How to overcome rejection — the #1 relationship blocker | Susanna Bigger

2026/04/26 | Susanna Bigger

In this sermon Susanna Bigger shows how to overcome rejection — the #1 relationship blocker. Main idea: rejection steals your sense of belonging, but when you root your identity in Jesus (see 1 Samuel 16:7,11–13) God sees what others overlook and heals your wounds so relationships can flourish. Practical takeaway: acknowledge the pain, don’t believe everything those feelings say, bring the hurt to God, and take small steps of faith—stay present instead of withdrawing, speak your needs calmly, and trust God’s invitation to belong. Call to reflection/action: imagine leaving the “entrance hall” and stepping to the set table—today take one bold, small step toward the chair God has for you and let Him restore your relationships.
