His point about "get the point across in 30 minutes" is totally insignificant to an expository preacher.

If one is preaching a bible passage, the text itself is the point. The beautiful thing, I think, about expository preaching/teaching is that the congregation is able to follow right along in their bibles.

I've yet to figure out exactly what 'expository preaching' is, despite the fact that I've been told that the C&MA church I went to for a while, and the UMC church I go to presently have expository preachers. Is there some leeway with the term, or is it reading a passage and then offering comments on it, then repeating the process?
