What are the different kinds of preaching?

The Lay of the Land

The Details

• The content of expositional preaching is the true word of God.
  • An exposition of Scripture simply seeks to uncover, explain, and apply the divinely intended meaning of the text. 
• The context of expositional preaching is the pure church of God.
  • The local church is God’s primary receptacle for His preached Word. 
  • This kind of preaching will prove itself relevant when the local community of believers backs it up with lifestyles marked by holiness, joy, and selfless service.
• The goali of expositional preaching is for the people of God to hear and heed the Word of God.
  • In this sense,expositional preachers are modern day prophets, serving merely as conduits through which the Word of God may flow into the people of God in order to do the work of God in them
