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.

All-in sacrifice multiplies the mission.
Greed is rooted in dishonesty.
Greed multiplies greed.
The mission will not be stopped.

What choices that may have seemed insignificant or inconsequential at the time led you to living where you live with who you live with and doing what you do? Trace it back as far as you can, including the choices others made that ultimately led you here.

START THINKING:
Read Acts 4:36-37 and 5:1-11. What is the compare and contrast that Luke, the author of Acts, is making with these two examples?
In Acts 5:1-11, what role does spiritual warfare play in the story? How could it seem that it was personal offense being highlighted rather than the reality of spiritual warfare? Read Ephesians 6:12. How does this verse help to understand the major truth of Acts 5:1-11?
What sins are exposed in this story? Why do you think God responded in the way He did to this? How did this serve to purify and warn the early church?

START SHARING:
How have you experienced all-in sacrifice multiplying the mission? What sacrifice did others make so that you could know Jesus? How have you seen your own sacrifice multiply the mission and lead others to know Jesus?
How have you seen greed be rooted in dishonesty and multiply greed in others? What choices are made when you are greedy versus the choices you make when you sacrifice?

START DOING:
What are you willing to sacrifice to fuel the mission? What will you have to give up that you love in order to sacrifice?
How will this sacrifice allow you to experience the Gospel? How does your sacrifice make you like Jesus and his sacrifice for you, even if it pales in comparison to the cross?

START PRAYING:
Pray for each other in the micro church, for our church as a whole, and for the Church in our nation to be united in mission. Pray for each of us to be rooted in the Gospel and God's word first and foremost, full of both truth and grace. Pray that we would all be willing to sacrifice so that the flame can be fueled, not just for our family, friends, and neighbors now, but also for those in the generations to come.

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!
