How Would You Describe "MEAT" Preaching?
 

Read several post lately and folks talk about "real meat" preaching/teaching, so how would you describe "meat" preaching/teaching?

Seriously - cause I know you meant this serious, but I couldn't resist :D ....

.... Anyway - real "meat" preaching is kind of hard to define, I guess. But it definitely isn't full of misguided promises about wealth, riches, financial security, blessings, etc.

I find teaching/preaching that teaches about heart issues - essentially how to truly love your neighbor, etc... and teaching that reaches into both the OT and NT to bring forth a point to be teaching that speaks to me.

Preaching straight from the Word and backing up every statement with scripture.

So many times, preachers open with a scripture and talk for an hour without returning to the Word. I don't think that's "meaty" preaching.

I don't think we have a better example of teaching than Christ. His messages were simple and easy for people to understand. So many times we associate "good" preaching with deep and somewhat confusing messages.

Amen, especially the bolded.

So, "meaty" is a message with lots of scriptures? Amen about Jesus being the preacher's example.

Preaching/teaching that forces me back into my word to study the things that have been taught. I like preaching that makes me think.

Amen on preaching that makes one THINK. Some places should have a sign at the front door... Check Your Brain Here Before Entering. :heeheehee

Many years ago, I heard a pastor teach an hour on the Tabernacle every Wednesday night for MONTHS. Still remember some of the points that he made and at least one myth that he debunked.
