Re: Milk or Meat Sermons?
I think we need both- "milk" and "meat" sermons. The trick is knowing the difference between the two.
Milk promotes growth. Any sermon that promotes spiritual growth and leads to maturity is a "milk" sermon. We sometimes make the unfortunate mistake in thinking of "milk" sermons as a little less important than "meat" sermons. However, they are every bit as important, they just serve a different purpose and need in the Body of Christ.
Meat is a source of protein- strength and energy. "Meaty" sermons give us the strength and endurance to face lifes everday challenges. A minister, who has spiritual insight and his finger on the congregations pulse, will know who needs what and when they need it.
All to often, the minister preaches/teaches what he knows, rather than digging into the Word to find exactly what his congregation needs.
Just my thoughts, but... what do ya expect from a heating and air guy!
