Theme: God is at Work in the Rejection you Experience

One: Why rejected?

• Rejected, through no fault of your own
• Rejected, because of another's sin
• Rejected, due to your belief in God's plan

Two: The Pain of Rejection

• Rejection may not be wanted.
• Rejection may not be understood.

Three: Rejection in the Gospel Story

• John 1:11 - his own people did not receive him
• Isaiah 53:3 - he was despised and rejected by men

Four: How is God at work in rejection?

• God is loving you with full acceptance.
• God is weaning you from the desire for man's approval.
• God is calling you to believe that he is enough.
• God is shaping you to be more like Christ.
