Religion / biography of a pastor | | English term or phrase: tied in sequence to | | At the same time XXX’s ministry has shown that the consecutive method of preaching through a passage is not the only way to be faithful in preaching. And he notes that sometimes what is called ‘exposition’ is deserving of criticism: ‘The thing that kills people in what is sometimes called expository preaching is randomly meandering through a passage.’ A mere running commentary on a passage is not preaching. If a sermon is going to be in a real sense a message it should have a clear theme, a unity of thought. As XXX books show, while all his sermons are text-based, they are by no means all ***tied in sequence to** one book or passage. He has used a wise variation. |

| | presented in the exact order in which the text occurs in (any one book..) | Explanation:
The relevant phrase could be rewritten as follows:
while all his sermons are text-based, the sermons are not always presented in the exact order in which the text occurs in any particular book or passage.
Or to put it another way, tied in sequence to, in this context, could be simply restated as: follow the same sequence as.

Explanation:
He is not doing this, while his sermon is based on the book or passage, it is consistently developing its own theme and using excerpts to fit it, not in the order in which they occur in the original.
