The primary duty of expository preaching is to exhort his listeners to apply the truths revealed in scripture.
Until someone can apply truth, his understanding is still incomplete. Reflect on how Ezra preach in Nehemiah 8:5-8. What was the response of the people?
And what is expository preaching? I quote Bryan Chapell's 'PEE' acronym,
a. Present the Word
b. Explain it,
c. Exhort the listener to act on it.
Listeners usually pay closer attention to a sermon where explanation and exhortation to application occur regularly and frequently.
