The Basics of Expository Preaching

Expository preaching begins with a particular portion of Scripture—but it doesn’t end there. Alistair Begg explains that an expositor’s job goes beyond accurate exegesis of a text; it also includes listening for the “melodic line” that runs throughout the entire Bible and helping listeners understand why a passage matters to them. Pastors must commit to preaching what the Bible says without bias, allowing Scripture to establish the framework and content of every sermon.
