This should be the hope and desire of every preacher, that after preaching their message, many would come up afterwards and talk with him, that there would be further discussion about what the things spoken of mean for the individual. That shows true interest on the part of the listener, a desire to meditate and discuss the implications of the message. There is nothing wrong with the lecture format of preaching, but our churches have been conditioned to leave immediately afterward, or just to make small talk rather than ask questions of understanding from the preacher.
