Why Expository Preaching? May 25, 2025 Pastor Ben Bufkin 20:15 Because the Word is sufficient and authoritative 36:48 Because the Word produces a worshipping people 44:50 Because the Word is transformational
Segment 1 • Expository preaching is drifting toward dry, academic lectures instead of soul-stirring truth. • Modern sermons often explain grammar and context but fail to spotlight Jesus. • The goal isn't just to educate minds but to ignite hearts with the beauty of Christ. Segment 2 • Too many pulpits aim for precision but miss power—biblical preaching should pierce the heart. • Reformers preached experientially, not mechanically—90% application, 10% exegesis. • Every sermon must ask: “Does this help me love Christ more?” Segment 3 • In 1805, missionaries signed the Serampore Agreement—still reshaping missions today. • Carey called us to treasure lost souls and learn their world to reach their hearts. • If we don't understand Gen Z's language and idols, we'll fail to evangelize them. Segment 4 • Tim Challies reviews John Mark Comer's latest book—filled with mystical practices and a deficient gospel. • Comer trades “Jesus crucified” for “live like Jesus”—but behavior can't save. • When mindfulness replaces repentance, the church loses the real gospel. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

In this sermon, Jim Osman powerfully unpacks the believer's resurrection hope from Psalm 16:9–11. Emphasizing that resurrection hope is personal, prophesied, and pleasurable, he demonstrates how David's words ultimately point to Christ's victory over death. Osman also shows how this resurrection hope not only assures eternal life but transforms how Christians view death and anticipate the joys of God's presence. ★ Support this podcast ★
Alex Duke, Director of Training and Sending at 3rd Avenue Baptist Church and Senior Editor at 9 Marks joins the podcast. Kyle and Alex discuss the perils of separating youth from the larger Church body as well as some principles healthy churches should strive for. They cover topics like communion, baptism, membership and more. Alex and Kyle agree that healthy churches are likelier to produce lasting disciples. Alex explains the goals of expository preaching and encourages youth pastors to stick around for the long haul as we never know what kind of seeds we are planting and what work the Holy Spirit will do later in the lives of the students we've ministered to.

The Sanhedrin assembles to put Yeshua's Apostles on trial… but when they go to get them from a jail cell, they are nowhere to be found.
The Apostles, though faced with persecution, continue to teach the people about their life in Yeshua. Sometimes miracles happen in the life of the follower. Sometimes they come in the form of a heavenly messenger.

In the first sermon of our Courageous series, we looked at the value of expository preaching and teaching. This method of teaching allows Scripture to speak for itself and interpret itself, placing each passage within the greater story of redemption. In Nehemiah 8, the people of Israel gathered with eager hearts to hear the Word read and explained. After Ezra read the Law, the people responded in worship, even before it was interpreted. Then, the Levites helped them understand it more deeply through teaching. Similarly, in Luke 24, Jesus Himself opened the Scriptures to His disciples, revealing how everything pointed to Him. Expository preaching helps people grasp the Bible's message as it was intended—within the bigger story of God’s redemption. When we commit to this kind of preaching, we allow God's Word to shape and correct our understanding of who He is, leading us into a deeper relationship with Christ and personal transformation.
It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers! Segment 1 • Is the rise of expository preaching putting the church in danger? Segment 2 • Does a devotional filled with Scripture automatically make it solid? • Does Satan really know us better than we know ourselves? • How do I keep my patience when everything in life seems frustrating? Segment 3 • If God is sovereign and good, does He ever “react” to situations? Segment 4 • After my death, does my husband have a biblical duty to care for my parents? ___ Thanks for listening!
