Statement on Expository Preaching

Adopted 12/3/06

• Since God's Word is the basis of everything we believe and do, our study of God's Word must be taken seriously.

• The Bible says that preaching is the chief means for communicating God's Word.

• Topical preaching takes a subject and then seeks to find passages related to it whereas expository preaching starts with a passage and draws application.

• Topical preaching is more prone to man's ideas whereas expository preaching is more prone to communicate God's ideas.

• God knows better what we need, how we need it, and when we need it. Scripture offers perfect emphasis, repetition, and organization for learning.

• Expository preaching trusts God's judgment. Our Conclusion

• Wyatt church primarily practices expository preaching.
