What's the Difference?

Expository preaching is committed to explaining what the text of Scripture means and giving an exhortation to a proper application.

There is a lot of preaching which is not expository. Preachers may say they do exposition but they are not careful to define what is meant by expository preaching.

You might say, “What’s the difference? As long as the sermon helps me, then that’s all that matters.” Not really. If you don’t get the explanation right then you can’t make a right and helpful application.

And, when things get hard in life, unless you can turn to the Scripture with a confidence that you understand what it means then your faith will suffer. Weak explanation leads to weak living.

At Believers Fellowship we are committed to expository preaching. We want to know what God said.
