How to plan a sermon series through a book of the Bible


Alex Montoya


Preaching through books of the Bible, called expository preaching, is a great way to teach Scripture as well as build up the Body of Christ (Acts 20:20, 27; 2 Timothy 3:16-4:4). It also comes with two compelling drawbacks. First, it usually requires a verse by verse exposition of the whole book. This is quite a challenge when it comes to the larger books in Scripture, such as the Major Prophets, the historical books, and even the Gospels and Acts. With it comes the challenge to make the sermons relevant and interesting, not an easy feat to accomplish.
