A good question.

He'll be dead before he gets to it.
When will the flock get any of the rest of the Bible?
Aren't we called to teach the whole counsel of God?
Acts 20:27
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Some clarification, if it’s available please.
How many times a week did he preach a sermon?
How many sermons a week were from Ezekiel?
Did he ever use any other Scripture or did he exclusively use Ezekiel?
I’ve spent more than a year on one book (which is not long to spend). We didn’t get really deep in about a years time.
How many times have you heard your a particular passage preached?
More than one on the ten lepers?
More than one on communion?
More than one on Luke 2?
More than one on David and Goliath?
At some point, the same thing can be said of the topical preacher.
How many topics are there?
And the topical preacher never repeats?
I’m not on one side or the other. Both are scriptural and both are necessary.

"Expositional" is about how you approach the Scripture.
You can spend 100 years belaboring one verse in Romans and pretend that you are an in depth "expository" preacher and brag that it will take you 800 years to get through your study of Obadiah....
If that is the case:
You are crap.
Either you read Scripture and construct your sermon based upon the text itself and let it take priority; or you read the Scripture and preach how it supports the Confession you already believe and import your Confession into it and belabor it in every verse of the text you are supposedly preaching on.
