Discussion Questions for Hebrews 10:
- Read verses 19-20. What’s the “new and living way”? How does it inspire “confidence”? What does verse 20 reveal about when it began?

- Read verse 22. What do “sprinkled clean” and “washed with pure water” communicate about what Christ has already done for us?
- Read verse 23. What does it mean to “hold fast” our confession, and why is God’s faithfulness (not ours) the basis of our hope?
- Read verses 24–25. What is the purpose of gathering together? How is this different from a church-attendance “checklist” mentality?
- Read verses 26-28. What does “sinning willfully” mean here? How does “set aside” in verse 28 reveal the meaning?
- Read verse 29. What do the descriptions “trampled under foot,” “regarded as unclean,” and “insulted the Spirit of grace” reveal about the kind of rejection described here?
- Read verse 30. In the Old Testament quotation, who are “His people,” and how does that context help us understand the warning?
