Churches that practice expository preaching will give you a greater Biblical foundation
​Staying True to Scripture: Expository preaching is the method least likely to stray from the Bible. Unlike topical preaching, which might drift into themes disconnected from Scripture’s central message, expository preaching keeps the focus on what God’s Word is truly saying. This ensures that every sermon aligns with the overarching narrative of the Bible.
​
Teaching Bible Reading Skills: As the preacher works through passages systematically, listeners are shown how to read and interpret the Bible themselves. This helps believers understand not only the text being preached but also how to apply these principles when studying Scripture on their own.
​
Confidence in God’s Message: With expository preaching, the preacher can confidently proclaim God’s truth. Faithfulness to the text ensures that the message is not based on personal opinion but rooted in divine authority. This brings peace to both the preacher and the congregation, knowing they are hearing God’s Word directly.
​
Balanced Relevance: While sermons need to connect with contemporary life, expository preaching ensures relevance without being swayed by cultural trends. It keeps eternal truths central while still addressing modern issues, ensuring God’s Word speaks into every aspect of life.
​
Handling Difficult Topics: Expository preaching doesn’t skip over tough or controversial passages. As the preacher works through books of the Bible, they are compelled to address difficult topics, such as marriage, morality, and gender roles, allowing the congregation to engage with the full counsel of God.
​
Comprehensive Teaching: Over time, expository preaching covers the whole Bible, ensuring that a church is fed the full breadth of God’s wisdom. This approach brings balance, depth, and a fuller understanding of God’s redemptive plan throughout Scripture.
​
Choosing a church that prioritizes expository preaching will help you stay grounded in biblical truth, equip you to read and apply Scripture, and ensure you’re receiving the complete counsel of God’s Word week after week.
