Expository Preaching Through the Book of 1 Corinthians as a Means of Formative Church Discipline at Lebanon Baptist Church, Talbott, Tennessee

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to utilize expository preaching through the book of 1 Corinthians as a means of formative church discipline at Lebanon Baptist Church in Talbott, Tennessee. Chapter 1 introduces Lebanon Baptist Church and the surrounding community. Chapter 2 establishes a biblical and theological basis for the project. The five biblical passages cited in the chapter provide an argument for why expository preaching is foundational to formative church discipline. Chapter 3 addresses the subject of application in expository preaching. Various models and methods are considered in the hope that they will help the preacher become a better applier of biblical truth. Chapter 4 explains the process undertaken in implementing the project. Chapter 5 analyzes and evaluates the results of the project.
