Christ-centered preaching

---

"Christ-Centered Preaching" seeks to restore the preaching of the church to a model Dr. Chapell believes is what is most needed for the church. Dr. Chapell’s thesis is that he seeks to hold forth a model of preaching that proclaims the authority of the Word of God, which exposes the fallen condition of man while at the same the redemption that is found in Christ, emphasizing that all of Scripture points to Christ as the solution to the problems we face. In this way he seeks to correct preaching that is either a form of moralism or a dry recitation of theology. He argues, “The answer lies in learning to see all of God’s Word as a unified message of human need and divine provision (Luke 24:27; Rom. 15:4)” (20). He discusses the process of developing a Christ-Centered Sermon in three parts: Principles of Expository Preaching, dealing with practical matters of preaching as well as the nobility of preaching; Preparing the Expository Sermon, dealing with the necessary steps for faithful exposition; and A Theology of Christ-Centered Messages, highlighting the need to focus on the redemptive purpose of preaching.
