expository sermons are the absolutely best. you learn, you apply, you grow. always far more interesting than topical sermons which these days are more like motivational speaking
I A.m blessed by Dr. Lawson’s life. He is genuine christian, he lives What he teaches. He remains humble as I watch and him from a distance. I just listen to his preaching through the ligonier ministries and others. I don’t know him personally. I have‘ NT been to a ligonier conference or Masters seminary conference. I a.m from the Philippines and I consider myself to belong to the Reformed faith. The passing away of Dr. R.c. Sproul was a giant loss to the Reformed theology or faith that is now growing In different parts of the world. I a.m glad Dr. Lawson stayed with the Ligonier ministries. The Lord continues to use him mightily In his Ministry.
How to Put Together an Expository Sermon - Dr. Lawson Observation - What does this passage say on a macro and micro level? Interpretation - What does this Passage mean? - (Hermeneutics - Interpreting the literature of the Bible) Application - What are the timeless principles and it's implications. How can one apply this passage Unification - What is the dominant theme in this passage - THE BIG IDEA - There should be one dominant theme or one BIG point. Formation - There has to be structure (headings/main points) that revolve around the BIG IDEA. Illustrations - To help people relate Introduction and Conclusion - To draw the listener about the importance of why they should listen and you should end with impact and emotion
Thank you so much, Dr. Lawson! This was the best, succinct, straightforward yet, detailed overview or summation of how to prepare an expository sermon.
Thank you for not sugarcoating our reality here in the United States. We are in a very rapid moral and social decline. Evil is good, good is evil. We believers need to keep our eyes fixed on Christ.
Each of us who love to share Gods word are obligated and expected to walk gently and thoroughly thru our study --there are some really good coaching books on this subject. - would be honored to encourage you in this if possible. Stay hungry and thirsty
My grandfather, who lived during the 30s, 40s, etc., told me that "church," as the community saw it, was entirely different than it is today. His pastor was paid very little and worked as a handyman. The church did preach, but did also REACH out to the community and not just in words. The poor were given food. Some had home repairs done. Unemployed guys would get some work until they got a better job. He said that the community and the church were integrated together. People respected Christianity and many came to the Lord. We're not washing people's feet any more. Preach all you want. Talk about it all you want. People in this country are tuning out because we're preaching but not reaching.
Thank you. This is a great video. When I read the book Rightly Divided by Roy Zuck, it changed the way I approached scripture, and I heard the same points being made in this video. Thanks for making this.
Thank you Dr Lawson. While I can’t get to every point of your theology you are my top choice along with Sinclair Re studying the Scriptures. Very grateful. Dr Don
Very true we modern day preachers need to be aware of preparing our sermon. We pray for ministers like you... We learn from you and put it in our ministry life in India... DDBE prays for you. God bless you abundantly
They work in every part but the application is a really good way to drive home the point. Adrian Rogers was a master of application by illustration and he loved illustrations so much that I once saw him teaching a group of younger preachers and he was driving home the point that they needed to be readers and he said to read 3 books a week and that if you spent $20 on a book that you didn't really like but it had just ONE good illustration then it was WELL worth the investment. Illustrations are definitely great learning tools.
I like preachers illustrating sermons using other scriptures. Also using quick metaphors. What I don't like to sit through is preachers telling stories about themselves all the time.
This is primarily only the later part of his talk: Micro & macro Tip of the spear. (central point, central theme) Formation (Headings, structure) (stated or unstated) (lots analogies, images for the need for structure) Illustrations (don't just tell, show them) Introduction Conclusion PS. Ashish Mathew did a much better job
fedoracore321 He means the ending of each of the words. ObservatION, interpretatION, applicatION, formatION etc. He just said it to make the points easier to remember 🙂

I think we shouldn't discard topical sermon entirely. Both expository and topical sermons have their place when feeding the flock.
Dr. Lawson makes expository preaching very relatable and easy. God bless you Sir

The state of the church is exactly where it's at because it forgot its main job: preaching the Word of God.
God bless, ever since I started to put this in practice, I never regretted
Thank you Dr. Lawson

Great information
Thank you! Greetings from Russia!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 yessirr
observation, interpretation, application
True
I FOUND IT!!
Are there any books available on Mechanics of Expository Preaching?
Is there an inspired way (heaven ordained way) to prepare an expository sermon? I have read about multiple approaches.
fedoracore321 For as long as the approach requires you to carefully study the Scriptures, that is a good way of doing an expository sermon
Do you have printed material on this lecture that we can make a request?
Do the ilustrations have to be on every parts of the sermón? or only on the aplication? Blessings and thank you.
They work in every part but the application is a really good way to drive home the point. Adrian Rogers was a master of application by illustration and he loved illustrations so much that I once saw him teaching a group of younger preachers and he was driving home the point that they needed to be readers and he said to read 3 books a week and that if you spent $20 on a book that you didn't really like but it had just ONE good illustration then it was WELL worth the investment.

@@judylloyd7901 great point Judy, my wife feels the same way. you will over power the message with to many funny sounding, interesting, narratives
This is primarily only the later part of his talk:
Micro & macro
Tip of the spear. (central point, central theme)
Formation (Headings, structure) (stated or unstated) (lots analogies, images for the need for structure)

Introduction
Conclusion
PS. Ashish Mathew did a much better job
What is ION? he is speaking about OIA (Observation, Interpretation, Application)
fedoracore321 He means the ending of each of the words. ObservatION, interpretatION, applicatION, formatION etc. He just said it to make the points easier to remember 🙂
Thank you sir
