I've grown weary of the standard Pentecostal sermonizing. The John MacArthur approach of a continual commentary on the Bible, chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse, with minimal illustrations, has become very appealing to me

Cannot expository preaching fall into one of these three categories ? Expository preaching aims to expound upon a particular passage, in context, within one sermon. It would depend, to a large degree, upon the passage as to whether the sermon itself might be inspirational, etc. In my experience, the expository approach can’t be limited to the categories you list, any more than the Scriptures can be limited in that way. Maybe it depends on what the motivation of the speaker is. Exactly what does he want his preaching to accomplish

On the receiving end, in the pew, I prefer the INSPIRATIONAL! When I used to listen to the radio traveling at nights, it seemed the Radio preachers were 'manipulative.'I have known COG preachers who seemed to 'throw out the guilt trip' a lot, I assume that is manipulative. As a member I appreciate the 'expository' delivery. And yes that too can be manipulation if used to get to a predetermined personal desired end. I haven't noticed in our pastors. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I prefer expository preaching as my normal way of presenting the Word. I do not guilt people into attending our prayer meetings but let the Word challenge the truth of walking in the Spirit rather than letting our flesh and soulish realm dominate us.

The goal of expository preaching is to produce biblically well-informed disciples of Christ, who are themselves able interpret the Scriptures in context, properly handling the word of truth. I suppose some may have an agenda other than expounding the Scriptures, but such would be a real betrayal of the core concept of expository preaching itself. I am persuaded there are some preachers who feel threatened by biblically well-informed disciples of Christ, who are themselves able interpret the Scriptures in context, properly handling the word of truth
