The Healing Self
The Redeemed Self | Part 4
Senior Pastor Keith Stewart
October 12, 2025
In last week’s message, we saw how each of us is marked by the image of God that bestows on us a value, worth and dignity that should be denied us by no one. This Sunday, we’re going to see how God rescues us from the discard pile of life to make something truly beautiful out of each of us. This message is all about stepping into the freedom of knowing we are loved by God. You don’t want to miss this message.

Discussion Questions
1. Where do you notice “masquerade” in your life (outside-in pressure to perform) versus “metamorphosis” (inside-out renewal)? What would cooperating with transformation look like this week?
2. Which part of the redemption arc most encourages you today—bought, brought out, or set free—and why?
3. How has your current image of God (especially His goodness) been shaped by past wounds, and how might meditating on Jesus begin to reshape it?
4. “You move toward what you focus on.” What have you been fixating on lately, and what three signs of God’s goodness can you name from the past few days?
5. What is one practical step this week to cooperate with metamorphosis (e.g., Scripture meditation on Jesus, reframing a lie about God, or a concrete act of obedience)?
6. Jesus said those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be “filled.” What practical step could increase your hunger for God—Scripture meditation, silence, confession, or an act of obedience—and how will you start?
