Man's Journey to Destiny: How to Know You're Saved - Mark Bourne

In this Memorial Day message, Evangelist Mark Bourne walks through eight key Bible passages to show how anyone can have genuine confidence in their salvation. He explains what sin really costs, and lays out the path of confession, repentance, and baptism that leads to assurance before God.Sermon Questions:1. Jesus says in Matthew 7:21-23 that some people who called him 'Lord' and did religious things will still be turned away on judgment day. What's the difference between religious activity and truly knowing Jesus — and how would you honestly assess where you stand?2. Mark used the illustration of accidentally kicking a police officer instead of a tree to explain why sin is serious regardless of how minor it feels — it's not what you did, it's who you did it to. Does that reframe how you think about your own failures? How so?3. Romans 10:9 calls for openly declaring that Jesus is Lord, and Mark described early Christians going to their workplaces to say it publicly in front of coworkers. How openly do you talk about your faith with people around you, and what makes that easy or difficult?4. The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, 'What must I do to be saved?' (Acts 16) — and they answered right then, at midnight. Is there someone in your life who might be asking that same question, even if they haven't said it out loud? What would you tell them?5. Based on everything covered in this sermon, what is one concrete step you feel you need to take this week — whether for your own relationship with God or on behalf of someone you care about — and who might that decision affect?
