Expository Preaching

This course explores the rationale for and methods of Christ-centered preaching in local church contexts. Students will first concentrate on key components of expository messages and then focus on how to ensure such sermons remain true to the redemptive message of all of Scripture by considering principles in biblical theology as they apply to various texts and genres of Scripture. In addition, we will explore how the gospel of grace revealed throughout Scripture motivates and empowers the Christian life.
