Many modern Christians are bored with teaching. Give us some fancy preacher who has a lot of fancy catch phrases and can move the crowd on an ebb & tide of emotion. Pump us up with some really hip music that we can juke and jive to.
You have really hit on a true statement about some of the leanings that we possess in our modern society.

You've stepped on a few toes. Thank God for that. The "emotional fix" has become the drug of choice to many pentecostals. A church service can seem like a three ring circus.
No one ever did this while Jesus was teaching; no one. The still small voice is being blown out by our mega sound systems, and people who can't hear anymore. Something's wrong with this picture.
