Some definitions of expository preaching specify a particular number of consecutive verses for the sermom to be classified as expository. In that sense, some topical sermons which explain a number of (non-consecutive) verses in an expository manner could not technically be called an expository sermon.
On the other hand, if you remove the arbitrary designation of a particular number of consecutive verses, a topical sermon could be handled expositorily. This would be called a "multi-passage" sermon. Each passage would studied within its context, and it would explain the text and would follow other rules for expository preaching.
I'm curious to learn what Sean's author had to say on this topic.
