Experiencing God.

Mark 5:20
20 So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns[a] of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.


We've all been to amusement parks right? Whether it is Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Wet 'N Wild, or Six Flags, if you're a fan of roller coasters you know it's quite a ride and experience to go to such a place. The excitement only lasts for a couple minutes and then each brave individual must exit back into the real world that consists of loops of excitment or frustration (insert any emotion here).

You really don't have to go very far to find such an awesome experience. Better yet, it doesn't have to just last for two or three minutes either. Instead we can offer an encounter with God that lasts a lifetime to others. We can draw people into the church by showing them this thrill-seeker. This can be life-changing to people. Anyone you tell about your experience of God's power may tell people they know about it. It's a cyclonic - roller coaster loop - that shows all the great things that God does everyday.

Despite any roller coaster experiences (up and down times) of your life, let others join you in the adventurous ride of God's love by introducing them to it in the first place.

“Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” ~C.S. Lewis
