This course puts emphasis on the step-by-step process for building expository sermons. It includes a brief description of basic types of sermons, the steps in working through a Scripture passage for exposition, steps in building expository sermons, the use of various types of sermon patterns, the use of context for proper exposition, and the help of a preaching plan in expository preaching.
