Hebrews 12:1-2a
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” (Hebrews 12:1-2a) (NLT)
John 8:1-11 (NLT)

TALK IT OVER
1. What does it mean to be set free from something, and what does it mean to be set free for something?
– How does the story in John 8 help us understand both sides of that freedom?
2. Why do you think Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dirt instead of immediately answering the accusers?
– What can we learn from His posture and response in moments of tension or confrontation?
3. How does this story challenge our ideas about judgment, mercy, and justice?
– What do you notice about the difference between how the religious leaders and Jesus treated the woman?
4. What are some ways people today still try to find freedom apart from Jesus?
– Why do those sources fail to offer true freedom?
5. If Jesus has set us free for His Kingdom, what does that mean for how we live each day?
– How can we live as people who are both forgiven and sent?
