The first was a radio service, "Know the Truth." The second was building a pastoral team. Be faithful as a 'man of God'. Your preaching of the Word is vital in changing people, just as the preached Word has changed you.” The title “Man of God” is strongly associated with those who preach and teach the Word of God. Christ's ascension was the fulfillment of God's promise in Psalm 132:11: "The Lord swore to David with a firm oath.
This point is made clearer by the use of the word 'correct'. The pastor who spends a lot of time on the correct interpretation of his sermon need not fear embarrassment. 2 Timothy 3:1 says, “But understand this: Hard times will come in the last days.” The “last days” refer to the days after Christ. Be faithful as the "man of God." Your preaching of the Word is instrumental in changing people, just as the Word preached has changed you.” The title "Man of God" is closely associated with those who preach and teach the Word of God.
The only pertinent and enlightening point Spurgeon made was point one: "Who gives us songs in the night?" The main point of the passage is that joy is found in the Lord in our time of trouble.
Sermon 1 went well. I was well prepared for the occasion and it flowed out of something I am extremely passionate about, expository preaching
Based on this data, each minister evaluated my skills as an explanatory preacher and many other criteria related to the presentation of the text. A test was administered at the beginning and end of the seminar to measure pre- and post-student values for explanatory sermons. The twenty-five questions about the nature of expository preaching included a subjective question-and-answer questionnaire.
This general question and answer about the nature of expository preaching was provided and students answered to the best of their knowledge. This third set of data was analyzed to make inferences about the success or failure of the expository preaching seminar with more subjective results. However, one had to drop out and the other two missed most of the class.
I was well prepared for this opportunity and it came from something I am extremely passionate about, expository preaching. Mission Impossible' was a comparison to how we feel about the task of preaching, or a contrast to the possibility of an explanatory preaching mission given to us. The average score for sermon one in the illustration section of the evaluation form was nine out of ten.
Every pastor noted that the sermon was true to the text and they believe it.
In sermon 2 I opened with a video of asking people in the
Each pastor commented that the sermon was true to the text and they believe he did the job of getting the point of the text across. The illustration portion scored the same results, and the pastors were satisfied with the presentation of the truth of the sermon. For a list of eleven students in total and eight being evaluated, please see Appendix 10.
While their confidence was much stronger in the post-class questionnaire, so was their knowledge of the points and process of expository preaching. Overall, each student showed improvement in both confidence and knowledge of the components of preparing to preach. These men were so convinced of the superiority of expository preaching that they wanted to learn to do this work by attending class.
Undoubtedly, each student left with a sense of the high calling of preaching and a desire to take it seriously. The main reason for the number of quality students was the pre-selection of the core of the class. I recently sat down with my pastoral staff and reviewed the results of the class, how these men have grown in their appreciation of expository preaching and their ability to reveal God's Word.
There is nothing more fulfilling in my life than seeing young men rise up with a joyful desire to preach the Word and grasp the essence of the text.

INTRODUCTION
Expository Preaching
There are Four types of preaching
Thematic - When the preacher begins with a desire to preach on a theme, he then searches many texts and brings them together related to a common theme. Textual – Where the preacher uses a short text to introduce whatever topic the preacher chooses to cover. Expository preaching usually focuses on a single text of Scripture and draws the message from that single Scripture, supported by others.
Expository-thematic - In these sermons, the preacher exposits specific verses in their contexts throughout the Bible to show a theological or truth theme that is not fully understood in a passage (eg, Suffering).
Five elements that make an expository sermon
-topical – In these sermons, the preacher sets forth specific verses in their context throughout the Bible to show a theological theme or truth that is not fully understood in one passage (eg, Suffering). It is not a commentary that runs from word to word and verse to verse without unity, outline and continuous drive. It is not a mass of incoherent propositions and inferences based on the surface meaning of a passage, but not supported by a depth and breadth study of the text.
It is not pure exegesis, no matter how scholarly, if it lacks theme, thesis, outline, and development. It is not simply a structural outline of a passage with some supporting comments but no other rhetorical or preaching elements. It is not a topical homily that uses scattered parts of the passage and omits discussion of other equally important parts.
It is not a Sunday School discussion that has an overview of content, informality and fervor, but without sermon structure and rhetorical ingredients. It is not the ordinary devotional or prayer meeting that combines running commentary, extended remarks, incoherent suggestions and personal responses to a semi-inspired discussion, but it lacks the benefits of the basic exegetical-contextual study and persuasive elements. 1 Corinthians 6:1 – If one of you has a complaint against another, dare he appear before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
4 So if you have such cases, why do you explain them to those who have no position in the church.
SELECTING AND STUDYING THE TEXT
- Question #1: Explanation: What does it Mean?
- Question #2: Prove: Is it True?
Examine the text: Is the author of your particular passage. develop his thinking through explanation. We want to build comprehensibility in our audience – to really understand what is going on in the text. Are there elements in the passage that the Bible writer takes for granted with which his listeners are familiar?
3 Reasons Proof is Needed
There is a lost Connection
What is the connection between how I treat my wife and my prayers being heard and answered. Make sure the listener sees the connection in any cause/effect statement that contains or implies language such as "leads to," "results in," "produces," "arises from," "causes," etc. Cause/effect type arguments make a “logical leap” and you need to make sure the audience “crosses the bridge” with you.
There is a seeming Contradiction to life experience?
In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives. Yes, but I know a fine Christian woman who tried it and was taken advantage of all the more. If you preach "Sexual chastity is a commandment for the Christian", you must prove that it is true despite the apparent exceptions to the rule.
There is a belief that competes with the scriptural truth?
- Question #3: Apply: What Difference does it make?
It is not enough to focus on the truth of Scripture in a positive, isolated way. If he does not apply it, then you must do it.. C. The purpose of preaching is not knowledge alone, but behavior. I especially want to thank the eleven students who participated in the Expository preaching class.
