Listen "Rejection & UMC Protocol Update"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Brad talks about feeling rejected, left out, and disappointed and how Jesus experienced the same rejection from the world.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/ZAcU8cybP8ESermon Notes:"Rejection served a vital function in our past. In our hunter/gatherer days, being ostracized from our tribes was akin to a death sentence, as we were unlikely to survive for long alone. Psychologists assume the brain developed an early warning system to alert us when we were at risk for ostracism.Those who experienced rejection as more painful (i.e., because rejection mimicked physical pain in their brain) gained an advantage—they were more likely to correct their behavior and consequently, more likely to remain in the tribe.”Jesus was rejected: Jesus faced rejection from family-John 7:5Jesus faced rejection from his community-Matthew 13: 57Jesus faced rejection from people who once claimed to love him-John 13:21 John 3:16“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
