The Simeon Trust Conferences

The purpose of the workshop is to increase the pastor’s confidence and ability in rightly handling God’s Word. We also want them to leave convinced that God’s Word is powerful and anxious to preach it to their people. A successful Workshop on Biblical Exposition has three essential components:
Principles–clear, simple instructions on interpreting and explaining the message of the Bible in an accurate and accessible way.
Practice–hands-on groups made up of 6-10 participants who have prepared sermon outlines for assigned texts and are able to interact with the other men and an instructor to improve their skills.
Preaching–a gifted local pastor who models how exposition can be done well by giving one of his own expository sermons. To learn about the conference, click on the link: The Simeon Trust.
The Principles of Exposition: One of three essential components of a Workshop on Biblical Exposition is what we call the Principles of Exposition, or preaching instructions. During this portion of a workshop, we will teach a handful of lessons on how to interpret and explain the message of the Scriptures in an accurate and accessible way. This page is really meant as a reference to those who have participated in a workshop before and as an introduction to those who are about to participate in a workshop. The following five instructions are brief examples of what a workshop might cover in the Principles of Exposition portion. Here is the PDF to explain the five principles.
