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: A healthy fear of God sets me free from the unhealthy fear of what people think.
1. Fear of what people think leads to compromise.
2, Fear of what people think distorts my priorities.
3. Fear of what people think has long-term consequences.
4. Only the one who died for me matters.
START TALKING:
We live in a world of trends and followers. What are some examples you've seen of people trying to jump on trends to (in all reality) impress other people? What are some of the more bizarre things you have seen people do to impress other people or be like other people?

START THINKING:
Read 1 Samuel 15:1-9. What did God tell Saul to do?
What did Saul do instead?
Read 1 Samuel 15:10-15. What did Saul attempt to justify?
Rad 1 Samuel 15:16-25. What did Saul say was the reason he did not fully obey God? What were the long-term consequences for this?

START SHARING:
Saul's worry about what people thought about him led him to compromise and do what they wanted and thought was right rather than what God told him to do. When have you found that you are prone to compromise obedience in God because of what people think?
Even after Saul was told that there would consequences for being more concerned about people than he was what God thought of him, he still prioritized their opinions of him (1 Samuel 15:30) over what God said about him. What spiritual priorities get distorted when we worry more about what people think than what God thinks? When have you experienced this?

START DOING:
Read 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. Only the one who died for me matters! What can you do this week to live out this verse and this truth?
Read 2 Corinthians 10:5. How can this verse help you this week when you find those thoughts creeping in to worry about what someone is going to think about you?

START PRAYING:
Pray for each person in the micro church to prioritize what God thinks about them and pleasing him over what people might think about them. Pray that this difference is seen by those where we live, work, and play so that we stay focused on what matters and who matters the most. Pray for each person to

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.
