Session 5: Expository Preaching: How To Do It

Ecclesiastes 12:9-12

October 20, 2014 • Pastor Skip Heitzig

In Session Five—Expository Preaching: How To Do It, Pastor Skip Heitzig details instruction from the book of Ecclesiastes 12:9-12 as the scripture says, “The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails-given by one shepherd.” It is a priority as a preacher to pray and study God’s Word, ponder and consider the text of the Bible and listening to the voice of God for directed authority. In order to preach God’s Word accurately and persuasively it is essential for an expositor to prepare a sermon with creativeness and clarity. The expositor should encourage the individual listener to apply God’s saving Scripture to their own life and sanctification

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.
