Description
Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | October 12, 2025
Referenced Scripture:
Romans 8:14-17a, John 1:12-13, Galatians 3:26 , 1 John 3:1a, 1 Peter 2:9a, Ephesians 1:4-5a
Reflection Questions:
1) Read Romans 8:14-17a, John 1:12-13 and Galatians 3:26 . All give us clarity as to our identity as Jesus followers. What insights stand out to you about these passages? Would you add any passages to this list? What does it mean to be a child of God?
2) Our culture teaches us to find our identity or to create our identity by achievement. Where do you see in your life or in the lives around you evidence of achievement creating or supporting identity?
3) Read 1st John 3:1, 1st Peter 2:9 and Eph 1:4-5. Each describes God's love for his children. Describe what stands out to you about God's love. Would you add other scriptures that emphasize God's love for his children?
4) As God's children what does it look like to receive his love for us? Is that something that is or was challenging for you? In what ways do you actively receive God's love?
