Also, I liked the discussions with my group of students when I visited a theological seminary. And I found these discussions were most fruitful when they came off naturally, not when they were scheduled and mandatory, like in the Sunday service or weekly Bible groups.

For example “But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.” Actual preaching (like lecture) is not so often in Bible especially if we tell about meetings of Christians.
So discussion should be the basis of Christian meetings, not just making lecture (that of course lecture may be possible if not taken as basis).
