Expositional Preaching - Shai Linne
With our raps we adore our Master and Lord Jesus Christ, who deserves all our claps and applause for the wrath that He bore on the cross for our blasphemous thoughts and the classless acts of a whore He gave up His life with a passionate roar Was raised up to heights where He sat at before After this all, He gave pastors the call to ministry found in Second Timothy chapter 4 one and two- what I first wanna do is come to you, the church, to reverse a funny view So let me ask a question: what's most essential? What is it that gives a local church its credentials? Some would say music, some would say deacons Others say reaching the lost and soul seeking But if we wanna give God the glory in our meetings The most important thing is expository preaching Where are the Whitfields? Where are the Spurgeons? (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) We need sound theology to deal with reality (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) We got enough rappers, we need more pastors (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) We need explanation and deep application (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!)
(For the congregation)
Let me explain what I mean, it's not too complex It's preaching God's Word in its proper context As you listen, be discerning- what you have to determine: Was the point of the passage the point of the sermon? If not, this problem must be confronted today because he just used the Bible to say what he wanted to say And even if it's delivered with fire and intelligence That's basically making what God has inspired irrelevant Instead of applying the Word's realities A lot of pastors (are) relying on personality But gifts of communication can never be a true replacement for the Holy Spirit's illumination Without exposition, you'll lack major profit All you'll get is tradition and your pastor's favorite topics And that could be a slippery slope, the Word should be giving you hope This dude is just giving you jokes That won't help you love Christ, it won't help your obedience Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We need more expositors, not more comedians But shepherds who labor in the text, then faithfully connect you to the Savior, then wait for its effects God gives the increase- holiness, love, unity The Word faithfully preached builds up the whole community If not, your Sunday meal will not last And you'll have to supplement it with a podcast Don't entertain us, that won't sustain us (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) Careful instruction, not a big production (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) We need less theatrics and man-centered tactics (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) We're on the brink of eternity, please speak earnestly (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!)
(For the pastors)
Y'all should be mindful of this devout thesis All of the Bible is about Jesus The Old Testament- Jesus Christ concealed The New Testament- Jesus Christ revealed This truth of the Lord- Christ boldly proclaimed this In Luke 24 on the road to Emmaus The law, the prophets and the teachings of Apostles All of these point back to Jesus and the gospel So if the work of Christ is what the Word is about Ultimately, it should be what the sermon's about Forget applause, you've got to let the cross rock ya All roads in the Bible lead to Golgotha Whatever the text, faithfulness demands That we should hear the echoes of nails hitting His hands Don't try to be original- say the old story And watch your people changed as they behold glory The glory of Jesus- we need to see this (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) Make Christ the center so new life can enter (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) Give us the whole counsel along with the gospel (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!) This is your duty: Show us God's beauty (Preach the Word!) (Preach the Word!)
