SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

1. What’s something you’ve tried once because everyone else was doing it—but quickly realized it wasn’t for you?

2. The sermon talked about how Easter crowds are big, but often don’t last. Why do you think people are drawn to Jesus initially but struggle to keep following Him?

3. In John 6, many people walked away when Jesus’ teaching got hard. Why do you think people still walk away from Jesus today?

4. Peter said, “To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” What do you think he meant by that—even though he didn’t fully understand Jesus?

5. Have you ever had a season where you “looked elsewhere” for satisfaction, hope, or purpose? What did you find?

6. The bleeding woman had tried everything before turning to Jesus. What are some “other places” people tend to go before fully trusting Him?

7. The sinful woman in Luke 7 brought her past to Jesus instead of hiding it. Why is it often so hard to bring our past, shame, or sin to Him?

8. All three examples (the crowd, the sick woman, the sinful woman) faced the same question: “To whom shall I go?” Where are you most tempted to go instead of Jesus when life gets hard?

9. The resurrection proves Jesus’ words are not just hard—but true. How does the empty tomb give you confidence in trusting Him with your life?

10. Looking at your life right now—where do you need to stop “going elsewhere” and intentionally choose to cling to Jesus this week? What is one specific step you can take?
