GROUP GUIDE
Week of April 27, 2026
Theme: Hungry for What Really Satisfies
Gathering Flow (75–90 minutes)
Table, Meal & Communion
As you begin the meal:
- Keep things relaxed and welcoming
- Make space for everyone to settle in
Gratitude (5–10 min)
Go around and share:
One thing you’re thankful for this week
Confession (5–10 min)
Gently invite reflection:
Where have you been chasing something that didn’t actually satisfy?
Where have you felt empty, restless, or distracted?
(Allow silence. Keep it simple and optional.)
Communion (5 min)
Briefly remind the group: Jesus meets us in our hunger
Take bread and cup together
Simple prayer: “Jesus, you are enough for us. Meet us here.”
Prayer (5 min)
Invite a few short, honest prayers from the group
Word & Discernment (30–40 min)
Start with prayer:
“God, help us hear you. Show us what is true.”
Read together:
John 6:24–35
(Read it slowly. Consider reading twice.)
Observe (individually, 3–5 min):
What stands out to you?
What confuses you?
What do you notice about the people? About Jesus?
Discuss together:
What do the people seem to be hungry for?
How does Jesus respond to their hunger?
What kind of “food” is Jesus actually offering?
Why do you think this is hard for people to understand or accept?
Discern:
What might God be revealing about our own hunger?
Where do we look for satisfaction that doesn’t last?
If needed, the group may briefly use Redeemer’s Custom GPT for clarity—but not to replace discussion.
Service & Care (10–15 min)
Ask:
Is anyone carrying something heavy right now? Are there needs we can meet this week?
As a group:
Pray for specific needs
Consider one small, tangible way to care for someone this week
Invitation & Mission (5–10 min)
Ask:
Who in your life might be spiritually “hungry” right now?
What would it look like to invite them into a meal or conversation?
Encourage:
One intentional invitation this week (meal, coffee, group)
