Question of the Day - 3:44

Did you grow up in an appetizer family or a non-appetizer family? And what are you today?

Hot Topic - 6:27

“Nobody showed up to our church this weekend because we told them we told them go to another church to remind ourselves that the kingdom is bigger than any one local church!”

This brings up an interesting topic. The idea behind this activity is that the church is encouraged to remember that the Church is bigger that our local congregation. It is so easy in America at least to feel a sense of competition with other congregations. What is a biblical way to view other churches around us?

Recap - 13:47

1. 16:02 - We haven’t talked a lot about persecution while having gospel conversations yet. First, Steve, do we experience persecution in America today?
2. 20:24 - Eric, you mentioned that at the end of Acts 13, we see that they are stirring up persecution against Paul and Barnabus, but they moved on filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. Can we talk about that for a second? How do you develop that mindset and confidence to not get discouraged?
3. 26:15 - CQ: Why is Paul mentioned but not Barnabus when it comes to the stoning?
4. 27:58 - You both talked about the role of the speaker and brought out an important point about how the speaker has an important responsibility to consider how their message will be received. What is the role of a listener in those situations and how much should we put on ourselves to know what our audience is thinking?

1. CQ: Shows like The Chosen and House of David often add things that are not in scripture.
1. Is this a case of "sanctified imagination" or altering the word of the Lord? 
2. As followers of Jesus, should we point nonbelievers to shows like this if they are resistant to opening up the Bible as an introduction to Christ.

What would be your last meal? 

Hot Topic - 5:28

CQ: Our community group had a lively discussion about whether or not it is inherently sinful for Christians to attend Mardi Gras parades in general, but also including Spanish town. How can one filter what parades might be sinful?

Discussion & Member Questions - 16:06

Recap

1. Was there anything during the preparation of this sermon that you wanted to elaborate on or geek out about?
2. The sermon this past Sunday was about the early church understanding for the first time that the gospel is for the whole world. Let’s talk about how spreading the gospel to the nation applies to us. Some church members might wonder why does that have anything to do with me?
3. CQ: Is there something in today’s culture that represents or is close to the type of deeply ingrained ethnic divide they had back in Peter’s time? 
4. On Sunday, we talked about prayer walking. Could you elaborate on what that is and why we are doing it?
5. CQ: Someone born with a physical handicap asked me why they were born that way. Is it more Biblically accurate to tell them that A. There is nothing wrong with them and they were made in the image of God, B. We live in a broken world because of sin, or C. Another better answer?

Question of the Day - 2:24

What are your pet peeves?

Hot Topic - 6:34

A recent study from Pew Research Center surveyed over 3,600 people from all 50 states. The study found that young people are spiritual but not religious.

Few 18-29 year olds consider themselves religious. 54% have never attended a religious service of any kind. 21% said they only attend once or twice a year.

Yet, over 70% believe there is something beyond the natural world. 82% believe people have souls. 76% believe in God or a universal spirit and 60% report feeling a supernatural presence several times a year or more.

What are your thoughts on these statistics?

Discussion & Community Questions - 15:08

Was there anything during your sermon prep that you wanted to elaborate on or geek out about?

In Acts it talks about people believing in Jesus but needing the laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit. Would love to hear input on this practice during Biblical time and why we don't do this at The Chapel today.

How do we slow down and become more in tune with the Holy Spirit?

How do you discern whether your words will fall on a hardened heart?

If you were to explain "bend the knee of my heart" to a child how would you do it? What does it mean?

Hypothetically, if a person gives themselves to the Lord but has an addiction but they have trouble giving up that addiction will they still get to go to Heaven?

2:58 - What is one state or country you would love to visit?
