Preach the Word: A Guide for Expository Preaching

Sermons come in a variety of forms, predominantly expository and topical.  I concentrate in this book on expository sermons because they are the most basic and promote a close adherence to the biblical message.  In addition, expository sermons model how to study the Bible for your congregation. Expository sermons are based on a passage, which provides the basis for the objective, proposition, and development of the sermon.  In this book I introduce a simple method for building expository sermons.  This method is presented in a step-by-step format for the sake of clarity, but the building of an expository sermon is a dynamic process that is difficult to outline. You should not neglect allowing the Holy Spirt to lead you as you prepare your expository sermon. After I introduce a simple method for developing expository sermons, I illustrate how to prepare expository sermons using passages from both the Old and New Testaments.
