“The greatest battle a man faces,” says Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, “is against himself.” Why is this the case, and how is this known to be true from Scripture? In this sermon on Ephesians 6:10-13 titled “Man’s Greatest Problem: Self,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones works through how Satan tries to bring havoc into the lives of people, especially believers. How does he accomplish this? Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that the devil primarily uses pride to refocus people off the things of the Lord. One of his main methods in this is to take a person’s gift- whether it is singing, speech, knowledge, intellect or even conversion experience - and use it to make its possessor feel self-reliant and that they are above the spiritual state of other believers. How can Christians counter this threat? Scripture says Christians must face their fallenness and who they are with honesty, realizing that all are equal sinners in the sight of God. Additionally, one must see everything they have as coming from the Lord and not themselves, remembering that their gifts are to be used for the encouragement of other believers and the glory of the Lord. This proper view of themselves and what the Lord has given them will allow them to be humble in whatever level of life they occupy, knowing that their sole purpose is to please God.
This is a most needful sermon for today because of all the emphasis today on SELF...for example, self-acceptance, self-love, self-assertion, self-confidence, self-esteem and self-forgiveness all of which are popular today in 2024. As the late Dave Hunt said in his excellent book "The Seduction of Christianity" "The answer to depression is not to accept self, but to turn from self to Christ."
Friend,, so very well said, and thank you ✨✝️❣️
This man speaks with power in his words.
Glory to God.
I love these sermons! This great preacher wrote a volume on Ephesians 6:10-13 as well as a book on the whole chapter 6. I read the volume twice and still go back to it very much.
He wrote an entire commentary series on Ephesians. & also in Romans.
We love them also. He is our favorite
He also wrote on the sermon on the mount (mathew 5-7)

AMEN! Great Sermon, All Praise and Glory to our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!🙏🏽❤
Beautiful awesome teaching
Amen. Self satisfaction is deadly. Lord help us. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Then said Jesus unto His disciple's, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (MATTHEW 16:24)
Inspiring
So edified by these sermons 🙏
If this was the focus of Evangelicalism today, it would have strong credibility. Thank you for posting much- needed truth.
great preacher
I am so refreshed with these MLJ sermons. Thank you.
I only wish that my late Husband and his Dear Mother could have heard this man preach.
Awesome sermon!!! Praise The Only Lord Of Glory!!
How very salutary!
I've not hears any preacher 'tackling' this 'subject', certainly not in such a sober and objective manner.
To God only wise, only and ever, be all the glory 🎶
Thank God his sermons were recorded!
B h Clendennen "Self and it's pride".... or "pride" ....or "self"....here on youtube...it's an amazing sermon

Note This: 5yr uploaded invaluable LIFE giving message and 1.9k views as of 4/2/23 is a sadly accurate confirmation of Matthew 7:14... Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Lord Help Us Stay Encouraged!!
God leads his people here
This is a much needed sermon to be heard in today's self- satisfied and satiated society.
❤
His teachings takes me deeper in the word of God, also how to fellowship closer to God and the Lord Jesus Christ, reveals the God of Light and in Him there is no darkness, wonders of God.
Wonderful sermon. Thank you Lord amen 🙏🏽
That may be the most worthwhile sermon I have ever heard.
Lord help me to die to self.
Praise our Sovereign Yahweh!
