Let us know that you were here, what your next step is that you are taking, or how we can pray for you and help you!

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.

START TALKING:
What is something that one person did for you in your life that changed the trajectory of your life? It might be the reason that you have the hobby you have, your career, or your family.
How have you found yourself wanting to do for someone what that one person did for you? When have you done that?

How have you found yourself wanting to do for someone what that one person did for you? When have you done that?
START THINKING:
Read Matthew 18:12-14. What are other or modern day metaphors or examples of when someone might be willing to leave what they have in a safe place to go find the one thing that went missing?
What would it have communicated about the value of the missing sheep if the shepherd said, "At least I still have 99. I won't worry about the one that's lost."?
How did the shepherd know that one was missing? What would this have required of the shepherd? What does this teach us about our Father? And if we are to be like Him, what does it teach us to do?

START SHARING:
When you think about your spiritual story, who noticed that you were the one that was lost? What did they do to intentionally pursue you and seek you out so that you would come to follow Jesus?
Read Luke 15:7. What is similar about this verse and the story Jesus tells about the shepherd? How is this different than the way many Christians and even churches seem to operate? Why is this the case?
Read John 10:4 and 10:14. The lost sheep is going to respond to the shepherd when he comes searching because the sheep has a relationship with and trusts the shepherd. When you think about your own story, how was trust built with you or how was a relationship vital to you being open to hearing the story of the Gospel and responding to an invitation to Jesus?
How have you intentionally pursued and reached out to someone by first building a relationship and earning trust with them?

START DOING:
Thinking about the four steps to reaching your one, go around the microchurch and answer each of these questions:
1. Who are you going to pray for daily? What will you be praying for?
2. What will you do this week to earn their trust and build relationship with them? What needs can you meet?
3. Before inviting them to Jesus, how can you relate your own story to them?
4. What are ways that you can invite them to experience Jesus and ultimately to follow Jesus?

START PRAYING:
Pray by name for each person's "one" that was shared in the microchurch. Check in with each other throughout the week to ask how it is going and to pray for each other. Ask God right now to give each of us an awareness to see with spiritual eyes as we notice the lost sheep around us and to have the heart of God to be willing to pursue and go after those He brings to 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.
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!
