Detox | Part 1: Reflect

In the opening message of the Detox series, Pastor Hazen Stevens reminds us that lasting transformation begins with honest reflection. Just as contaminated water or nutrient-deficient food can quietly affect our physical health, hidden sin and neglected spiritual disciplines can slowly weaken our souls. Before God changes us, He first invites us to see clearly.

Drawing from Psalm 139 and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7, this message challenges us to stop focusing on others and invite God to search our own hearts. Reflection isn't about condemnation—it's about allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal what is toxic, what is missing, and where true healing can begin.

Key Scriptures:
Psalm 139:23–24, Matthew 7:3–5

Main Points:

1. Lasting change begins with honest reflection before God

2. Only God can reveal the hidden areas we've become blind to

3. We must address the beam in our own eye before focusing on others

4. Spiritual health requires identifying both what is toxic and what is missing

5. Reflection asks two questions: What needs to be removed? What needs to be restored?

6. Awareness is the first step toward transformation
