Expository Preaching?
I've started my journey through Bryan Chapell's book Christ-Centered Preaching and already in the first chapter I have been challenged greatly. I thought about posting some thoughts as I go through the book but that gets daunting sometimes so I figured that maybe I'll pull some quotes that stuck out. Here is one of them:
An expository sermon may be defined as a message whose structure and thought are derived from a biblical text, that covers the scope of the text, and that explains the features and context of the text in order to disclose the enduring principles for faithful thinking, living, and worship intended by the Spirit, who inspired the text. The expository sermon uses the features of the text and its context to explain what that portion of the Bible means. (pg. 31)
