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: Developing a sparrow perspective defeats a worry perspective.
1. I matter more than I realize.
2. Falls happen, but God is there.
3. God is in the details.
4. Trust my Father's budget.
START TALKING:
Think about your mom or your grandmother or another mother-like figure in your life. What did they or do they worry about? If you are a mom, what do you find yourself worrying about in the realm of motherhood and raising your kids?
Which of those worries are connected to worth and value? How could they be ultimately rooted in a worry about mattering?

START THINKING:
Read Luke 12:4-7
-Of whom are we not to be afraid? Why not?
-Who are we to fear? Why? What kind of fear is meant?
-What reason does Jesus give for not succumbing to fear?
-Describe a time when you felt like a “5th Sparrow”, worthless, insignificant, no value?

-What reason does Jesus give for not succumbing to fear?
-Describe a time when you felt like a “5th Sparrow”, worthless, insignificant, no value?
START SHARING:
Read Matthew 10:29-31
-What percentage of the time do you spend thinking about what God says about your value compared
to thinking about whether you matter to other people? 25/75? 60/40? 10/90?
- What are the things you tend to do to make yourself feel important?
What do each of these verses teach us about our true value
and significance? And then share how you have experienced each of these or how you struggle to live out each of these truths.
-Psalm 139:14-15
-Psalm 139:17-18
-Ephesians 2:10

START DOING:
The sparrow perspective means believing each of the truths below, rather than the lie compared to them. What can you do this week to apply each of these truths to your daily life?
The "Sparrow" Perspective // The "Worry" Perspective
- I am worth more than I realize. // I am only as good as my last mistake.
- God is in the details (the hairs). // I have to manage every detail myself.
- Falls happen, but God is there. // A fall is a catastrophe and a sign of failure.
- Trust the Father's budget. // There will never be enough.
How does living out the sparrow perspective impact the story you have to tell to your "one"? How do those far from God need to know that they can also have the sparrow perspective by following Jesus?

START PRAYING:
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!
