This tutorial is designed to help Christians learn how to expound the Word of God during their private devotions. Too many believers rely upon other literature to give them a knowledge of the Scriptures, rather than acquiring that knowledge first hand through a personal investigation of the Scriptures. Once the ‘art’ of Bible exposition is acquired, extra-biblical literature will no longer be required as the primary resource.
A demonstration of Bible exposition is applied to Luke 9:57-62.
An exposition of Luke 14:26-35.
The ramifications of the Christian life stretch to the roots of every connection he has formed with the world around him. Now that Christ is King, everything must yield to His Lordship. There are three connections with the world that are most important to the individual: (1) Who we know; (2) What we own; (3) What we want. Our Lord touches on each of these worldly attachments showing how the believer must yield it all to Him.
The following structure is an overview of the exposition:
Luke 14:26-35
An exposition of Luke 1:39-56.
This is the first study on the character and content of a Christian testimony. Elisabeth and Mary were confronted with peculiar challenges, yet their trials had much in common: Both homes were visited by an angel, both women conceived a child in a miraculous manner and both mothers would be responsible for raising children who would bring salvation to sinners – John would prepare the way for Jesus, and Jesus would Himself redeem His people from sin. Therefore, we are not surprised to find these ladies sharing personal testimonies on what God was accomplishing through their lives. In this study, we seek to uncover the framework of a Christian testimony by answering this question: What are the contributing characteristics which form a God-honouring testimony?
An exposition of Luke 1:39-56.
This is the second study on the character and content of a Christian testimony. Elisabeth and Mary provide a couple of helpful guides on the type of content that should be incorporated into every God-honouring testimony. This study examines the content of each report, and happy is the Christian who comes closest to these blueprints.
An exposition of Luke 1:1-2:52.
Luke records the nativity of Jesus Christ with reference to more than 20 groups of characters: Zacharias, Elisabeth, Angel Gabriel, John, Holy Ghost, Joseph, Mary, Jesus, Group of Angels, Shepherds, Simeon, Prophetess Anna, religious rulers, Herod, Caesar Augustus, Cyrenius, Worshippers at the Temple, Elisabeth’s friends and family, Mary’s friends and family, Anna’s father (Phanuel), Anna’s husband, Elijah, David, and Abraham. However, the two chapters hinge on three pivotal characters, John, Jesus and Mary. This study examines how John and Mary share a common mission of making preparation for Jesus’ earthly ministry.
