	Expository preaching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Expository preaching (also referred to as systematic exposition) is a form of preaching that expounds upon the meaning of a particular text or passage of Scripture.
		Expository preaching differs from topical preaching in that the former concentrates on a specific text and discusses topics covered therein, whereas the latter concentrates on a specific topic and references texts covering the topic.
		The lack of expository preaching is one of the main criticisms of the seeker movement, as outlined by critics such as MacArthur.

	Kingdom Come: Dangerous Preaching
		Expository preaching is based upon certain assumptions which actually diminish the authority of the text.
		But expository preaching, when accompanied by proper exegesis rather than isogesis), is less likely to allow for personal bias on the part of the preacher than other types of preaching because the "full counsel" of scripture is dealt with.
		"Expository preaching actually robs the Bible of its authority." When the expositor carefully exegetes the scripture, being careful to lay aside his bias, he is then able to communicate the truth of that passage to the congregation.

	The Pastor: His Expository Preaching (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Expository preaching is the declarative genre in which inerrancy finds its logical expression and the church has its life and power.
		For preaching to qualify for that designation it was not enough, in his view, that its content be biblical; addresses which concentrated upon word-studies, or which gave running commentary an analyses of whole chapters, might be termed "biblical", but that is not the same as exposition.
		Expository preaching, by insisting that the message of the sermon coincide with the theme of the text, calls the preacher back to his true task: the proclamation of the Word of God in and through the Bible.

		Expository preaching is authoritative because it stands upon the very authority of the Bible as the word of God.
		Expository preaching cannot be assigned a supporting role in the act of worship--it must be central.
		Expository preaching must once again be central to the life of the church and central to Christian worship.

		I remember, however, being surprised by the criticism stated, “Expository preaching is not the end all be all of preaching”.
		Expository preaching would be defined as the communication of a biblical concept, derived from and transmitted through a historical, grammatical, and literary study of a passage in its context, which the Holy Spirit first applies to the personality and experience of the preacher, then through the preacher, applies to the hearers, or something like that.
		If expository preaching is dangerous, because it "Expository preaching actually robs the Bible of its authority." Exactly what kind of preaching should we be doing and how does it not rob the bible of its authority and how does it not put mans opinion into the text.

	Powerful Expository Preaching: The Preparation of Expository Sermons, by Ray Stedman
		John Stott, who is a dear personal friend, and he and I are working together to advance the cause of expository preaching around the world at this moment, has said there are four marks, in his judgment, of expository preaching.
		They had not been taught this in their seminaries, or they had been given models to follow of thematic preaching, or of topical preaching, and they had no knowledge of how to go about letting the text deeply speak to the contemporary culture in which they were living.
		I preached through 1 and 2 Corinthians a year or so ago simply because everybody was struggling at that time with some of the issues that are treated there: sexual matters, how to handle single life, there is a great section there on that, how to handle conflict and division within the church.

	Suppository Preaching
		I believe in expository preaching, therefore, because it tends, by its very nature, to motivate a growth, not an entertainment mentality.
		Expository preaching, by its very nature of connecting one verse to the next, one chapter to the next, and one Sunday to the next, cultivates a mentality that thinks in terms of progression instead of equilibrium.
		The mere randomness of topical preaching in which a preacher takes a subject one week in one part of the Bible and an entirely different topic the next week from another portion of Scripture, tends to encourage a mindset in which it is easier to separate the sacred from the secular dimension of life.

		Expository preaching begins with the preacher's determination to present and explain the text of the Bible to his congregation.
		On the contrary, expository preaching begins with the text and works from the text to apply its truth to the lives of believers.

	On Expository Preaching, by Ray C. Stedman
		In my opinion, much of the present weakness in preaching is due to the failure of preachers to understand the uniqueness of what they are to preach, and its remarkable power to change a congregation, a community, a city, or even a nation.
		It is the business of preaching to change the total worldview of every member of the congregation; to dispel the secular illusions which are widely believed around, and to identify and underscore the concepts and practices that are right, and to do this for each member.
		Exposition is preaching that derives its content from the Scripture directly, seeking to discover its divinely intended meaning, to observe its effect upon those who first received it, and to apply it to those who seek its guidance in the present.

	Crosswalk.com - Expository Preaching and the Recovery of Worship (Part One)
		Though most evangelicals mention the preaching of the word as a necessary or customary part of worship, the prevailing model of worship in evangelical churches is increasingly defined by music, along with innovations such as drama and video presentations.
		Confronted by the presentation of the gospel and the preaching of the word, sinners are drawn to faith in Jesus Christ and the offer of salvation is presented to all who so respond.
		Expository preaching is central, irreducible, and nonnegotiable to the Bible's mission of authentic worship that pleases God.

		Secondly, expository preaching familiarizes people with the Scripture itself instead of simply giving them a speech, as true and as reflective of biblical teaching as that speech may be.
		Expository preaching is the only thing that is going to change anything.
		So the advantages of preaching expositorily and authoritatively in a postmodern culture are the same as they are in any environment where there is error—you bring an authoritative word to bear upon how people think.
