I quit reading when I got to the list of liberals the author most obviously follows.
Enjoyed reading. I taught homiletics for 4 years at Pillsbury Baptist College and I would have every young man read that one. The different styles is very informative and lots of material for novice preachers to consider.

Interesting article.
I have gone through many of those styles in terms of presenting a sermon. When I started preaching I wrestled with narrowing down a topic (I expound on the teachings of a single passage but often found myself getting too much in the weeds for a 40 minute sermon). The second method I used was a three point outline as it kept me on track. As time went by I'd switch between topical and focusing on a single passage, but wrestled with application. Lastly I preached as a teacher in a conversational style.
I found I enjoyed teaching more than preaching because it enabled more interaction (although I found teaching much more difficult and involved than preaching).

Too late too read and respond tonight. Thanks for the article and I will digest and comment at a later date.
I doubt anyone here will be surprised that I find expository preaching to be the best method to truly teach your congregation and be the ambassador God calls you to be as a pastor. If you haven't seen Pipers "Look at the Book" teaching series, it's very much worth it.
