March 8, Acts 2:42 Questions

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of
bread, and in prayers.” as explained in (Acts 2:46) “And continuing daily with one accord in
the temple (corporate Sunday/Wednesday gatherings at HCF), and breaking bread from
house to house (Acts 2:42 home fellowships), they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.” Resulting in (Acts 2:47) “. . . and the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

To be used in one-on-one, group, or family settings. We encourage the enjoyment of a meal or refreshments together (breaking of bread), spiritual conversation (fellowship), time discussing how the Word applies to our lives, and time of praying together during these simple gatherings.

Simply do life as believers should, and invite others to join you.

Bible study dates: 3-8-26
Bible study Themes: “The Heart of Giving Part 2” – 2Corinthians 9
APOSTLES DOCTRINE(WORD)
o THROUGH THE BIBLE READING
1. Do you have any thoughts questions on your “Through the Bible” reading plan?
o APPLICATIONS QUESTIONS FROM BIBLE STUDIES:

1- In (Vs 1-8) we really focused on the attitude that God wants us to give and serve Him.
“Not grudgingly, but out of a cheerful heart”. Have you ever been tempted to serve the
Lord with a grudging heart? Why or why not after listening to our study on
(2Corinthians 9:7). Do you see serving the Lord as a obligation or a privilege?

2- In (Vs 8-10) we discussed how that when we give, “God supplies.” Have you ever had
God show you what He wanted you to do and allowed “human reasoning and math”
keep you from obeying? What did we learn in this that would change the way you walk
this out.

3- In (Vs 11-14) we see that the Corinthians giving would bring praise and “glory to God”.
In What ways can our giving take away from the glory of God, and what does it look like
to give Glory to God in giving without being weird or hyperspiritual? NOTE (Matthew
5:16, 6:1-4).

4- In (Vs 15) we see that the motivation for giving is really a heart of “gratitude” for God’s
Gift to man in His Son Jesus Christ. Have you ever been so overwhelmed by the gift of
God to you that it left you speechless? Explain, and explain how this has motivated you
in the service to your King Jesus?

5- Overall the point of Chapters 8 and 9 is that God wants us to give out of grace. Discuss
what this means that “In grace giving we do not give in order to get, but because we
have been freely given Grace and that overflows, and when given freely makes room to
experience more of His grace.”

6- Overall has this study adjusted your attitude towards giving and service in the Kingdom.
How so.
