The Nature of Expository Preaching

For pastors, expository preaching is not just an optional style that God makes available to them—it is the standard method by which they are to proclaim His Word. The exposition of Scripture prevents the preacher from avoiding difficult passages and makes the biblical text central to the sermon’s framework. Alistair Begg reminds us that preaching grounded in God’s Word ensures that the preacher studies his Bible carefully and that the congregation receives a balanced diet of biblical truth.
