I have five questions for you.
Do you want to thrive?
Do you want to thrive in your faith?
Do you want to thrive in your relationships?
Do you want to thrive in your education or career?
Do you want to thrive at everything you do in life?
Don’t miss this.
Environment is everything.
Environments can be good for you or bad for you.
They can be favorable for you or unfavorable for you.
Environments.
Surroundings.
Context.
Habitat.
Neighborhood.
Home.
Room.
Workplace.
School.
Church.
It’s where you live and operate.
Here’s how important environment is.
You can be dead wrong, but in the right place and things work in your favor.
You can be unprepared, unsure, unconventional, or unsophisticated, but in the right place and things work out for you.
Why?
You were in the right place.
Here’s another look at it.
You can be right, but in the wrong place and it be disastrous for you.
Let me say it again.
You’re right.
You’re good.
In the wrong place.
Things can be disastrous for you.
You can be the right person in the wrong relationship.
You can be the right person on the wrong team.
You can be innocent, but in the wrong place and suffer the consequences.
You can be the picture of good health and be in the wrong place, breath bad air and mess your life up.
The health of your environment is everything.
On Wednesday morning, Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was filled with 176 passengers and crew members.
Minutes after takeoff from Tehran’s airport, Flight 752 went radio silent.
It disappeared from radar.
Catch the context.
Hours earlier, Iran fired missiles at Iraqi military bases housing US troops.
They were retaliating the death of Commander Soleimani.
Iran was armed and ready to fire.
They were ready to fight the US or Iraq.
It was a hostile environment.
Put it together.
Flight 752 tried to take off in a hostile environment.
They tried to elevate in a hostile environment.
They tried to fly in a hostile environment.
Anti-aircraft missiles were fired at the plane.
They hit the plane.
It crashed.
Everyone on board died.
Why? It’s hard to fly in a hostile environment.
Fussing and fighting.
Shooting and stabbing.
Lying and looting.
Stealing and killing.
Cheating and conniving.
Unfair and uneven.
Hateful and handicapping.
Poverty-stricken and perverse.
Have you ever been in the wrong environment and no matter what you did, you got shot down?
Your ideas got shot down.
Your dreams got shot down.
Your good intentions got shot down.
Your good works got shot down.
Your business plan got shot down.
It’s hard to thrive in the wrong environment.
I’m tired of the wrong environment.
I want to be in the right place.
I want to be in a thriving place.
I want to be in a blessed place.
I want to be in the best place for me.
At the heart of this parable, Jesus was teaching His disciples a thing or two about the spiritual importance of the right place.
He had just left a crowded house where he healed everyone that was brought to Him.
He healed them because they were in the right place.
The same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
His ministry was exhausting.
They pulled from him, but didn’t pour back into Him.
While sitting by the sea, great crowds gathered around him.
So He got in the boat and sat down.
The crowd crowded the beach.
Jesus started teaching.
He healed people in the house.
He taught people on the beach.
Notice that He’s not in the synagogue.
He’s in the house.
He’s on the beach.
He’s in the boat.
The last time He was in the synagogue, they were hostile towards Him.
In Matthew 12, Jesus was in the synagogue on the Sabbath.
A man came in with a withered hand.
Jesus told the man to “stretch out your hand.”
And the man stretched it out and it was restored, healthy like the other.
Here’s the trouble.
Verse 14.
But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Jesus, how to destroy Him.
