Very few pastors have the abilities of a Lloyd-Jones or a John Macarthur to preach consecutively through books over many years. BTW, Lloyd Jones preached his most famous consecutive series on Friday evenings.

We have been in the same Gospel on Sunday morning for 4 years and are only in chapter 6. Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings are program teaching and not preaching. There is no end in site and I feel like I am being served a spiritually unbalanced diet, but at the same time know I am supposed to be faithful to my church. Internet sermons aren’t enough, even if they are from “the best” (MacArthur, Sproul, etc). Please pastors, I beg you to make sure that your congregation has a healthy balanced diet of Scripture.

Thanks!

I’ve got to believe that at some point, you’ve really stopped preaching the passage.

King, I happen to agree with you about the strengths of the consecutive expository method. But the post is also about potential weaknesses.

Not all boring preaching can be pinned on the un-spirituality of the listeners. I love the Bible and have had preachers make it sound dull and lifeless. As a preacher, I’m quite sure I’ve also been guilty of that a time or three.

I think it’s a shameful thing to misrepresent the Bible in our preaching so that we make serious study seem tedious. But to act as if that’s not possible just because we’re careful to be expository is a bit unrealistic. If you disagree, I praise God for the amazing preachers that you have been uniformly exposed to. May their tribe increase!
