PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE BRINGS HOPE

You know the NBA playoffs are going right now and there is always talk about the teams having experience in the playoffs. What does that mean? It means they have been there before and know how to work through things. It also means they can remember past victories and actually gain strength for the game at hand from those memories and experiences. Take strength from victories your church has won, and learn from the experience for the sometimes difficult "playoff" situations ahead.
