TABLE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
START HERE
(Table leaders: choose 1–2)
- What stood out to you from tonight?
- What was your gut reaction when you heard that Jesus's first miracle was about wine at a wedding, not something more "spiritual"?
- Where have you seen someone show up for something small that turned out to matter a lot?
- What's something from this passage you'd want to know more about?
GO DEEPER
(Table leaders: choose 1–2 if time allows)
- Why do you think John chose to tell us this story — a wedding, wine, an embarrassing shortage — as Jesus's very first public sign?
- The servants just filled jars with water — no special skill, no visible miracle in the moment. What do you think ordinary obedience looks like in your own life right now?
- What do you make of Jesus filling the old purification jars specifically, instead of using something new?
- What's the difference between bringing God your emergencies and actually trusting him with your everyday life?
- Has there ever been a time you decided something was "too small" to pray about? What made you decide that?
- What about this passage is easy for you to believe... and what's harder?
- Mary told the servants, "do whatever he tells you," without knowing what Jesus would actually do. What do you think that kind of trust looks like in your own life right now?
NEXT STEP
(Table leaders: choose 1 before you end)
- What's one "too small to mention" thing in your life you could actually bring to God this week?
- Where might you be treating God like a last resort instead of trusting him with the ordinary stuff?
- Is there anything from tonight you want to keep thinking about this week?
Optional: "Before you leave, is there anything your table can pray with you about — even something that feels small?"
