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.

1. When you are in the Ekklesia - you must identify your Ek-Kaleo
The first church didn't have Bibles, services or buildings.
They met outside, they were a pure movement, they met early on the first day.
What are you devoted to?

2. Following "The Way" of Jesus requires us to passionately hold to the truth of Jesus!
3. Following the truth is essential when you follow "The Way" of Jesus.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
Have you ever gotten lost? What did you have to do to find your way?
How important is it to have truthful and accurate information to find your way?
Has bad information ever contributed to you losing your way? What did you do?
Have you identified false ways of thinking that you have since corrected? How has the truth of the Scripture made a difference in the direction and outcome of your life?
Why did we know clearly what McDonalds, Mercedes, and Coors mission is, but we struggled to quickly answer and identify what the mission of the church is?
Have you thought much about the five things the first Church did? How can your micro church better focus on those five things?
How can you be more courageous when you normally would be fearful, or make an excuse? How can you share this week what Jesus means to you?
What was something that the Spirit revealed to you from the teaching time this week?

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!
