This project presents a model of leading a local church in the '40 days of purpose' by preaching expository sermons followed by a discussion on these sermons during the Adult Bible Fellowship. The '40 days of purpose' is a church-based campaign that was created at the Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, California, where Rick Warren is the senior pastor, and is designed to address five elements of church health: evangelism, worship, fellowship, discipleship and service. This project will review Saddleback's understanding of these areas of church health as well as the way they are presented in the '40 days of purpose' and present an alternative understanding and presentation, as well as the addition of prayer as a key element of church health. As specifically stated in the title, this project contends for the centrality of expository preaching and as such, it presents both the philosophical foundation and the homiletical process of expository preaching. Specific illustrations are given on how to preach expository sermons from New Testament Epistles and Old Testament narrative, with suggestions on how to make exposition relevant to congregations of the twenty-first century. There is also a detailed proposal on how a church might follow the sermon with discussion based on time-tested educational theory.
