As our Lord said to the tempter: &#8216;Men does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God&#8217; (Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4)&#8230;Non-Christians, too, though, need God&#8217;s Word. Those who do not yet believe the gospel need to be told of their hopelessness apart from Christ. They need to have God&#8217;s Word presented to them; they need God&#8217;s Spirit to convict them of their own sin and desperation. Being so liable to God&#8217;s judgment, they need to hear of God&#8217;s grace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All this can happen through expositional preaching. Through such biblically faithful sermons, non-Christians can have Satan&#8217;s lies exposed, God&#8217;s truth revealed, their own hearts searched and Christ&#8217;s grace magnified to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style='clear:both'><\/div>\n<div class='the_champ_sharing_container the_champ_horizontal_sharing' data-super-socializer-href=\"https:\/\/www.preaching.com\/articles\/can-evangelistic-preaching-be-expository\/\">\n<div class='the_champ_sharing_title' style=\"font-weight:bold\">Share This On:<\/div>\n<div class=\"the_champ_sharing_ul\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style='clear:both'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the book&nbsp;Give Praise to God: A Vision for Reforming Worship (P&amp;R Publishing), Mark Dever writes, &#8220;Expositional preaching is all about giving God&#8217;s people God&#8217;s Word.
