    Before You Say Amen

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025

    Rejection can have a devastating effect upon the lives of people with scars that they will carry as they mature. In this message, we will learn how Jephthah overcame rejection and rose up to be the next Judge of Isarel.

When you reject a person, it shows him or her that he is unacceptable, of no value, doesn't belong, unwanted, can't fit in and unloved. Rejection communicates this message ...read more
