Icebreaker: If your story were captured in a book, what genre would it be? Drama, Action, Comedy, Mystery, Thriller, Romance….?
Today’s Big Idea: Your blessedness and your brokenness reveal the story God is writing in you.
3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 2 Corinthians 3:3
