I’ve grown weary of the standard Pentecostal sermonizing. The John MacArthur approach of a continual commentary on the Bible, chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse, with minimal illustrations, has become very appealing to me________________
A question
Cannot expository preaching fall into one of these three categories ________________
Cannot expository preaching fall into one of these three categories ?
Cannot expository preaching fall into one of these three categories ? Expository preaching aims to expound upon a particular passage, in context, within one sermon. It would depend, to a large degree, upon the passage as to whether the sermon itself might be inspirational, etc. In my experience, the expository approach can’t be limited to the categories you list, any more than the Scriptures can be limited in that way. Maybe it depends on what the motivation of the speaker is. Exactly what does he want his preaching to accomplish________________
On the receiving end, in the pew, I prefer the INSPIRATIONAL! When I used to listen to the radio traveling at nights, it seemed the Radio preachers were ‘manipulative.’I have known COG preachers who seemed to ‘throw out the guilt trip’ a lot, I assume that is manipulative. As a member I appreciate the ‘expository’ delivery. And yes that too can be manipulation if used to get to a predetermined personal desired end. I haven’t noticed in our pastors. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
I prefer expository preaching as my normal way of presenting the Word. I do not guilt people into attending our prayer meetings but let the Word challenge the truth of walking in the Spirit rather than letting our flesh and soulish realm dominate us.

The goal of expository preaching is to produce biblically well-informed disciples of Christ, who are themselves able interpret the Scriptures in context, properly handling the word of truth. I suppose some may have an agenda other than expounding the Scriptures, but such would be a real betrayal of the core concept of expository preaching itself. I am persuaded there are some preachers who feel threatened by biblically well-informed disciples of Christ, who are themselves able interpret the Scriptures in context, properly handling the word of truth________________

It’s amazing how many I’ve examined are manipulative________________
Re: I’ve been studying messages and sermons
What do you mean by manipulative? Endeavoring to get an individual or group to bend to your wishes. While the wishes may not be inherently evil, they may be man centered, an appeal for more money, aa vote to go a certain way, etc. just spitballing examples off the top of my head________________
Is topical preaching while expository preaching has more depth and produces more lasting benefits________________
Expository preaching through a book is great
It allows for continuity, consistent learning, and no one can accuse you of aiming at them. If someone gets hit, that topic would have been coming for a period of time and no one but God would have known they were going to be there this morning________________
I agree 100%. However, it should also be noted also that expository doesn’t mean you have to go through an entire book. To exposit is simply to explain or describe the meaning of the text. So with that said, I think there is a place for topical preaching as long as texts are not completely removed from their immediate context. Otherwise one would never be able to preach from the book of Proverbs. Try doing a series verse-by-verse through Proverbs and report back to me I prefer the method you’re suggesting Rough. Just wanted to add some counterpoint. I see church signs which advertise expository preaching and I know what they mean. They’re going through a book of the bible one chapter at a time. But true expository preaching is not limited to that. Some of those same churches that boast of expository preaching also have KJV 1611 on the signs
