EXPOSITORY PREACHING
1. Nature of expository preaching

Our task as preachers is not to give a sermon but to

deliver a message from God’s Word to God’s people.

Expository preaching involves:

• Proclaiming the text of God’s Word in a systematic way.

• Explaining the meaning so people can understand.

• Exhorting people to obey and apply the truth.

 Characteristics of true expository preaching

• Takes and systematically explains the text by

paragraphs in the general order and context in which it
appears.

• Preachers through chapter, sections and books of

the Bible.

• Allows the text to determine both the content content

and structure of the message derived from it.

• Is not topical but many topics will be covered in due

time as the Word is unfolded.
2. A biblical example of expository preaching/teaching (Ne. 8:1-6, 8-9, 12, 15)

• “were instructing the people.” (Vs. 9) [explanation]

• “The people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the law.” (vs 9)
[response]

• “Because they now understood the words that had been made known
them.” (vs12) [understanding]

• “Go out into the hill country…to make booths - sit is written.”(vs15)
[obedience] The elements of biblical exposition:

Explanation to give understanding

Instruction - teaching

Conviction of the people

Response to the truth in obedience.

3. Need for expository preaching (Am. 8:11)

• Accurately describes the situation then and now. There is “a famine of hearing the
words of the Lord”.

• God has promised to bless His Word’ not our words (Isa 55:10-11)
• Negative reason for expository preaching
Use very little of God’s Word

Express the opinions, traditions and philosophies of men.

Promote the word’s view of success measured by numbers, cize, appearance.

Entertain more than instruct.

Promise of health, wealth and material prosperity.

Tell people what they want to hear and what makes them fell god.

Are topical, often taking verses out of context

• Positive reason for expository preaching
Authority of the Word (1 The. 2:13)

People need to hear the truth (Jn. 8:31-32)

The Word has the power to convict and change people

(Heb. 4:12)

Addresses people’s real Problems (Act. 18:11; 20:20, 27)

Demonstrates the sufficiency of the word (Ps. 19:7-11)

• Other important definitions
Exegesis: The process of carefully and analyzing the
text to determine its original meaning.

Hermeneutics: The rules of interpretation applied to the

text of Scripture during Bible study.

Homiletics: The process os taking the results os our

Bible study (exegesis) an developing it in form os a
biblical message (sermon) to communicate others.
 Preparation of a Biblical
Message
There are essentially two aspects of preparation-
1) - preparing the preacher, and
2) - preparing the message.

*The neglect of either will result in ineffective preaching

1. Preparing the man

a. Secrets of effective personal preparation
There is a direct relationship between the effectiveness of our preaching and the quality of
our walk with God.

A great 19th Century Scottish preacher, Robert

Murray M' Cheyne, once said
"My people's greatest need is my personal holiness.”

John Owen, a 17th Century English pastor, put it this way-

"The Word must dwell in us with power before it can go forth from us with power.
 Personal Life Pulpit
Prayer Power
Character Credibility

• The pastor must pay close attention to himself (1 Ti.

4:16) in four key areas:

Personal character. integrity

• Paul said, "follow my example as I follow the example

of Christ” (1 Co. 11:1)

• The preacher must be

• above reproach 1 Ti. 3:1-2
• have a good reputation 1 Ti. 3:7
• live exemplary before the world 1 Pe. 2:12
• Pulpit credibility is directly related to personal character.

Prayer communion with God

"We will give our attention to prays and the ministry of the Word.” Ac.

6:244 PRAY

• before you prepare your message.

• as you prepare your message. while you deliver your message.

• during the call for response.

• for God to continue the work He starts in those who respond.

Power the energizing of the Word and the preacher

• Proclaim Christ in the power of the Spirit, not our

own strength. Col. 1:28, 29

• Purpose to rest in God's power to present the message of

His Word. 1 Co. 2:4,5

• Be filled (directed, controlled, influenced) by the Holy

Spirit. Eph. 5:18
 2. Preparing the message
a) Preliminary matters

• Pray for wisdom and guidance for God to show you what Scripture to use in
view of the needs of your church or audience.

• Read through the entire book of the Bible which you choose to use before
you preach your first message from that book. Read the introduction and
outline at the start of the book.

• Make sure you understand the basic theme and purpose of the book.
• Start at the beginning of the book and choose a section of Scripture
containing from a few verses up to a whole chapter depending on the
subject. Of course, an expository message can be preached on any
appropriate passag (chapter, verse, etc.).

• Study by paragraphs. A paragraph is one or more sentences concerning the

same subject or containing the same thought. In The NIV Study Bible new
paragraphs a shown by "indenting."
•
Passion enthusiasm and expectation in preaching the Word

• Two elements of passion:

- Enthusiasm - fervor, zeal, excitement for God and His

Word delight in the Word - Ps. 1:1-2

love for God's law - Ps. 119:97

ambition to preach - Ro. 15:20

eager to preach - Ro. 1:15

- Expectation - confident trust in God to produce fruit

1) that people will hear God speak through you as preacher - 1 Th. 2:13

2) that people will respond and change - 1 Th. 1:5-7

3) that people will be saved - Ro. 1:16

4) that people will be instructed and encouraged by the Word - Ro. 15:4
Main Idea = a summary statement of the basic truth taught by the passage.

b) Determining the main ideia:

The process of determining the main idea of a passage of Scripture

involves asking two basic questions:

What is the subject of the passage?

What does the passage say about the subject?

Subject

What is talked about

Main idea

Completer

What is said about the subject

• Read the passage over and over again until you know it
quite well, then meditate on the truths taught.

• Read the verses or chapter which come before and after the passage
you select to establish the context. Read any parallel or related
passages. Use your Concordance, Index to Study Notes, Cross
Reference System
and Study Notes.

• Study the passage carefully using the three steps you have
learned: Observe the text (What does it say?) - Exegesis

Interpret the text. (What does it mean?) - Hermeneutics

Apply the text (What do I do?) - Homiletics

Think you’re way backward and forward through the passage.

• Determine the main ideia, thought, concept or truth from the passage.
If you are not quite sure what the passage is really saying, meditate on
it and pray for God to show you.
