Specific Purpose: To explain to my audience in my experience how God is real.
Introduction:
I. When I was a young, my family did not preach about religion in the household. A. My mom was Jewish and dad was Baptist. They both believe in God B. My family let me make my own choice about God and religion and I chose not to believe.
II. After becoming a teenager, I was interested about the many religions. I read about the different views and rules. I found out many are alike, but they have so many different rules. I still did not believe.
III. I read and heard about the miracles God has done and can do. A. I am one that has to see it to believe it. I had no faith. B. I like to have lots of fun in my yearly years on life.

Thesis Statement: Today I will show you that God is real and the miracles God can do for someone if you believe.
