The Problem of Rejection — Doctrine vs. Emotion

Jan 14, 2026    Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin

📖 THE PROBLEM OF REJECTION — AND GOD’S SOLUTION 📖

This message tackles one of the most common—and most destructive—pressures believers face: rejection.

Drawing from Romans 12, the teaching explains that rejection is not just an emotional experience, but a spiritual test that can either strengthen or derail a believer’s walk with God. Whether rejection comes from people, circumstances, or our own distorted perception of reality, how we respond reveals where our confidence truly rests.

You’ll learn:

The difference between being rejected and rejecting others

Why rejection often damages spiritual momentum when believers depend on people instead of God

How arrogance, insecurity, and fear distort perception and create unnecessary wounds

Why God sometimes allows rejection as a means of correction, growth, and recovery

How spiritual maturity, doctrine, and the filling of the Holy Spirit stabilize the soul under pressure

This message challenges believers to stop letting rejection define their identity, motivation, or direction—and instead to live with sound judgment, humility, and confidence rooted in their relationship with God.

➡️ Rejection doesn’t have to destroy you.

➡️ Truth can set you free—if you don’t reject it.

A powerful, eye-opening lesson on spiritual growth, personal responsibility, and learning to live beyond human approval.
