Why Expository Preaching?

Here are some good reasons for the model of preaching that we follow at EFCMM.

Alistair Begg:

Why should expository preaching be recovered and faithfully practiced?

• It gives glory to God alone. Since expository preaching begins with the text of Scripture, it’s starts with God and is in itestlf an act of worship.
• It makes the preacher study God’s Word. The first heart God’s Word needs to reach is the preacher.
• It helps the congregation. It enables the congregation to learn the Bible.
• It demands treatment of the entire Bible. It prevents the preacher from avoiding difficult passages or from dwelling on only his favorite texts.
• It provides a balanced diet. Exposition affirms the priority and sufficiency of a text. We serve our people best when we make clear that we are committed to teaching the Bible by teaching the Bible.
• It eliminates Saturday night fever. It liberates the preacher from last minute preparation and it doesn’t leave the congregation wondering what the preacher will talk about on Sunday.
