The Value of Expository Preaching

We have the privilege of having our radio spot come on right after Grace to You with John MacArthur. What you just hear on Grace to You is an example of expository preaching.

Expository preaching means that you explain the text of Scripture and give the application of it.

To do expository preaching, the preacher must cut it straight in his study. He must discover the meaning of the text as God intended it. That means he needs to consider the original language, the historical context, and the culture in which the Scripture was written so that he will come to the original meaning.

Then, the skilled expositor must be able to apply the meaning of the text to the people listening to him today. It is demanding work but it yields fruit that glorifies the Lord.

At Believers Fellowship we are committed to expository preaching. Come visit us any Sunday and go on line to believers-fellowship.org for more information.
