Proponent of Expository Preaching

He has written on the topic of preaching, including the introduction to the 2010 publication Text-Driven Preaching: God’s Word at the Heart of Every Sermon. As a seminary president, he is known for preaching expository sermon series during spring chapel meetings. He also speaks regularly at Southwestern Seminary’s annual Expository Preaching Workshop.

Famous quotes containing the word preaching:
“Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
