Which method does your pastor use to teach? The church I came from taught expository and now I attend a church that teaches topical. I must say I prefer expository teaching, but I would love to hear from you all.

Topical teaching: Taking a topic from the bible and teaching from it. Usually random selections.

Expository teaching: Choosing a book of the bible and teaching it verse by verse.
A lot of people think this keeps you in one book of the bible to long. Because the bible is harmonized, this method takes you all over the bible. Old testament and new testament. When I was being taught expositional, I was all over the bible every Sunday. Now that I'm being taught topically, I tend to see one verse and a couple of other locations in the bible. My spiritual growth has seemed to slow down quite a bit. I'm not sure I can necessarily tie the two together, but it sure seems that way. Anyway, I would love to hear what you guys think. Please don't think I'm putting down topical teaching. My comments are more on the lines of one being better than the other.

you know at my church it really goes both ways, on sunday mornings it tends to be topical, then on sunday nights it tends to be expository.
Also we have a prayer meeting wed. in which he again gives an expository sermon to sum up the night, we are currently studying the book of Job on wed. night and it is great. I guess we get the best of both world at my church

We tend to go down the expository line, at the moment we are working through Hebrews. The same passage is read and preached on Sunday mornings and evenings and read, studied and discussed in mid-week small groups. So the whole church is looking at the same verses at the same time.

We occasionally do have topical services, but these tend to be occasion based (Christmas, Easter, Pentecost etc).
