START HERE
(Table leaders: choose 1–2)
- What stood out to you from tonight?
- What was your gut reaction when Jesus told the woman everything about her life?
- Where have you seen someone be surprisingly kind to a person everyone else avoided?
- 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 Jesus deliberately went through Samaria instead of taking the route most people used to avoid it?
- The woman changed the subject to religion right after Jesus named the hard truth about her life. Why do you think that happens so often — with her, and with us?
- What's the difference between being exposed and being known?
- If it feels a little uncomfortable that Jesus already knew everything about her life before she said a word — that's a fair reaction. What do you make of that?
- Have you ever had someone find out something about you that you were sure would end the relationship — and it didn't?
- What about this passage is easy for you to believe... and what's harder?
- She became the reason a whole town believed, despite everything in her past. What does that tell you about who God is willing to use?
NEXT STEP
(Table leaders: choose 1 before you end)
- What's one "edited" part of your story you could stop hiding — even just from yourself, or from God?
- Is there someone you could say "come and see" to this week, without waiting to feel more qualified?
- 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?" feels small?"
