What do we value in our sermons?
What makes a sermon good?
What do we value in a church?
On what grounds to you "pick" a church to attend?
Along the same lines, why do we believe what we believe?
I want to take some responses before I post my own response. So, please leave a response!

David,
Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail! I want to apologize up front that I won't answer in the same level of detail.
Each of my questions were intended to touch on the same issue. My main point that I wanted to get across was to consider what is the fundamental quality that moves us.
Simply stated: what is fundamental to us? Truth or Taste? Is our definition of good sermons and good churches based in how well they represent the eternal truths of God? Or do we call them good because they make us feel good or they inspire us, etc.?
Don't mistake me here; I'm not saying that Truth and Taste are mutually exclusive. I'm just concerned that most people elevate taste over truth without contemplating it. My goal is to put truth first, and then let taste follow.
