Reasons to Preach In your Home Town

Hello Friends, I just thought that I would briefly share with you the importance of preaching where we live.
1. We become a visible lighthouse to the community for the gospel.
Even in a small town ( and yes, we ought to preach even in a small town) there will be dozens or hundreds that will see or hear some form of the gospel, if you are preaching and using signs or banners. Even those that do not like the preaching inevitably will get at least a scripture or two.
2. We are able to warn those in the community about sin, judgment, hell etc. This is vitally important as we increase in wickedness in our day. There are many today that have no clue about God's judgment or what is sin in His eyes. The majority think God is okay with fornication, homosexuality etc and it is the responsibility of the Christian to expose these errors (Eph. 5:11). We should warn and preach about these things because A) They are true b) We are commanded to in the scriptures and C) We care about others. Regarding the last point, we truly do not care about others if we are not warning them of these things.
3. Regular preaching in our hometown will set a STANDARD in the land. How much this is needed today brethren! There is no standard today as "anything goes" and God's opinion is not voiced by many of the saved even! It is important to preach at events, but important also to preach where we live. If only every city and town in America would have a street preaching ministry! Brethren, let us do our part to proclaim the gospel and to warn the wicked!
