Do You Hear Jesus Knocking?

🌿 In the midst of our cracked and muddy lives, God shows up — and nothing stays the same.

When we surrender our hearts to Jesus Christ, He exchanges our old self for a new one. The way we once walked is transformed, and we are called to run the race set before us with faith and perseverance. His Holy Spirit within us produces fruit — *love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control* — shining through us into a darkening world.

This week at Gospel Garage, we dive into the powerful reminder that **life in Christ is a new life**, rooted in the truth of the Gospel and empowered by the Holy Spirit. As we reflect on Philippians 3:7-12, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 10:8-10, and Psalms 86:9, we are reminded to leave behind what was and press forward toward what God has for us.

🙏 If you’ve been feeling stuck, weary, or lost — be encouraged.** God’s grace is abundant, and His love is renewing. Seek Him, trust Him, and allow Him to guide you in the race ahead.
