The project describes essential elements of pastoral expository preaching and demonstrates the utilization of a lay committee in sermon preparation and evaluation. The pastor/researcher describes several expository methods and provides distinctive elements of expository preaching from literature in the field of homiletics. A lay committee assisted in the sermon preparation process by familiarizing themselves with the biblical text, assisting the pastor with the sermon development from the text, listening to the sermon in the congregational context, and evaluating the sermon according to criteria consistent with the essential elements. The lay committee met with the pastor seven times over a six-week process. Project conclusions include increased understanding of the homiletical process and informed listening on the part of the lay committee. The pastor noted a clearer sense of the biblical text by viewing it through lay and pastoral perspectives. Further, the pastor/researcher noted an improvement in preaching through lay evaluation and expressed a desire to continue the practice of involving a lay committee in sermon preparation on a periodic basis.
