When feeling rejected

Today I wasn't able to go to church, so this afternoon I sat down and listened to Adrian Warnock preach on the good news when feeling rejected. I've never listened to one of his sermons before, but let me just tell you, this one is very good. Very edifying, convicting, thought provoking.

I've enjoyed his blog, now I get to enjoy his preaching as well. One problem though, because I know he has a sense of humor, and hearing that British accent, I kept half-expecting him to break into that dry, British, humorous monologue. Isn't that horrible?

Truth is, he does inject some humor in his preaching - and the good thing is, he's actually funny. (contrary to preachers who inject humor into a sermon and the humor is either inappropriate, or so lame, you cringe for them, like a tone deaf karaoke singer, belting out a tune at a decibel level to wake the dead).

Anyway - back to how we deal with rejection - the good news in how we deal with it! The Biblical way to handle it, and the way to glorify God in it.

I won't give it away, go listen to this sermon yourself.

Thank you Adrian. I I forgive you however for quoting out of the NLT. (eek)
