How is it at Your Church?

Do your teachers and pastors use the stories of the Old Testament, the instructions in the Old Testament, the Gospels, or the epistles more often as their texts?

I find that I crave the straightforward admonishments and reminders of the New Testament (Jesus' teachings and the epistles). But our teachers like to feed applications from character studies and stories in the Old (and sometimes New) Testament. In the past I've grown weary of parables. So I'm not saying one is more important than the other. We may need balance. I don't know.

Any ideas? Stories from your churches?

To God be all glory.

I haven't kept statistics but I'd say our church is pretty balanced,which is a good thing.
