Many Christians assume that if a sermon is biblically sound, it must be expository, but is that always true? In this conversation with my husband, Adam Pivec, we look beyond the label to explore what genuine "expository preaching" is. And we provide a checklist of things to listen for during your next Sunday sermon to know if your pastor is exegeting the text.
This episode examines subtle, but crucial issues:
• Why “using the Bible” doesn't guarantee that a sermon communicates the biblical author's intent
• How some sermons begin in the text but drift into opinion or agenda
• The role of the pastor as a messenger, not an originator of truth
• Why faithful preaching often corrects our expectations rather than confirming them
Ultimately, this discussion reminds us that true expository teaching does more than reference Scripture, it submits to it. When the Word leads, the church is not shaped exclusively by the imagination or creativity of the preacher but by the voice of God Himself.
