Shouldn't this stuff be handled on Wednesday nights with just the saints or maybe even in a new converts class and move on to the MEAT of the WORD?
A list of sermon series that I've been privileged to listen to in person or on line that seem more like meat (to me) and are VERY Biblically based are:
Impossible is Unacceptable
The Spirit Empowered Life
Changing Lives to Change Our World
Successful Relationships
Tested by Fire
It's All About the Journey
Praise on Purpose
Maybe they don't cause the shouting and amening that so many expect, but they are life lessons straight from the Bible that make a difference in my daily life and equip me to reach others.

Actually to be fair to Paul's words about "milk and meat," Paul referred to the preaching of their salvation as milk and to matters concerning Christian Living (mature things) as meat. Ironic isn't it.
And I agree with you about the over-emphasis and obsession with some of these things in our pulpits, particularly the "apostolic" brand and stamp on things that are not absolute, focusing more on particulars than the spirit of the matter.
