Expository Preaching Plans and Methods

Publisher:

, 1912

Overview

Baptist preacher Frederick Brotherton Meyer writes under the conviction that only expository preaching of the Bible “resists the wear and tear of time in a long pastorate with its steady and unceasing demand for sermons, week in, week out, which feed and nourish and inspire the flock.” Meyer defines and defends expository preaching, and examines how Jesus preached out of Scripture. This volume is a valuable resource for both the young and experienced preacher.

“We are now able, in the light of these distinctions, to define Expository Preaching as the consecutive treatment of some book or extended portion of Scripture on which the preacher has concentrated head and heart, brain and brawn, over which he has thought and wept and prayed, until it has yielded up its inner secret, and the spirit of it has passed into his spirit.” (Page 29)

“There is no way of preaching morality so effective as to set forth the kind of character which springs from the love of the redeemed to the Redeemer. What we need is the old, old story preached by new, new men! Ethics by all means; but the fair temple must have its foundations set deep in the death which destroyed Him that had the power of death, and delivered them who throughout their lives had been subject to bondage.” (Page 5)

“one supreme object of the Christian ministry is to preach Christ, and Him crucified” (Page 3)

“The highest point of sermon-utterance is when a preacher is ‘possessed,’ and certainly, in the judgment of the writer, such possession comes oftenest and easiest to a man who has lived, slept, walked and eaten in fellowship with a passage for the best part of a week.” (Page 30)

“Mr. Moody said, shrewdly: ‘It is better to set a hundred men to work than to do the work of a hundred men.’” (Page 41)
