    Knowing Jesus: I Am a Child of God

    Rooting our identity in Christ, rather than in achievement or tradition, offers the only pathway to true freedom. Pastor Rob Godard John 8:39-59 May 24, 2026 Cloverdale Baptist Church www.cloverdalebaptist.ca Growth Group NotesKnowing Jesus: I Am A Child of GodJohn 8:39–59Finding Your Identity in Christ Icebreaker Question Where do people most commonly look for identity and worth today? Why do those things ultimately fail to satisfy? IntroductionOur culture is obsessed with identity. People search for meaning and worth through: successappearancerelationshipsfeelingssexualityaccomplishmentssocial approvalAnd yet many are left saying: “I just don’t know who I am anymore.” In John 8, Jesus confronts a group of religious leaders who also found their identity in the wrong place. They trusted in: heritagereligionmoralitytraditionBut Jesus exposes the emptiness of those foundations and reveals where true identity is found: In Him.This passage teaches us: the right place to find identitythe right person to trustand the right pathway to followRead John 8:39–59True identity and freedom are found only through faith in Jesus Christ—the eternal Son of God—and lived out through loving obedience to Him. 1. The Right Place: Faith (vv. 39–41)The Pharisees believed their identity was secure because: they were descendants of Abrahamreligiousmoraloutwardly devotedBut Jesus says: “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did.” (v. 39) Abraham’s defining characteristic was not family heritage—it was faith. Your identity is not ultimately found in:your backgroundyour familyyour accomplishmentsyour moralityyour feelingsIt is found through: faith in Jesus Christ.Discussion QuestionsWhat are some common places people look for identity today?Why is heritage or morality alone not enough?What does it practically mean to place your identity in Christ?Why do false identities eventually collapse under pressure?Augustine wrote: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” What “broken cisterns” are you tempted to draw identity or satisfaction from instead of Christ? 2. The Right Person: Fully God (vv. 42–47; 56–58)Jesus tells them: “If God were your Father, you would love me.” (v. 42) This is one of the clearest signs of genuine salvation: a growing love for Jesus Christ.Not merely: religious activityintellectual agreementchurch attendanceBut genuine affection and submission to Him. Jesus Reveals Who He Is“Before Abraham was, I AM.” (v. 58) Jesus claims: eternal existenceequality with Goddivine authorityHe is not merely a teacher. He is: the great I AM.Your identity will only hold if it is anchored in the true Jesus: fully Godfully Saviorfully worthy of worship and obedienceDiscussion QuestionsWhy is loving Jesus different than merely believing God exists?What does Jesus mean when He says, “I AM”?Why is our view of Jesus so important to identity?What are some false ideas about Jesus people believe today?Tim Keller said: “If your god never disagrees with you, you may be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.” Are there areas where you resist or redefine Jesus instead of submitting to Him? 3. The Right Pathway: Follow Him (vv. 44–47)Jesus now shows that identity is revealed through direction and obedience. The Pharisees rejected: truthGod’s Wordand ultimately Jesus HimselfJesus makes it clear: “Whoever is of God hears the words of God.” (v. 47) To identify with Jesus means: hearing His Wordloving His truthpursuing holinessand following Him dailyFaith is not passive agreement. It is: active surrender to Christ.Discussion QuestionsWhy is neutrality toward Jesus impossible?How does obedience reveal what we truly love?What are some false worldviews Christians are tempted to adopt today?How does following Jesus lead to real freedom?Jesus does not merely improve your identity— He gives you a completely new one IN CHRIST. In Christ:you are forgivenadoptedlovedsecureand freeWhere are you finding your identity right now? The only pathway to freedom is to have your identity IN CHRIST and more and more growing IN that reality. “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Prayer FocusSpend time praying: thanking Jesus for your identity in Himconfessing false places you seek worth or securityasking God to deepen your love for Christ and His WordOther Requests:

    Grace That Gives: Gospel-Shaped Stewardship

    In 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 we see how resting in God's grace turns our fear into joyful, purposeful generosity. We are often prone to treat our time and resources as our own, but the gospel reminds us that we were bought with a price and belong wholly to God. Pastor Rob Godard 2 Corinthians 9:6-15  April 19, 2026

    The Purchased Person

    In a world obsessed with personal autonomy, we often forget that as followers of Christ, we are not our own. Here we'll explore 1 Corinthians 6:18-19 to discover the freedom and joy found in being "bought with a price" and living for the glory of the One who owns us. Pastor Rob Godard 1 Corinthians 6:18-19 April 12, 2026
