a lucrative career in front of him, Martyn began to read the Word of God for himself and became more and more convinced of the truth of Jesus Christ and the ability of the gospel to heal the wounds of his patients that could not be cured with medicine. Martyn began to seriously pursue the idea of becoming a gospel minister. In 1927, Martyn married Bethel Phillips and the two moved to Aberavon where Martyn became the pastor of a small parish. Martyn's clear message of God's justice and love was too much for some of the congregation and many left. Slowly, however, the church began to grow with new working-class people who accepted the message of Christ and found radical transformation.

In the late 1930s G. Campbell Morgan, Minister of Westminster Chapel, heard Martyn preach and desired Martyn to take his place in the pulpit upon his retirement. In 1939, Martyn and his family made a commitment to serve the Westminster Chapel and made their home in London. Martyn's expository preaching was designed to allow the Word of God meet the hearer undiluted and in the power of the Spirit. At the Westminster Chapel, Martyn saw many led to the Lord and a widely diverse congregation began to emerge. After thirty years of ministry at Westminster, Martyn retired from the pulpit and committed himself to training other pastors and to writing. In 1981, Martyn fell sick and, convinced that his earthly work was completed, told his family, 'Don't pray for healing, don't try to hold me back from the glory,' and on March 1, Martyn went to be with the Savior he had lived so faithfully for.
