Summary

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. 

In this episode, H.B. discusses theological disciplines for expository preaching. 

As a student and advocate of expository preaching, I believe that it is the most faithful way to handle God's word. 

The bottom line of this episode is that faithful exposition is theologically informed. It should be doctrinal, not merely devotional. Beyond the exegetical text work, theological reflection should shape your sermon preparation. 

What are the theological disciplines for expository preaching? 

  1. Biblical Theology
  2. Historical Theology 
  3. Systematic Theology 
  4. Practical Theology

In this episode, I want to talk to you about theological disciplines for expository preaching.

explain and apply the God-intended message of the text.

1:18.8

When I say that I'm a student and an advocate of expository preaching, I have been given

1:24.8

myself to this for my adult life, but I consider myself still a student.

1:32.5

I am not an expert in expository preaching. If you listen to this podcast regularly, you will

1:40.2

hear me pontificating about expositional preaching, biblical preaching, faithful preaching.

1:48.0

But all that I say about preaching reflects my passion, my devotion, and my convictions about

1:56.4

biblical preaching doesn't mean to indicate that I have all of this personally mastered. I do not.

2:06.9

I am a student of expositional preaching, and I am an advocate of expositional preaching. I seek to

2:15.8

at least of expositional preaching whenever I have the opportunity. Why expositional preaching?

2:26.3

Well, I can spend a whole podcast or a series of podcast episodes discussing the answer to that question.

2:33.2

But here, let me just simply say, I believe that

2:37.6

expositional preaching is the most faithful way to handle the Word of God. It is the most

2:47.2
