Expository preaching has three decided advantages for any pastor: First, it takes the congregation through a book of the Bible so that they are able to observe and understand the various covenantal themes contained in it. Second, this type of “series” preaching protects the congregation from the pastor’s “hobby horses.” Therefore, rather than preaching on a number of his favorite topics, he is bound by the text to preach and teach the variety of doctrines found in the Word of God. Moreover, in the history of preaching it has been this expository approach that has proven to be the most spiritually beneficial to God’s covenant communities. Third, this will solve the problem for the younger pastor of choosing a text every week. Being guided by the text and your exegesis, you know what you’re preaching on next week.

INGREDIENTS

1/2	c	Unsalted butter; well softened
1	lg	Egg; well beaten
3	oz	Unsweetened chocolate; broken into 6 pieces
1	tb	Strong coffee
		About 1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted
1/2	c	Heavy cream
1	tb	Vanilla extract
1/2	c	Chocolate threads or grated chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter together with the egg until evenly
blended. In a double boiler over gently simmering water, combine the
chocolate and the coffee and melt, stirring occasionally.
In a large mixing bowl, place about 2 1/2 cups of the confectioners sugar.
Add the butter and egg mixture, the melted chocolate mixture, cream and
vanilla. Stir well and, if necessary, add more sugar to make the mixture
into a paste stiff enough to handle. Roll the paste quickly into little
balls, using about 2 heaping teaspoons for each one. Roll the balls in the
chocolate threads. Chill until firm, on a tray lined with parchment paper
in the refrigerator. If desired, layer the balls with parchment in an
airtight cookie tin and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
