Rejection wounds us, sometimes deeply for a long time, but God offers freedom from rejection, how do we claim it? On this episode we search the Bible for answers and explore practical ways we can receive freedom from rejection.

SCRIPTURES

What can we say to these things? If God is for us , who can be against us? Romans 8:31

Persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed. 2 Cor 4:9

So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me? Heb 13:6

Jesus was rejected: He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. John 1:11

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6

Rejection for your faith: Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Luke 6:22
