Let Us Fight Bravely for Our City
“Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
God calls us to be courageous and to fight purposefully for the city where He has placed us. In our case, Las Vegas is the mission field He has assigned to us—a place in need of spiritual transformation, where many have yet to experience the love and grace of Jesus. Our calling is not only to face challenges but to do so with the character of Christ. 1 Chronicles 19:13 (NKJV)

How to Fight for Our City:
- Fight with passion.

- Fight with compassion.
- Jesus had compassion for the multitudes. Likewise, we must look at our city with a sensitive heart, ready to help those in need and show them God’s love.
- Fight with love.
- Love is the most powerful weapon we have. Through love, we can win hearts for Christ and reflect the essence of our God.
