Session 1
Out of the House of Bondage
The great liberation. The cry, the Passover, the exodus, and the Jubilee proclamation of liberty. Independence Day lands on deror, the word cast onto the Liberty Bell.

What It Means to Be Truly Free
Ask most of us what freedom is and we reach for the absence of rules. Do what I want, answer to no one. Scripture means something deeper and stranger. Freedom is being bought out of a slavery you could not escape, walked out through a door Someone else opened, and set down in a wide, open place where you can finally breathe. July walks thirty-one Hebrew and Greek words from the cry under Egypt to the title a freed slave carries for life: the Lord's freedman.
You were not let off. You were bought back. The record of debt with your name on it was not reduced, it was nailed to a cross. The yoke was not loosened a notch, it was broken in half. And the freedom you were handed is not a license to serve yourself. It is room to love.

Sessions
Each session is designed for 45-60 minutes of group or individual study. Hebrew and Greek words below link to their full library pages where they exist.
Session 2
Freedom Was Bought
Freedom is not free. The ransom paid, the servant sent out full, the bent and the bound set loose, the one drawn up out of the trench.
Session 3
Free From the Old Master
The interior of the gospel. No condemnation, the debt-record nailed down, the broken yoke, the broken snare, the pit, the fear of death, and the plain word: free indeed.
Session 4
Free Into the Open
Freedom is not only out of something, it is into something. The broad place, the resting place, God's own rest, the relief, the breathing room, the open door no one can shut.
Session 5
Free For Love
The point of freedom. Spent on the family, poured out willingly, and capped by the title a freed slave carries for life: the Lord's freedman.
Session 6
Bringing It Together
Integration session. One arc: out of bondage, bought back, freed from the old master, set in the open, and free for love.
