Have you ever run out of gas? I (Caleb) have! In high school, just after I got my permit to drive to school, I ran out of gas just a few blocks away from the school. My friends made more than a couple of jokes at my expense. Carrying that bright red gas can along the shoulder of the road is a lonely walk of shame. Embarrassing. Here’s the reality—fuel is the most basic necessity for your automobile; you simply cannot go without it. Following Christ isn’t easy. We were born into a sinful nature. The fuel that we need to follow Christ comes from beyond ourselves. The good news from Scripture this week is that God offers His power to us so that we can live our lives for Him. The same power that raised Christ from the grave is now available to us! You are not weak in Christ. You are not wasting away in Christ. You are not wishing against hope in Christ. You are an overcomer in Christ. This week, learn from these stories of God’s power, and choose to seek Christ’s power in your life.
—Pastor Caleb
