Expository sermons focus on a single passage of Scripture, unpacking its meaning verse by verse.

The aim is to faithfully explain and apply the biblical text.

A textual sermon hones in on a particular verse or small section of Scripture. The preacher builds the message around the themes or lessons drawn from the text, offering practical applications. Textual sermons are ideal for focusing on specific teachings or moments in Scripture.

Example: Preaching on Philippians 4:13 (“I can do all things through Christ”) and exploring its deeper context and application.
