The majority of the preaching here at Restoration Church is done by taking a book of the Bible and working through it verse by verse, chapter by chapter.  We  want to faithfully explain what the Bible says, and then see how it applies to our lives.  So instead of approaching the sermon with a preconceived agenda, we allow the text to drive what we are going to say.

That leads to a natural question…why do you preach like that? In short, here is our answer:

The biblical and theological foundations, alongside the host of practical benefits, underpin the necessity of expository preaching.  Neglecting the centrality of the Word in preaching is a neglect of God Himself.  Preachers speak only because God has spoken.  A preacher who uses Scripture as a topical index or springboard minimizes the authority of Scripture and leads his congregation to do the same. Likewise, pastors who elevate the Scriptures week after week, sermon after sermon, lead their people to rely on the authority of the Scriptures in their own lives day after day.  The preacher that faithfully heralds God’s Word week after week feeds his flock the only true life sustaining food available.
