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: Prayer and fasting are the keys to resetting my life and resetting my church.
1. Jesus expects me to pray.
2. Prayer is personal before it is public.
3. Jesus expects me to fast.
FASTING
Deliberate abstinence from some form of physical gratification for a period of time to achieve a spiritual goal.

6. Fasting brings results.
START TALKING:
What are everyday things in your life that need a reset every once in a while in order to work properly?
What happens if you never reset the things shared above?

START THINKING:
Read Matthew 6:5-17. How many times do you see the word “when” in this passage and what is it referring to each time? What is the significant or implication of Jesus using this word?
What similar warning does Jesus give about prayer and fasting in terms of what not to do? What does this mean we SHOULD do when we fast and pray?
If Jesus expects us to fast, why don’t we do it?

START SHARING:
How were you taught to pray? What were the examples of prayer that you saw growing up or when you first started following Jesus? Was it similar to or different than what Jesus describes in this passage?
What have you been taught or what have you understood about fasting? Have you ever fasted? Why or why not?
If you have fasted before, how did it humble you? How did it focus you on God? What did you see God do? If you haven’t fasted before, what do you think you can expect in each of those three areas?

START DOING:
Read Matthew 6:9-13. If this is our model for how to pray, what are the different pieces to what our prayer should include? How can you use this as a model to pray?
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17. How can you put this into practice in real life?
What will you plan to do to join our church in the 40 days of prayer and fasting? Which day will you fast? What will you be seeking from God as you do this?

START PRAYING:
Pray for each person in the microchurch to grow in the disciplines of prayer and fasting. Pray that each of us come to a greater daily experience and relationship with the Father as a result. Pray that this brings us an even greater understanding of our vision to see every OneLifer living on mission and making a difference for eternity in the lives of those around us.

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.
