ROOTS - Week 03 - Rejecting Rejection

Show Notes

If you have a fruit problem you have a root problem.  

Some of the deepest wounds in our lives often come from rejection.  

The enemy of your life works in isolation

Because our greatest desire is love, our greatest fear is rejection.

We’re All Born with a Rejected Conscience

Isaiah 59:2

Proverbs 29:25 

You cannot be worried about being what everybody else wants you to be and focus on who God created you to be at the same time. 

1 Thessalonians 2:4 

Even God can’t please everyone!

I don’t need everyone’s approval to be happy!

Happiness is a choice not a result

John 5:41 

I Have Been Accepted By God Through Jesus

If we are going to win against the fruit of rejection, we have to be rooted in our acceptance in Jesus. 

Ephesians 13:3-6

Ephesians 13:4 

Titus 3:7 

Quit chasing approval and start living from it!

As a Christian we are not living for approval, we are living from approval.

Hebrews 12:2 

Jesus’ eyes weren’t fixed on His rejection, they were fixed on you!

Fix your eyes on Jesus!

What is New Song Church OKC?

New Song Church Exists To Help People Know God. Many people today know about God, but they don’t know Him in the personal way He can and wants to be known. He feels distant and more like a historical figure than a close friend. At New Song we desire to connect real people with a real God, the real Jesus, and the real Holy Spirit in a way that creates real life change.Come find your place this weekend at New Song Church.newsongpeople.com
