Give Online

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.

Bottom Line: Knowing what the Bible really says helps me know how to really live.
1. The Bible is divine.
2. The Bible has power.
3. The Bible has authority.
4. I need to know for myself what the Bible really says.
START TALKING

What is something from everyday life you believed or were convinced was true, and maybe even others did, too, only to later to find out you had misremembered it or the common understanding had been wrong all along?
START THINKING:

How would you explain 2 Timothy 3:16 to someone else in your own words? How does this make the Bible so much more than a text book?

Read 2 Peter 1:20-21. Why is this an important concept to understand? If the Bible was simply words and opinions written by human authors, what would change about its power and authority?
START SHARING:

Read Hebrews 4:12. What are examples that you have experienced where you found new truths in old stories or verses you had heard and read before?

When have you experienced the Bible being active in your life by helping you understand or process something you were going through? When has it helped you to realize something about your life even when there wasn't a specific verse applying to that specific situation?

When have you had to submit to the authority of God's Word in an area where it teaches or instructs something that you wish was different? How does seeing yourself as the child in the story and God as the Father who knows and wants what is best for you affect the way you can submit to even the hard things?
START DOING:

Read 2 Timothy 2:15. What is a rhythm of reading and studying the Bible every day that works for you? What have you found helps you stay consistent with this practice?

How can you turn to the Bible when you have questions arise in conversation with other people to be able to "correctly explain the truth" as 2 Timothy 2:15 says to do?
START PRAYING:

Pray for each person in the micro church to apply God's Word to their lives in every area. Pray that each person would experience the divine, powerful, authoritative Word of God. Pray for each person to be daily studying God's Word for themselves to know what it really says so they know how to really live.

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.
