Preaching Scripture Expositionally
It's been well stated that “expositional preaching is far and away the most important mark of a healthy church.” Dr. John MacArthur listed the following benefits of exposition: 1) It allows God to speak not man 2) It brings the preacher into direct and continual contact with the mind of the Holy Spirit 3) It frees the preacher to proclaim all the revelation of God, producing a ministry of wholeness and integrity 4) It promotes biblical literacy, yielding rich knowledge of redemptive truths 5) It carries ultimate divine authority, rendering the very voice of God 6) It transforms the preacher, leading to transformed congregations.
Dick Mayhue, our Dean and Senior Vice President of The Masters Seminary, explained it this way, "by expositionally, we mean preaching in such a way that the meaning of the Bible passage is presented entirely and exactly as it was intended by God. If we believe that all Scripture is inspired by God and inerrant, must we not be equally committed to the reality that it is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17)? The only logical response to inerrant Scripture, then, is to preach it expositionally. Any form of preaching that ignores that intended purpose and design of God falls short of the divine plan."
