Ultimate Fighter Truths
I was the speaker for the youth at FUMC Lawrenceville during Camp Meeting. FUMC has a
weeklong camp meeting with evening worship. After the service, the youth gather for their
own worship and Allen asked me to be the speaker.
I had a great time. One, I love to speak. Two, I love teenagers. Three, I love/miss the
teenagers at FUMC. So, it was the perfect combination (plus I got a little Allen time and that is
always good). Since I had three nights, I picked the tempation narrative from Matthew 4:1-11.
We looked at how we can be the Ultimate Fighters God created us to be (not to be confused with
my brother’s church, The Vine, and their series). The last night we invited kids to come forward
and be annointed as God’s ultimate fighter. It brought me to tears to see the number of kids that
came forward to make that commitment. I later found out that some kids even changed thier facebook
religion profile to God’s Ultimate Fighter.
I think God created us to do amazing things for him. I am always thrilled when people decide to be
the awesome person they were created to be. To think of a generation of God’s ultimate fighters
rising up gives me chills.
Anyway, are you willing to be an ultimate fighter for God? Do you want to make a difference?
Just asking. God bless.
