The man said he lived in the suburbs because the neighborhood was safe, had good schools, was clean, had easy access to shopping, and was good stewardship because the value of his house kept increasing. I want to suggest this morning that location does matter in the preaching of the gospel. It is not neutral. Where you live and worship determine how you view God and the world. If you have ever gone to buy a house you know that location is not neutral.
Location is everything.
In buying a house, location is about the only thing that really matters. Real estate agents will tell you that the main priority in buying a house is location, location, location . It seems that for God location also matters. Now the New Testament doesn t say we should live or worship in a certain place. But location does seem to matter.
