OneLife Students Summer Olympics
Summer is only half way over but OneLife Students is just getting started. We have had an incredible time so far from our summer kick-off, to camp, to the smokies game last Wednesday. The fun is continuing this Wednesday night as both campuses will be meeting at the North Campus for the rest of the summer. If you are in middle or high school and haven’t gotten involved, now is the perfect time.

Serve The City, July 28
Our church is going out into the community to lead tons of different service projects in an annual initiative we call Serve The City. We’ll be serving in our local schools, senior and community homes, homeless ministries, and much more. To find a project to get involved with, visit onelifeknox.com/servethecity or use the Serve The City card in your chair.
Baptism
If you’ve given your life to Jesus but haven’t gone public with your story through baptism then it’s time to take that step! Mark the baptism box on your Connection Card and we’ll help you get started.

Bottom Line: We’re poured in for a purpose!
Philippians 2:1-2 NLT
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
1. Our purpose is accomplished together.
Philippians 2:3-4 NLT
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
2. Our purpose is found beyond ourselves.
Philippians 2:5 NLT
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Philippians 2:12-13 NLT
Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
3. Our purpose will look like Jesus.
Philippians 2:17 NLT
But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy.
4. Our purpose will empty us of ourselves.
5. Our purpose will produce joy.
We’re poured in for a purpose… to pour out!

- What questions did you ask to discover where God is at work in their life, even if they are not aware?
- How were you able to share your story of life change or how you have experienced Jesus?
- How can you be intentional this week with people where you live, work, and play to have spiritual/missional conversations if the opportunity arises?
- Who in your life do you think could be disciple-able or open to spiritual/missional conversations?
