NewMy son's experience
My 20 year old son tells me it has been hard for him to find a “younger” church that preaches expositional sermons through books of the Bible. Instead, most of the “younger” churches he has visited preach topically or only preach a surface-level understanding of a passage.
For him, it’s not an issue of sermon length but of sermon depth.
