In Session Six—Making Your Words Count, Pastor Jeff Lasseigne clarifies how to improve on preaching an expository message by choosing words carefully. He recalls the importance of using the guidelines of a four-step format, which includes what the text, says, what the text means, what the text illustrates and what is its application. From introduction, body and conclusion a teacher of the Bible accurately imparts the scriptures just how God intended. For a considerate message teaching God’s people, the Gospel of Salvation a preacher needs Prayer, research, preparation and a blessed passion for God’s Word for God’s Glory.
Session 6: Making Your Words Count

Session 1: The Charge
October 20, 2014 • Pastor John Miller
In Session One—entitled The Charge, Pastor John Miller explains the five commands included in the Word of God from 2 Timothy 4:1-8 and the imperative charge to preach the Gospel. Expository preaching of the Bible says, faithfully teach the inspired Word of God by teaching what the scriptures actually say and factually mean. Now is the time to proclaim the Holy Scripture as it convicts and convinces the sinner unto Christ’s salvation.
Session 2: A Theology of Biblical Interpretation
October 20, 2014 • Pastor Brian Nixon
In Session Two—entitled A Theology of Biblical Interpretation, Pastor Brian Nixon teaches from the book of 3 John 1:1-4 describing the importance of what it means to understand what the Bible says about truth and walking in the truth. Preaching God’s Word reveals and communicates God’s truth as the power of the scriptures mold and helps those who listen. Interpreting the Word of God includes studying the Bible as scriptural truth; and as toil working towards truth, and as testimony as a witness of the truth. As the world changes towards a varied concept of truths, it is imperative that each Christian and preacher know the truth of the Bible and share its loving message.
