Expository or Topical Preaching?

[Marooncat79]

Dr. Martyn Loyd-Jones is well-known for his long verse-by-verse expositions on Romans and Ephesians, but his series on 'Spiritual Depression' is rightly famous. Get the book if you can. It will bless your hearts.

Thanks

Does anyone have recommendations for expositional preaching that can be found online - strong, theologically in-depth, conservative Baptist expositional sermons?

Exposition, topical, word study, and book study are all useful approaches to increasing our knowledge of the word and all can be misused as well.

I personally prefer expository preaching over topical preaching, and here's why:

In general, expository preaching goes book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, ensuring that the whole counsel of God is being proclaimed. Topical preaching, on the other hand, might give some pastors the freedom to avoid some controversial passages, or perhaps entire books, that might be seen as too problematic for our secular and politically correct world.

I'll also add that it's possible to include topical material in the expository method, giving you the best of both.
