1Expositional preaching is highly regarded in Reformed churches--but do you sometimes wonder why? Isn't it more efficient to study God's Word in our own quiet times? Isn't it more fun to discuss Scripture in a small group? As a means of grace, preaching has a unique sin-killing, life-giving power that brings great blessing into our lives. Pastor David Strain establishes the basic biblical and theological foundations of preaching, highlights historical examples, and answers questions, fears, and objections about expositional preaching in a Reformed church. Informative and encouraging, this short book serves as a helpful primer for pastors, study groups, and laypeople on expositional preaching and its place in the life of a Christian and the worship of the church.
