TESTIMONY: Rob Guss
After my parents divorced, I turned my back on God and became an atheist. I didn’t know it then, but that decision came to have drastic consequences over my life.
As a young musician my heroes were rock stars who lived their lives by three things: sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. I wanted to be like them so I too lived my life by chasing after these things. I became addicted to drugs as a teenager and in doing so also became a drug dealer in order to support my habit. I found myself feeling more hollow and empty than before. Life was too painful and I thought about suicide on a daily basis.
Many say your life has three destinations as an addict: a prison, a mental institution or in the ground. I was convinced there would soon be padded walls in my future until one Sunday morning I heard a voice say to me “Go to church!” Interestingly enough, I listened and visited the closest church I could find.
Immediately I was overwhelmed with a sense of peace and joy. Having never experienced the presence of God before in my life, I had an immediate revelation that this was Jesus as I felt true love for the first time! God overwhelmingly proved not only His existence, but most importantly His love for me! I am living proof that God surely exists and that He still performs miracles. If he can love a sinner as wicked as me, truly His love is great enough to love you too. Just come as you are!
As a church we do not believe in doing life alone. We want to pray with you.
