Expository Preaching (A definition of expository preaching) (06)
John Piper said, "The keynote in the mouth of every prophet-preacher, whether in Isaiah's day or Jesus' day or our day, is ‘Your God is the King of universe'; he has absolute creator rights over this world and everyone in it.
Rebellion and mutiny are on all sides, however, and hid authority is scorned by millions. So the Lord sends preachers in the world to cry out that God reigns, that he will vindicate his name in great and terrible wrath. But they are also sent to cry that for now a full and free amnesty is offered to all the rebel subjects who will turn from their rebellion, call on him for mercy bow before his throne, and swear allegiance and fealty to him forever. The amnesty is signes in the blood of his on." (John Piper, The Supremacy of God in Preaching, 1990).
What are the expectations of the hearers when the preacher is preaching. Of course, they want to hear the voice of God. God speaks through Biblical preaching because He speaks through His Word. In I Peter 1:23, 25, it is saying, "For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God......but the word of the Lord stands forever."
And this is the word that was preached to you." And Rome 10:13-15 say, "for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
