~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
The story of the man who Jesus healed from blindness is found in John 9.
Christ (Jesus) is the visible image of the invisible God. - Colossians 1:15
He (God) is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them - he remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind… Psalm 146:6-8
“Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Isaiah 35:4-5

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. Garry shared how his daughter had been missing out by not being able to see. Have you ever realized you were missing out on something only after you experienced something better? Share the story.
2. Read John 9:1. The disciples assumed the man’s blindness was the result of someone’s sin. What wrong assumptions about God do people still make when bad things happen?
3. Read John 9:6-16. Jesus used mud to heal—partly to push back against extra religious rules. How can we guard against adding unnecessary “rules” to following Jesus?
4. Read John 9:17. The healed man’s view of Jesus grew step-by-step. How has your understanding of Jesus changed over time?
5. Read John 9:24-25. What might “spiritual blindness” look like in our world today?
6. The man risked rejection to tell the truth about Jesus. What’s one way you can share your own “I was blind but now I see” story this week?
