Welcome and Opening Prayer
Ice-Breaker - “Rejection rejected” hat (game)
Have the ladies write a one-word feeling or source or rejection on the card and place in basket
Read each card and have ladies move close to someone with the same feeling or source
Remind them that they are not alone
let’s see what you look like when you move by election
Defining Rejection
Rejection is the act of refusing to accept or consider a person or thing that is not wanted or not approved.1
— When you experience rejection, you feel unloved, unwanted, unacceptable.
— The Greek verb apodokimazo means “to reject as the result of examination and disapproval.”2
(apo = away from, dokimazo = to approve)
— Jesus felt the pain of rejection.
The Bible refers to Christ as the “Cornerstone”—the vital, the most essential stone of a major structure—yet He was the cornerstone (or capstone) the builders rejected
To be rejected and to reject someone
To be rejected is to be cast aside, cast off, cast away—to be thrown away as having no value
To reject someone means to despise, refuse, shun, turn away from
All of us seek approval or acceptance at some level
We want to be loved, significant, accepted
The Greatest Rejection

Good news - Jesus Overcame - the Gospel
Overcoming Rejection
In the icebreaker, you moved based on their selection that best fits them
let’s see what you look like when you move by election
To reject someone means to despise, refuse, shun, turn away from
Release yourself from that feeling of rejection and remind yourself that you may be rejected by the world but chosen by God

“The Lord protects the bones of the righteous...” an elaboration of what He already said
“those who hate the righteous will be punished” prediction

Accept who God says you are and trust Him
Progression of Acceptance
Restore/re-establish in the Word of God
Isaiah 58:11
When you ROAR, you go from a wrong belief to a right belief
Wrong Belief:
“Because of being rejected, I feel so unloved … so insignificant … so unwanted.
My life isn’t worth anything!”
Right Belief:
I do not like being rejected, but I know my worth isn’t based on whether or not others reject me but on the fact that the Lord accepts me.
Jesus not only loved me enough to die for my sins, but He also lives inside me and will never leave me nor forsake me.
