I suggest, every Sunday some elder here will post his sermon.
Accompanying with three youtube worship videos.

I really don't know he definitely wasn't "contemporvant").
Thinking further on the analogy though. When one invests, they care little for whether the thing they invest in has real substance -- so long as their investment increases that is what matters. So then, one should ask themselves, what "substance" they get from such. That goes for any church one attends or church-like group.

Sometimes the 'substance' they get is just 'feeling good' -- an emotional high. It's not long-lasting.
I didn't listen to much of the music video cause I don't care for that kind of music.
