The Bible teaches us to give the first 10% of our income to the "storehouse." God says we can test Him by doing this and watching Him take care of us in return. This may sound like a stretch to you! Just take a step toward toward that goal. If you currently give nothing, start giving something. If you give something, try increasing it a step toward the 10% goal. Trust God! Give Him your first before anything else by setting up a recurring, automated donation online. You will then receive quarterly updates about how your giving is making a difference and how your donations are being used.
http://www.onelifeknox.com/giveBottom Line: My created identity is revealed when what I've created is removed.
1. I need to trust the mirror.
2. My heart and my mind create a false identity.
3. My false identity prevents the discovery of my created identity.
4. God's desire is to reveal my created identity.
START TALKING
When have you discovered the original or intended creation of something once something else that was covering it up had been removed? Maybe it was carpet hiding original and beautiful hardwood floors. Maybe it was getting the weeds out of your yard so the grass could grow. Or maybe it was restoring something back to it's original condition.
What had to be removed so that the original creation could be seen?

START THINKING
Read Psalm 139:23-24. Then read verses 19-22. Why do you think the Psalmist prays the prayer in verses 23-24 right after describing what he does in verses 19-22?
Read Jeremiah 17:9. How does this verse seem to go hand in hand with this prayer from Psalm 139?
Why do you think most people in today's culture struggle with the truth in Jeremiah 17:9 and even the prayer in Psalm 139:23-24?

START SHARING
When you began following Jesus or as you have grown closer to Him, what were some of the areas of your false identity that you had not noticed before but became clear to you?
What does your heart and mind tend to tell you that is in opposition to what God says about you and who he has created you to be?
What are some verses that come to mind or that you can search to find that speak to your created identity?

START DOING
If God's desire is to reveal to you His created identity for you, what are some disciplines and practices that you can put into place on a daily basis that will help you to discover that created identity?
What have you found is most helpful to you to be intentional each day to discover what is blocking you from discovering your created identity and then realize who He has truly created you to be? Share those practices with each other, how you do it, and how we can learn from each other.

START PRAYING
Take a Next Step!
Don't just attend church for an hour a week. Take a step! What step should you take?
1. Follow Jesus! If you have followed Jesus...
2. Get baptized! If you are following Jesus, then that's all you need to be "ready" to take this step.
3. Volunteer! Don't simply be a consumer, but be part of making a difference in the lives of those who come to OneLife to experience Jesus. There are weekday and Sunday opportunities. Get info about what opportunities there are for you!
4. Join a micro church! You can't have true community sitting in rows with a large crowd. That's not the church - it's an event! Micro churches are small "churches" of 10-12 adults that meet in homes throughout the week to learn together, pray together, serve the community together, and care for each other together.
Get more information about any of the above, send us your prayer requests so we can pray with you, or ask any question we can help you with by filling out the online connection card!
