Expositional Preaching

Short Guide Offers Practical Advice for Aspiring Expositors of God's Word

Preachers fill our church pulpits, conference stages, and television airwaves. But the question remains: What is good preaching really like? In this accessible volume—written for preachers and preachers in training—pastor David Helm outlines what it takes to be a faithful proclaimer of God's word. After exploring ways preaching can fall short of biblical exposition, Helm outlines a process of sermon preparation that ensures a more accurate handling of the biblical text. Moving from exegesis and theological reflection to the contextualized needs of today, this short book offers practical, step-by-step guidance for preaching that will promote the health and holiness of the church.
