Who Have You Given Up On? | Get In The Fight | Week 3

I wish I was that good looking at that age, amen? Come on, come on. Hey, those of you joining us across all of our campus today, I just wanna say thank you for choosing to worship with us this weekend. Before I jump into the message, I wanna begin by giving a shout out, and actually we're gonna pray in a moment for all of our educators from preschool to homeschool to grad school. Those of you who are fighting for the next generation five days a week in the classroom, we as a church are so grateful for all the teachers, all the administrators who call Flatirons home, and we wanna pray over you that this school year, that God would strengthen you, that he'd hold you, and that he'd give you everything you need to be salt and light to this next generation academically and spiritually. So if you're an educator or an administrator, from preschool to homeschool to the grad school, across all of our campuses, would you stand to your feet if you're an educator? Come on, go ahead, get up, get up, we love y'all. Come on, let's hear it for them, church. Come on. Yeah, stay standing. Hey, if one of those folks is near you, would you just stretch out a hand towards them? Let's pray for them collectively as a church.

Lord Jesus, we are so grateful for these men and women who are sacrificing their time, their education, their intellect, Lord God, to serve this next generation in the classroom. We pray that this year would be their best year, Lord Jesus, and that you would carry them through every up and every down. We love you, we thank you in Christ's name. All God's people said, amen. Yeah, let's hear it one more time for the teachers. Love you guys. All right, so recently, the Dallas Mavericks were searching for a very specific Cooper flag rookie card. Not one of 100, not one of 10, but one of one. It's a Topps debut patch autograph card containing a patch from Flag's first NBA game. And the Mavericks wanted this so badly that they offered whoever found it an unbelievable package. It included two lower level premium tickets for the next 32 years. A signed game worn jersey of Flag's, a photo after the game with Flag, a road trip package when the Mavericks play Boston, which they're gonna lose, a trophy opportunity, and the works, all for one card. Why? Because it's one of one. See, there's not another one. And when something is truly one of one, you will go to extraordinary lengths to get it.

So the question I wanna wrestle with this morning is, what is one of one worth? See, I don't think we actually have to guess too long of what one of one is worth to God. We look at maybe arguably the most famous scripture in all the Bible, John 3, 16, that reads, for God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. See, we usually emphasize God so loved the world. All of us. And we should. But today, I want you to hear this word, whoever. Anyone, any one. Your neighbor, your coworker, your kid, your friend, the person who wants nothing to do with church, the person you've stopped believing could ever come to Jesus. How much is one of one worth to God? The cross is God's answer to the value of the one. And if one is worth that much to Jesus, one is worth that much to me. What is one of one worth to you? In Acts 8, the writer Luke gives an account of a man by the name of Philip. Philip finds himself in this extraordinary position where all things are going right in his ministry. And then God calls him and says, Philip, I want you to go fight for one. If you've got a Bible, open up to Acts 8.

Read with me, Acts 8, verse five and six. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed them the Christ. And the crowd, with one accord, paid attention to what was being said by Philip. Philip's in Samaria, and this is significant. See, there's a deep religious and ethnic hostility between the Jews and Samaritans, yet suddenly God is moving. Crowds are listening, people are responding, lives are being changed, there's joy throughout the city. Imagine in our context, this would be like Boulder suddenly becoming the center, the epicenter of all Christian movements in Colorado. This is the kind of unexpected spiritual movement that is happening. And Philip is right in the middle of it. Who is Philip? Philip is not one of the twelve disciples or apostles. We first meet Philip in Acts 6 as one of the seven chosen to oversee the distribution of food to neglected widows. See, Philip already has this thing in him, this demonstrating a willingness to serve people who could be easily overlooked. And then in Acts 8, Philip's preaching. Crowds are responding, true revival is breaking out. And right in the middle of it, God essentially says to Philip, Philip, leave. Why? Because one is worth your obedience. Verse 28 says, God takes Philip from a crowd to a lonesome road. From obvious ministry success to apparently nothing. There were different routes from Jerusalem to Gaza. And this is the lonesome road. Philip's being sent towards this desert road. Think rural Colorado, like out in the boonies. Nothing happening, no one around. And Philip doesn't know what's waiting for him. But I love how Luke describes it. Luke says, And he rose and went.

No argument. No explanation required. No, why would I leave this great work, God? Philip simply obeys. Friends, open your eyes, I want you to get this. How many times has God put someone on your mind and you've dismissed it? Send him a text. I'll do it later. Invite him. Ah, they're probably gonna say no. Really ask them how they're doing. I don't want it to get awkward. Pray for him. Carl, now you've gone too far. Walk across the room. Somebody else will. See, sometimes we're waiting for God to show us the entirety of his plan. And God is just asking you, would you take the next step? You want to know what might be on the other side of your obedient step? Someone's salvation. Not because you saved them, but because Jesus is already pursuing them. And you have an opportunity to help point them towards him. See, we need to remember that there are people all around us. In our homes, in our workplace, in our neighborhoods, in our communities. Who do not yet have a relationship, a saving relationship, with Jesus. But God is already fighting for your one. In verse 27 it says, There was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. Who was in charge of all of her treasures. And the spirit said to Philip, go over and join his chariot.

Philip arrives and encounters this Ethiopian eunuch. What's a eunuch? See, in the ancient world, powerful royals and their officials, especially those who were serving in the royal household, were sometimes castrated. They were castrated so there would be no presumption with them and the queen. So Luke might be talking about that. However, the Greek word here could be used more broadly for high-ranking court official. So we can't completely with certainty know if this was actually a physical castration. But either way, this guy isn't insignificant. He's a high-ranking official. He's responsible for the queen's treasury. He's educated. He's wealthy. He's influential. A modern-day celebrity. And Philip could have looked at him and said, that's not my guy. Too different. Too important. Too far removed from my circle. Isn't that what we do? They're too skeptical. They're too successful, they're too hostile towards Christianity, they're too political. They're too messed up, they already have said no, they'll never come to church. See, but Philip doesn't know something yet. The same thing that many of us miss. God got there first. See, the eunuch had been in Jerusalem to worship.

He had acquired a scroll of Isaiah, something that would have required significant resources. He was reading it, he was asking questions, he was searching. Philip didn't come, excuse me, Philip didn't cause any of that. God was working on the one before Philip ever met the one. Catch this, God is working on your one right now. And here's what I need you to understand. All we've gotta do is go, talk to them, invite them, pray for them, trusting and knowing that God is already doing stuff in their life that we have no idea about. They're having conversations that we weren't there for. They're asking questions in the quietness of their heart that we can't hear. There are things happening in their life, in their families, in their marriages. And God got there before you and I did. God got there before Philip. Friends, listen, you're not starting a conversation. You are simply joining the conversation that God has been having with them. Never confuse what you can see with everything God is doing. Never confuse what you can see with everything God is doing. So we have to stop doing something as follows of Jesus Christ.

We have got to stop inspecting the soil. We've got to stop inspecting the soil. This is where the parable that Jesus told in Matthew 13 connects to what's happening here in Acts 8. See, we spend an enormous amount of time deciding whether somebody is receptive to the gospel before we ever talk to them. In Jesus' parable about the sower, Jesus says that there are different kinds of soil. There are different kinds of hearts to receive God's word. There are hard, rocky, thorny, and good. But what happens to us is we become inspectors instead of seed scatterers. We look at somebody and we decide, nah, they're not ready. Really? How do you know? Well, that's thorny soil, Carl. They'll never come to church. How do you know? Carl, you don't know this guy. Trust me, it's not happening. Maybe. Or maybe God's been doing something in him for the last six months that's not absolutely obvious to you. See, your job, my job isn't to inspect the soil. Your job, my job is to scatter the seed and let God handle the soil. Look me in the eyes, I want you to get this. So often, so often,

there are schisms in families, in relationships, because we're judging the soil. Your son, your daughter, your father, your aunt voted for somebody two years ago, and because of that, you won't invite them to church. Because of that, you won't even visit their home. Tell me where that is in the gospel. We're called to obey, we're called to go, we're called to make disciples, and this is what Philip is doing. Look in verse 29. And the spirit said to Philip, friends, do you get that? I'm in a big Holy Spirit season right now. One of our elders gave me a book, and I can't put it down. The spirit said to Philip, do you understand this? There is a spirit in all believers. This is the glue of the kingdom of God, binding us together, giving us connection to Christ, the creator, God, the father, the Holy Spirit, the third part of the trinity of God. The spirit is speaking to Philip. God is speaking in Philip's head, in his heart. Go over and join the chariot. So Philip ran to him. I love it. Philip ran. Praise Jesus, he didn't ask me to run anywhere, because I would never get there. And he ran, and he ran, and he ran.

It's an urgency. See, too often I let my comfort slow my obedience. If a conversation feels awkward, I hesitate. If it feels risky, I hold back. But Philip reminded me that important things deserve our urgency regardless of the comfort level. And what could be more important? What could be more urgent than pointing somebody towards Jesus? Friends, listen to me. Comfort has never changed life, but obedience has. And for a lot of us, obedience doesn't start with a crowd. It starts with a name, one name. Can I state the obvious? Us Christians, we're kind of weird. All right, some of you are here for the first time in any of our campuses watching online. You're like, what is going on here? Yeah, yeah, we're a gang of weirdos. And this is how it's always been. I remember back in youth ministry days, my youth pastor in the 80s and 90s, they would do these different kind of invite events where they'd have everybody write the name of somebody they were trying to get to church. And then we'd take all those names and we'd put them up on the wall in the youth group, in the youth room. And when my friend, when a friend would finally come and show up, you were to cross their name off the list.

See, this is a great system. Until your friend walks in and goes, why is my name on your church wall? And even worse, why has it been crossed out? And it's like, because we got you. Here's some Kool-Aid, right? See, underneath the weirdness, something was right. Everybody had a name, someone that they were praying for, someone that they were inviting, someone that they weren't willing to give up on, which raises a simple question. Do you have a name? Let's keep reading. Verse 30, so Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, do you understand what you're reading? See, this is a critical question. This is critical to understand about engaging with someone who doesn't yet know the saving power and the connection to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Philip doesn't start with a sermon. He starts with a question. That's evangelism. Get curious about people. Listen, ask questions. What's your story? What do you believe in? What faith system, if any, did you grow up in? What do you think about Jesus?

See, fighting for the one doesn't require you to walk into every conversation carrying every single answer. It's simply believing that one is worth a conversation. Your one is worth a conversation. Sometimes fighting for someone starts with listening. This is something that I've gotten wrong for years and years and years. Rather than asking questions, I've often been too quick to give answers. After all, 1 Peter tells us to always be prepared to give the reason for the hope that we have in Jesus. But I have been tempted to overlook how that passage ends. We are to do it with gentleness and respect. Friends, sometimes the most gentle and respectful thing you can do is stop talking for a moment and genuinely listen. Because sometimes before somebody is willing to hear what you have to say about Jesus, they need to know you actually care about them. It's one thing to say to your kids when you're in the car at the median, oh, let's pray for that guy. It's another thing to extend a hand of generosity and take a couple bucks out of your purse, take a couple bucks out of the change drawer and hand it to them. Not judging the soil, but looking and seeing another image bearer of God. So the eunuch said to Philip, about whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this?

About myself or someone else? About himself or someone else? Then Philip opened his mouth, catch this, he began with scripture. I'm gonna pause right there. Philip began with scripture. Not a video on YouTube. YouTube, not a weird meme with flowers on it, ladies. Not even just another image of some pastor proclaiming the gospel. Philip, a regular dude, he begins with scripture. Look at me and I, I want you to get this. I said to the students at camp, God's word is the most powerful tool in all of creation. Men and women of Christ, if you are serious about reaching people far from him, you and I must understand and know God's word. You can't rely, remember a couple weeks ago, Jim said youth ministry didn't exist in the Bible, right? And all my youth pastors got very upset about that, right? There was just a fellowship of believers. There was no senior pastor, catch this, there were no senior pastors in the book of Acts. It was like, you ready? Get up here, let's go. Because everyone who was following Christ understood and succumbed themselves to digesting the word of God. You're wondering why you can't reach somebody. You're wondering why you're having a hard time articulating your faith.

It's because you don't know this book. You're just acquainted with it. Amen. And he told them the good news about Jesus. Philip opened his mouth because one is worth opening your mouth. See, at some point, you and I actually have to say the name of Jesus to people. And listen, I'm all for loving people, serving them, being generous. Listen, be the best neighbor on your street. Be the person at work everybody trusts. But eventually, somebody has to know exactly why. Eventually, you're gonna have to open your mouth and say, can I tell you what Jesus has done in my life? Not what Jesus has just done in my church, not what Jesus did at camp. Can I tell you what Jesus has done in my life? Can I confess something to y'all? Often, like when I'm out on a flight somewhere or at a restaurant, and someone says, what do you do for a living? I never tell people I'm a pastor. I rarely tell people I'm a pastor. See, I've justified it by saying, I don't wanna make things awkward. Because people sometimes act weird around pastors. Some of y'all sometimes act weird around pastors. If you don't know who it is, it's you. But lately, what the Holy Spirit's been convicting me about

is before being a pastor, I'm a follower of Jesus. I'm a found son of the King. And my witness may be the only firsthand example of faith that some people will ever see. A couple of weeks ago, I was at this restaurant with my buddy Tyler. And a group from out of town, a group of out-of-towners, they came by and struck up a conversation with us. And as usual, I started with, you know, I'm a consultant. And then I got one of those Holy Spirit nudges. So I told them, I said, yeah, I'm a pastor. I'm a Christ follower. One of the men who was intoxicated, who was intoxicated, but I could still sense the Spirit of God in him. He looked at me and he said, he said these words that felt like they came straight from the Holy Spirit. Don't ever be ashamed of following Jesus. Listen, y'all, you don't need a theology degree. You don't need a theology degree. Philip didn't have to explain everything he knew. He started where the guy was and he pointed him towards Jesus using the Word of God. That's it. Start where they are and point them towards Jesus. Every day, I get to learn so much more about our church, about the history of our church. Jim, Michael, our CFO, Karen, who's on our leadership team, they'll tell me about stories

of the early days of this church, meeting in the feed store, in the karate studio, when people would sit outside in the cold and look through window cracks just to be part of what God was doing, where people would pack their vans, their trucks, and their cars, and they would bring their friends to this place that boldly proclaimed. that regardless of their past or their background, Jesus loved them. They simply invited people to come and see. And you know what I love? That heartbeat, that culture hasn't left this place. Would you watch this story of someone who wouldn't stop going after their one? Check this out. ♪ Sister and brother ♪ What if one weekend could completely change the trajectory of your friend's life? Yeah, I fought 12 years, 12 angry years. This is what I'm talking about. I'm still alive. One of my clients badgered me, badgered me three times a week. Three times a week, three hours a week, two years. And now I need a God in my life. But I stayed persistent and I prayed for him a lot, him and his wife. And finally he started coming consistently. I saw the possibility that this guy can do serving God.

He's gonna be an inspiration to many others and he's gonna bear a lot of fruit. He doesn't know it yet, but he is. So finally one day I was like, all right, I'm gonna stop being a dummy. I said, I'm gonna hear what you, I wanna hear what I'm missing. So I walk in the first weekend, I see two dudes and a horse on stage. I'm like, all right. If she gets in a place where she feels like she actually has to fight, then what I'm gonna teach her is that she doesn't have to actually, she doesn't need to use violence to lead or to protect. And the love is gonna be so perfected in her. And the oneness that's gonna become between us is that she does not have to have the answers, but she needs to stay connected enough with me that her and I together are gonna navigate all the complexities of a world at war. I'm listening to this for the whole sermon, just fuming, just fuming and just telling myself, you really paid two guys to bring a horse to church to begin to talk about mistrust. And I'm over here in a season of mistrust. So I literally convinced myself that this is what happened, how you did it, how much you paid them, that's amazing, but I'm not coming back. So I decided to come back and you were speaking that day

and it was over fatherhood, a father that you may have turned your back on and you will always love and you'll always accept you with open arms and forgiveness. And I'm crying. It just put everything in perspective for me. I had turned my back on my father, I had turned my back on my family, I had turned my back on my family. I had turned my back on my family. I had turned my back on my earthly father. I had had a turbulent relationship with my dad, but we have a really good relationship and we would have never had that if he wasn't that forgiving and loving father. I was able to start looking at my life, the blessings that I had been receiving, that I have received. And then I realized I had never been alone through everything. If my heavenly father and my earthly father could do that for me, my son needs to know this too. So it just completely just changed everything for me. That surrender and control brings an inner peace. It allows me to just know that I'm not alone and that I've always been taken care of and that I will always be taken care of. How has church and following Jesus made a difference on your marriage? It's more about managing my expectations

of what sacrifice is. Marriage wasn't meant to serve me. I'm meant to serve my wife. What can I do? What can I sacrifice for the better of our marriage, for the better for our family? It's allowed me to gain more empathy, patience. It's allowed me to have a little bit more empathy for myself because I'm not perfect. What would you say to somebody who's thinking about inviting a friend, maybe for the first time, or to church, or maybe somebody who's been inviting somebody for 10 years and at the same time, they're like, this is hopeless. I just got to stop inviting them. What would you tell that person? Keep going, keep inviting them because you don't. Know the depths of how their life will actually be affected. You can save a marriage, you can help a man discover more purpose. And if he has more purpose, better leadership, it just trickles down through the rest of the family. It changes lives, it changes lives, it changes bloodlines. It's done more for my family than I can ever give thanks for. Y'all, I love Lavelle's story. It's incredible. It shows what patience, perseverance, and prayer can produce. When a follower of Jesus Christ says, I'm not giving up on him. That's what Vinny Sr. refused to do. And he partnered with Jesus, and it's such a gift to all of us that we get to see his journey and celebrate his story from the beginning to the moment that he intercepted Jesus. But listen, it won't always be that case. Because one is worth it, even if you never see what happens next.

They may never end up on a testimony screen, but they're worth it. Look at what it says in verse 36. And as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, See here is water. What prevents me from being baptized? And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized them. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. If you're following along in the text, in your own Bible, you probably maybe didn't even notice, I didn't even notice this until this week, that verse 37 is missing. And this is gonna come in at the end of the message, so I want you to track with me for a second. We're gonna do a quick little Bible study. See, the text goes straight from verse 36 to verse 38. But your Bible probably has a footnote that tells you what verse 37 says. What verse 37 says is what all early converts would say. They would say, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. But in the late 19th century, scholars realized that verse 37 wasn't in the original manuscripts. You see, the first Christians, their confession would be exactly that, before they were baptized. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So we can be confident that the eunuch said these words before his baptism, but the earliest manuscripts don't include his confession. Now here's the part you gotta get. It's because Bible scholars are so committed to translating the Bible accurately and faithfully that they removed verse 37 and decided to keep it as a footnote. It's small attentions to details like this that gives us the confidence, the deep confidence in the inherency of God's Word. Alright, keep moving. So the eunuch believes, confesses, and is baptized.

And that's it. Luke moves on. Later traditions would tell us about some stuff that happened, but Scripture doesn't ever tell us. And I love that because of the value of the one isn't determined by if he goes on to reach 10 people, 100 people, 10,000 people. His worth, his worth is because Jesus died for him. Don't get it twisted. Don't reach somebody because they'll become influential. No, no, no. Your one is already valuable. Even if nobody ever knows their name, if they never start a giant movement, Jesus has already established their value on the cross. In 2018, 12 boys and their soccer coach became trapped inside of a cave system in Thailand. The world watched as enormous resources commenced on this rescue operation. Divers, engineers, military personnel, doctors, volunteers from multiple countries. Think about it. All of that. All that money, all that risk to get 13 people out of a cave. And you know what, friends? Nobody got to 10 and went, Oh, that's good enough. 10 out of 13, that's pretty good. Nobody said that. Why? Because somebody's kid was still in the cave. See, that's the difference. If it's your son, percentages don't matter. If it's your daughter, 12 out of 13 isn't good enough. If it's your best friend down in there, you're not leaving. You keep fighting. And here's what I want us to understand. Still people in the cave of sin and separation from Christ Jesus. People who live next to you.

People sitting at your dinner table and Jesus hasn't given up on them, so neither should you. So what is one of one worth? The Mavericks are willing to give somebody 32 years of season tickets for a piece of cardboard because it's one on one. But look around this room, look around the room at your campus. You're surrounded by one of ones. Your neighbor is one of one. The guy at work that cuts his nails in the morning, he's one of one. Your son, your daughter, your friend. There's not another one. So what's one of one worth to God? He proved it through his son, everything. What's one of one worth to you? Maybe the more important question isn't, are they worth fighting for? Maybe the most important question is, are you willing to get into the fight? Imagine if 20,000 people fought for one. We don't start with 20, we don't start with 50, one name, one prayer, one invitation, one conversation, one step. Jim painted this picture at summer camp for the students. See, the Bible tells us that not even Jesus knows the time of his second coming. Matthew writes about this. Only the Father does.

So fast forward in your mind with me and imagine history is coming to an end. Everything's set and Jesus is about to return. And before he descends onto earth, before God opens up the sky, Jesus looks at his Father and says, Dad, can I save one more? One more son, one more daughter, one more neighbor, one more skeptic, one more person everyone else has given up on. Can I save one more? And this morning, Jesus is looking at you, friends, he's looking at me and says, can you point one more towards me? Who's your one? Across all of our campuses, you should've gotten one of these cards when you walked in the room. Don't go anywhere, because this is the most important part of the service. I wanna give you a practical way to respond to this call for your one. See, you've probably had somebody on mind most of the time I've been talking. And on this card, I want you to write their name. If you can do it right now, do it. Share a pen with somebody or do it first thing when you get in the car. I don't want you to write down the name of your whole neighborhood,

your whole cul-de-sac, just one name. And please understand, you can't control what they do with Jesus. You can't make them come to church. You can't change their heart. You can't change their heart. But what you can do is decide, I am going to pray for them. I'm gonna show up for them. I'm gonna invite them. I am not giving up on them. That's our part. You fight for the one and trust God with what's next. On the back of that card, there's a QR code with all types of resources that our teams have put together to help you reach your one. And I encourage you to use it if you're not sure where you're supposed to start. Maybe it's by inviting them to the marriage conference because that girlfriend of yours, she's made it very clear over the text messages at night that their marriage is shaky. Maybe it's inviting him to a connect group because you can see in his eyes, he sits at lunch by himself in his truck, desperate for community. Maybe it's encouraging them to go to shift or 12-step study because you know they need a Christ-centered recovery program.

Maybe it's inviting them to serve alongside you. Maybe it's asking someone sincerely, how can I be praying for you? Now, I wanna speak to another group. See, some of y'all, you're sitting there and you're like, I don't have a name to put down because you're a skeptic trying to figure out this God thing or maybe you think that your past is so damaged that Jesus would never accept you. Maybe you want this. You just don't know what to do next. If you're in that group, in this room, across our campuses, watching online, the name I want you to write down is your own because Jesus has been coming after you. And we want to point you towards him. If that's you, I want to give you an opportunity right now to ask Jesus to be the king of your life and to pledge your eternal allegiance to him and him alone. Remember what we said early on in the Bible study? Early converts, including the eunuch, would commonly confess, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. If that's you, simply say this prayer in the quietness of your heart, and get this, this isn't a magic prayer. This is simply a confession of faith. And let's start off the way the eunuch did. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I believe that you died for my sins

and rose from the grave so that I could receive the gift of eternal life. Today, I place my trust in you. If you earnestly just said that prayer, welcome to the family of God. Now, I want to encourage you to go tell somebody. Don't keep it to yourself. And Jesus says the next step is to go and be baptized. I'd love for you at all of our campuses to go talk to a staff member, go talk to a ministry leader and say, hey, I just made the best decision in my life. What do I do now? Across all of our campuses, would you stand to your feet? Hold that card in your hand. Hold that card in your hand. Imagine you're standing next to him. Imagine you're standing next to her. Look around. Thousands of one of ones. And all it takes is one name, one prayer, one invitation, one conversation, one step of obedience. When we say this together, it's a prayer. It's a declaration of expectancy, whether it takes 10 weeks or takes 10 years. However long it takes, this one is worth fighting for. Would you say that with me? However long it takes. This one is worth fighting for. Now, if you really mean it

and you want to shake the gates of hell, one more time. However long it takes. This one is worth fighting for. However long it takes, Lord Jesus, these ones are worth fighting for. So strengthen us, give us boldness, give us opportunity, give us gentleness, give us respect, give us all the good things of you, Lord Jesus, that we would go out there and fight for our one in your precious name. All God's people said, amen. Hey, Flatirons, we love you. Have a great week. Get out there and fight for that one.
