Small Group Questions:

1. Initial Reactions: What stood out to you the most about the resurrection account in Mark 16:1-8? Was there anything surprising or challenging?
2. Reactions to the Resurrection: The women came to the tomb expecting to find Jesus’ body, but instead found it empty. How do we respond when God doesn’t act according to our expectations?  
3. Seeing God at Work: The resurrection (and the reactions of Jesus' first followers) reminds us that God is working even in unexpected ways. How have you seen God working in your life recently, especially in surprising or unexpected ways? 
4. Responding to the Good News: The angel instructed the women to “go and tell” that Jesus had risen. In what ways is God calling you to "go and tell" others about the Good News? What are some practical ways to do this in your daily life?
