The Healing Self
The Broken Self | Part 1
Senior Pastor Keith Stewart
September 21, 2025
We live in a world that throws away what’s broken whether it’s dishes, electronics, or people. But God is different. He seeks out the broken, treasures the shattered, and transforms our cracks into something beautiful. Like stained glass, He takes the pieces of our story and makes them shine with His glory. If you’ve ever felt discarded, unwanted, or beyond repair, this message is for you: God does His best work through broken people.
____________
1. Have you ever felt discarded, overlooked, or “broken pottery”? How did that shape the way you see yourself or others?
2. Why do you think God values brokenness when the world rejects it?
3. Which “coping style” (stuffer, pretender, firefighter, manager) do you most relate to—and what are its costs?
4. In what ways can admitting our brokenness actually open the door to healing and freedom?
5. What would it look like in your life for God to take the “shattered glass” of your story and turn it into something beautiful?
