This document discusses different types of preaching styles including expository, textual, topical, and narrative preaching. It emphasizes the importance of studying Scripture in order to correctly understand the original author's intended meaning before preaching. Preachers are encouraged to devote themselves to public reading of Scripture, preaching, and teaching. The goal is to clearly communicate the divine author's intended message for today by drawing from a thorough study of God's truth so that one can speak authoritatively and not just say what people want to hear.

studying God’s truth until we
are able to hear clearly in
order to speak
authoritatively.

their own desires, they will
gather around them a great
number of teachers to say
what their itching ears
want to hear.
