Basically expositional preaching should be the preacher expounding on their text.

Would that not make preaching merely 1) reading the Scripture and then 2) exegesis? Where in this does application fit?
Andrew,
Your definitions were about what I had in my head. So if you are wrong, we are wrong together.

well I don't want to derail Boliver's thread, but your question assumes the preacher is to add his own application to the sermon. I don't know that I neccessarily think this fits into preaching.

I'm not sure if we are talking past each other. But once the message of the text has been established, then preacher should apply that message to the contemporary lives of his listeners. Stopping after reading the text and exegeting it leaves out the application. To bring this back to the teacher/preacher OP, a teacher might have finished his job after exegesis, but the preacher must take it one step farther and apply it to people's lives, and sometimes that requires the preacher to be creative.
