ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Expository preaching

Expository preaching is when a person talks about a specific topic in a very detailed and organized way. Think of it like telling a story or teaching a lesson.

Let's say your teacher wants to teach you about dinosaurs. They might start by talking about what dinosaurs are, where they lived, and how they became extinct. They would then explain each type of dinosaur, what they ate, and how they moved.

Expository preaching is similar in that it starts with a specific topic, like a story from the Bible. The preacher then explains what the story means, how it applies to our lives, and how we can learn from it.

So, just like your teacher is trying to teach you about dinosaurs, a preacher is trying to teach you about a topic from the Bible. They do this by giving lots of details, showing examples, and organizing the information in a way that makes sense.

Overall, expository preaching is a way for people to learn about an important topic in a clear and understandable way.
