What is to take priority in the local church?  Paul in 1 Tim. 4:13  states, “Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation  and to teaching.”  Paul says the Word is to be priority. The Church through reading, preaching, and teaching maintains this priority.  Jesus Christ, as the head of the church, governs His church through the exposition of scripture. Grace is unashamedly committed to expository preaching.
