#6020 How Sermon Style Shapes Church Growth and Discipleship

Send us a Text Message - include your name! In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast , Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy reflect on the difference between topical preaching and exegetical preaching, and on the ways churches tend to use each. They consider why people often assume one approach is superior to the other, while drawing on their own experience both of sitting under these styles of preaching and of using them in the work of ministry. Along the way, they suggest that when either approach is relied on too heavily, the church can lose something vital. Over time, an imbalance in preaching does not simply shape sermons; it also shapes the kind of disciples a church is forming.
