On July 22, 1894: The first ever motor race is held in France between the cities of Paris and Rouen. The fastest finisher was the Comte Jules-Albert de Dion, but the "official" victory was awarded to Albert Lemaître driving his three-horsepower petrol engined Peugeot.

This historical event can serve as a powerful sermon illustration about God's creation and human discovery. Consider using it when preaching about discovery.
