Hebrews 10:19-39... Living Like You're Free

Episode Overview:
This week, Dave draws a surprising comparison between The Shawshank Redemption and the book of Hebrews. What does a wrongly imprisoned man crawling through sewage to freedom have to do with our life in Christ?

We explore the difference between being set free and living as though we are free. Some people, like Andy Dufresne, embrace freedom with joy. Others, like Brooks, struggle to adjust and stay bound by what once held them. Hebrews 10 brings this tension to life, reminding us that Jesus has made a way—but it’s up to us to walk in it.

Key Themes:

• The difference between freedom and bondage under the old vs new covenant
• Drawing near to God with sincere hearts and full assurance
• Holding onto hope and spurring one another on
• Living in the grace of Jesus without taking it for granted
• Why community, encouragement, and perseverance matter
• The reality of suffering even while walking in freedom

Challenge:
Are you living in the freedom Jesus paid for, or are you still holding onto old chains? Don’t shrink back. Live by faith. Walk confidently in the grace that’s been given to you.

Reflection:
Take time to remember the moment you first received the light. What has changed? Where are you tempted to shrink back? And how can you encourage someone else in their walk this week?

Next Week:
Get ready for Hebrews 11 with Ps Jess. It’s all about the heroes of faith—not perfect people, but those who persevered in trust.
