Dislike elementary sermons?

I've been in a situation where God has asked me to preach a very simple message to the church I was visiting -- the topic was "Vision". It wasn't highly revelational or trendy or 'new'. It wasn't something on my heart or something I would choose. But I went with it anyway. 

When we enter a church and realize that the preacher is not preaching a highly revelational topic or new to us, or that we didn't learn anything from it, don't judge the preacher. Sometimes, elementary preaching is not caused by the preacher but the congregation.

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.

So elementary preaching is permissable but rare.
