episode Basic Beliefs: Man's Journey to Destiny - Mark Bourne cover

Description

Evangelist Mark Bourne challenges the Calvinist idea that God predetermines everything—including who is saved—and instead shows from Ezekiel 18 and John 12 that God created us with genuine free will. Our choices about what we do with Jesus' gift truly matter, and on Judgment Day we will each answer for those decisions. Sermon Questions: 1. Before hearing this message, did you lean more toward believing God controls everything—including who gets saved—or that your choices genuinely matter to Him? Has anything shifted in your thinking today? 2. In Ezekiel 18, God tells Israel to stop blaming their parents for their spiritual condition—each person stands before Him on the basis of their own decisions (verses 17–20). How does that change the way you personally think about your relationship with God? 3. John 12:48 says the very words Jesus spoke will be the standard we're measured by on the last day. Knowing that, is there a specific area of your life where you've been putting off a choice you sense God is calling you to make? 4. Mark Bourne pointed out that God's invitation in Matthew 22 goes out to 'anyone and everyone willing to come.' Is there someone in your life who may not realize that invitation is genuinely open to them—and what would it look like to let them know? 5. What is one concrete decision you will make this week based on what you heard today, and who in your life might be affected by that choice?
