My preferred style of preaching is expository preaching. To be sure, there is a place for topical sermons and other aspects of crafting a message for the church, but primarily, I much prefer to preach expositorily.
In doing so, it helps me to grow just as much as it does the listeners sitting in the pews. I enjoy taking a passage and moving from the page of Scripture to the pulpit, describing what the passage means, and how we can use it in application for our lives today as well.
To that end, I want to be the best preaching I can be, and studying books on the topic is always helpful. This book, New Testament Exposition, by Walter L. Liefeld, was one of the books I read in college for a homiletics class. While it has been around for a while, it is proving helpful to pull it out and reread it again.
Hopefully, it will reinforce some things I practice, and remind of things I need to incorporate into my sermon crafting and delivery. It’s available on Amazon from a variety of sellers. If you preach regularly, I recommend that you pick up a copy.
