The Problem of Rejection — And the Only Solution

Jan 15, 2026    Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin

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

This message takes an honest, biblical look at one of the most universal and damaging problems in life: rejection.

Using Ephesians 4:14 as the foundation, this teaching explains how believers are meant to grow beyond spiritual instability—beyond being “tossed about” by the pressures, hurts, and adversities of life—and instead become anchored through spiritual maturity and doctrine.

The message shows that:

• Rejection is a categorical problem faced by every believer

• It can come from people, circumstances, relationships, or even from hearing truth that challenges us

• Both the one being rejected and the one doing the rejecting face spiritual danger if the problem isn’t handled correctly

This study exposes the common reactions to rejection—bitterness, withdrawal, denial, projection, defensiveness, fear of failure—and explains why these reactions damage the spiritual life rather than solve the problem.

Most importantly, it emphasizes that rejection is not solved emotionally or socially—but spiritually.

God has provided problem-solving devices for every adversity in life, including rejection. When believers respond with humility, doctrine, grace, and spiritual self-esteem, rejection loses its power to fragment the soul.

The message concludes with this powerful truth:

➡️ People may reject you—but Christ never will.

➡️ Spiritual growth is the only lasting solution to rejection.

➡️ Truth is not meant to condemn—it is meant to set you free.

This is a challenging, freeing, and deeply practical teaching for anyone who has ever felt rejected, hurt, misunderstood, or destabilized by the pressures of life.

📖 “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
