Sermon Discussion Questions

4.19.26
- Remade 2: Why do we need to be saved?
We all know we need to be saved or rescued from something that has to do with each of us… We just don’t know what it is about us that needs to be saved. What exactly are we saved from?

  1. “What’s really going on inside me?” - Scripture: “The heart is deceitful above all things…” — Jeremiah 17:9
    • When you honestly ask, “What do I need to be saved from?”, what rises to the surface in your life right now?
    • Where do you tend to look outward instead of inward?
    • (The issue isn’t just behavior—it’s the heart.)
  2. “Where do I feel the tension most?”
Scripture: “Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.” — James 1:14–15
  • Can you think of a recent moment where something outside of you (temptation, pressure) connected with something inside of you (desire, pride, insecurity)?
  • What did that reveal about your heart?
  • (Sin is that connection point between outside temptation and inner desire.)
3. “What has sin been doing to me?”
Scripture: “All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” — Mark 7:21–23
  • Not just what you’ve done—but how has sin affected you?
  • Have you seen it create distance from God, distort your thinking, or impact relationships?
  • (Sin isn’t just something we do—it does something to us.) 
4. “Where am I hiding?”
Scripture: “The man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God…” — Genesis 3:8
Scripture: “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper…” — Proverbs 28:13
  • Are there areas of your life you tend to keep hidden—from God or others?
  • What would it look like to bring that into the light with God and a trusted person?
  • (Sin leads to hiding; healing begins with honesty.) 
5. “What would real freedom look like?”
Scripture: “You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” — Matthew 1:21
Scripture: “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36
  • If Jesus is actively saving you from the power, result, and presence of sin… where do you most want to experience that freedom right now?
  • What’s one step you can take this week toward that?
  • (Salvation isn’t just forgiveness—it’s freedom and transformation.)
