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.

A united community with…
1. …a new identity.
2. …new clothes.
3. …a new equality.

START TALKING:
When have you been part of a team or community that had such a strong and clearly shared mission that it didn’t matter what other divisions existed in the group because everyone was striving to accomplish the same thing?

START THINKING:
Read Galatians 3:26. Think about what you inherited or will inherit from your parents. Now compare that to what you inherit from your Heavenly Father. What do you think it means to be His heir? What do you inherit?
Read Galatians 3:27. What does the image of putting on new clothes help you to see or understand as it relates to follow Jesus?
Read Galatians 3:28. If this was written in a modern context, what might Paul have used to write this? There is no longer ______ nor _______?

START SHARING:
What has it meant to you for your identity to be Jesus alone? What does it look like for you when Jesus is your identity?
What do you notice about people who are clothed in Jesus? What do you want people to see in you? If people made assumptions about your faith from the outter appearance of your life, what would they see?
What do you think this passage means in terms of how you should live if we experience unity rather than uniformity? Unity rather than sameness?

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!
