Consecutive Expository Preaching

DateMonday, April 19, 2010 at 11:24AM |

 

Christopher Ash has a new book out. Check out this quote from his appendix on the blessings of consecutive, expository preaching (that is, preaching through books of the Bible, taking the main point of a text and making it the main point of the sermon):
  1. Consecutive expository preaching makes it harder for us to abuse the Bible by reading it out of context.
  2. Consecutive expository preaching dilutes the selectivity of the preacher.
  3. Consecutive expository preaching keeps the content of the sermon fresh and surprising.
  4. Consecutive expository preaching makes for variety in the style of the sermon.
  5. Consecutive expository preaching models good nourishing Bible reading for the ordinary Christian.
  6. Consecutive expository preaching helps us preach the whole Christ from the whole of Scripture.
  7. Consecutive expository preaching safeguards God’s agenda against being hijacked by ours.
