Questions - John 9 & Ezk 21-22

November 8th, 2026

Purpose

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” (Acts 2:42)

As explained in Acts 2:46–47:
“And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart… And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

And commanded in Titus 2:2-8:
“2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.”

HCF Vision

We believe simple, relational gatherings are the heartbeat of biblical discipleship. These meetings are fulfilling what is described in Titus 2 / Acts 2:42, and are designed to be natural extensions of everyday life — not another program, but a return to how the early church “did life” together.
Scriptural Core Elements of Gatherings:

Breaking of Bread – Enjoy a meal or refreshments together
Fellowship – Spiritual conversation and authentic sharing
Apostles’ Doctrine – Discuss God’s Word and how it applies to real life
Prayer – Pray for one another and for the lost

These gatherings can be used in one-on-one (Titus 2), small group, or family settings (Acts 2:46). Keep them simple, joyful, and reproducible so anyone can host them.

Goal

To Join Jesus in the Great Commission of:

WIN a person to Jesus → DISCIPLE a person in Jesus → SEND a person in Jesus

Wednesday Bible Study Date: Nov 4, 2026
Bible Study Theme: Ezekiel 21-22

In (Vs 21:21) we see the king of Babylon making a decision at a “fork in the road” with all his humanistic and pagan wisdom. We discussed 5 sure fire principles for a believer to discover God’s direction at a fork in the road. Discuss if you have found yourself, or are at a fork in the road and how these principles are being used by the Lord to help guide you?
- Read your Bible (Hebrews 4:12) what is it saying, and how does your decision line up with the inspired Word of God?
- The still small voice of the Holy Spirit guiding you into all truth(John 6:13, Phil 2:13), what has been your honest, surrendered, consistent desire when seeking the Lord?
- How is your peace or lack there of when you lean in either direction (Colossians 3:15).
- How has God been speaking to you through other Godly counsel on this decision (Proverbs 11:14)
- Are you fixated on a decision or the face of God who directs you (Psalm 32:8)?

Application Questions from Bible Studies (Sunday)

Sunday Bible Study Date: Nov 8, 2026
Bible Study Theme: John 9 – “knowing Jesus as The Light of the World”

In (Vs 3) we see the reason Jesus states for Gods allowing the physical “defect” in this man's life who was born blind. “That the works of God should be revealed in him.” Do you have any physical, or spiritual “defect” in life that you wrestle with the purpose behind it? Read (1Corinthians 1:26-31, Romans 8:28-29) and discuss how you plan on perceiving this in the future, differently than you have in the past?

In (Vs 9) we see the testimony of this man’s transformed life from blindness to light by neighbors and those who previously had seen him in his prior state of blindness. Are there those in your life that have or could testify of your previous state without Christ, and could now testify of your current state. Share as an encouragement to one another of God’s transformation in your own life? If not, why not?

In (Vs 25) In the midst of all the religious debate the man makes a very wise declaration of truth. In my words, I don’t know much . . . but One thing I know for certain is, that though I was blind, now I see.” Share your testimony of spiritual blindness to sight and how this emboldens you to share the gospel with those who may just want to argue. Share who you plan to share with this week.

In (Vs 39-41) Jesus makes a difference between those who claim they can see(pride) and those who admit they can’t but by His miraculous Grace now can. What is the danger of thinking we can figure it all out without Christ. In What ways can we become blinded by pride? Read (Revelation 3:17-18) and if need be, confess the sin of pride, come to Jesus and receive an opening of the eyes to enjoy more grace and truth through Jesus. Be specific.

Memory Verse (Psalm 119:11):

(John 9:25) “He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see."”

2. Fellowship / Breaking of Bread (1 John 1:3-10, James 5:13-16)

Are you suffering?
Do you have any praise to be cheerful about?
Do you have any sickness to pray for healing?
Do you have any sin to confess?

3. Prayer – (1 Peter 5:7, Gal 6:2)

Share how God has answered prayers from our previous gathering and give thanks for His faithfulness. (Review what was written from the previous meeting)
Bear one another’s burdens and pray for one another (write them down)

Send a person for Jesus – (Acts 1:8)

What good works (service in the body of Christ) do you see God preparing you to walk in or have you walked in recently? (Ephesians 2:10) Share and pray about it.

Do you see the Lord opening a door for you to share the gospel this week? (Revelation 3:8) Share and pray about it.
