Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to Grant Osborne for his preaching and teaching. It presents commentaries and preaching not new to Osborne. Some preachers insist on having forty minutes for their sermons. Commentaries are categorized as expositional, exegetical, and sermonic. The commentaries described here fit into the first category and have some value in helping a preacher think through grammatical relationships and types of clauses. The purpose of a sermon is surely to achieve such goals as worship, faith, hope, love, obedience, spiritual growth, and good works. Beyond that there is another goal that ought to be considered. That is to provide an example for personal Bible study. Preachers consult commentaries to find stimulating material for sermons and to clarify the meaning of difficult texts. The chapter talks about the misuse of commentaries. A commentary can help the preacher close the gaps between biblical times and today. Keywords:biblical text; exegetical commentaries; Grant Osborne; preaching; sermons
