(2:07) Question of the Day:Tell me about your favorite coffee cup.(11:20) Hot Topic:A lot of churches use phrases like “we are a church family” and “we do life together” and I know here at the Chapel, we even call ourselves a Chapel Family. Now there are mixed studies on church whether church is a place of belonging or that it can still be lonely. What does it mean to be a church family? Discussion & Member Questions:(17:00) Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about(19:40) What does it mean to live sent in our church compared to the campus, city, and world where we’re talking about pray, invest, invite, etc.?(22:23) You said, “If you’re not using your gift, we are at a deficit.” What would it look like if every member of the church served.

How can they find out?(31:23) What are the biggest needs at The Chapel right now?(35:13) Help me work through some common objections someone might have to getting involved in church. (35:37) I don’t really feel like I need to help. I won’t get anything out of it. (39:27) I don’t think I have any useful gifts.
