Unit 2, Lesson 7
EXPOSITIONAL PREACHING – Proclaiming the Word of God
We believe that God’s word is the best and highest that we have to offer people. We also believe that the best way we can be “the pillar and support of truth” is to unfold God’s word in our preaching and teaching in the same way in which it was given by him. For this reason, Crossway Network churches will primarily preach sermons through books of the Bible from beginning to end. At times, local church pastors will take different seasons to address the needs of their church body through topic-based messages but the main focus of delivering God’s word weekly will be expository. In our preaching, we believe the Word of God is for the work of transformation and not simply meant to be information. With this focus in mind, we will always prioritize and strive for clear application and life-change in our communication of God’s word.
