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 ....
.... 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.

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.

If the people of God would spend time in the Word for themselves it might not happen as often.
