Preaching is the most important element in the protestant churches. Charles Spurgeon was England's best-known and most-loved preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. There are different styles or types of preaching. The most important styles are:
Themes
- Topical preaching - concerned with a particular subject of current concern;
- Exhortatory preaching - concerned with changing or affirming the behaviour of the congregation in a particular way;
- Biographical preaching - tracing the story of a particular biblical character through a number of parts of the bible;
- Evangelistic preaching - seeking to convert the congregation or bring them back to their previous faith;
- Charismatic preaching - seeking to inspire the congregation to an immediate spiritual experience;
- Expository preaching - preaching from a text and seeking to expound the text to the congregation;
Delivery methods
- Scripted preaching - preaching with a previous preparation, it can be with help of notes or a script, or rely on the Memory of the preacher.
- Extemporaneous preaching - preaching without notes and sometimes without preparation.
- Impromptu preaching - preaching without previous preparation.
