Back to School Sermon Presented August 19, 2012 at Curwensville Alliance<\/h3>\n

Just last year, Austin Smith, a 15-year-old from Michigan, was bleeding the brakes on a 1991 Buick Century with his grandfather.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"muscle\"<\/a>While Austin was inside the car pumping the pedal, the vehicle shifted and after he got out, it fell off the blocks, pinning Grandpa Ernie under 2,000 pounds of steel.<\/p>\n

As he tells the story, Austin says, “I was just so scared. I didn’t know what to do.” So Austin grabbed the car by its front bumper and lifted. He lifted it high enough that his grandpa could crawl out.<\/p>\n

How did he do that?<\/strong> Huey Lewis might say, \u201cThat\u2019s the power of love.\u201d We all know it\u2019s adrenaline. When you are in that kind of situation, sometimes, your body can do things that aren\u2019t humanly possible. Or at least not ordinarily humanly possible.<\/p>\n

Austin was living above his natural abilities \u2014 empowered to do something he could not naturally hope to do. God does that for Christians \u2014 empowers us to live above our nature.<\/p>\n

This podcast suggests that you can do that as you head to school this fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n
