The story of your life.

1. On Sunday, Pastor Kyle shared about how to position ourselves for a life of possibility with God. One of the first things to note about that is to focus on God’s power and His presence within us more than our problems and fears in life. Since we’re entering “spooky season,” if anyone feels comfortable, share one of your biggest fears. How have you been able to work through it, work around it, or perhaps even overcome it?(MULTILINE)
2. Another thing we talked about on Sunday was the power of setting up physical reminders/memorials in our lives of the Gospel, of God’s grace, and His goodness to us personally. What are some physical reminders you have that help you remember these things and focus more on God’s faithfulness to you?(MULTILINE)
