Text: Genesis 37:18-36; 39:1-2
Have you ever felt rejected? Perhaps you have felt rejected by someone you love such as a parent, a spouse, a child, or even a friend. Others have felt rejection from an employer, a certain group, or even from society as a whole. Few things in life sting as much as rejection. It can cause deep wounds, insecurities, fear, uncertainties, anxiety, anger, and bitterness - just to name a few. Joseph certainly faced his share of rejection in his life. Few of us have faced rejection to the depths that he experienced, yet, he did not allow his entire life to be defined by this rejection. Sure, it shaped his life in many ways, but he did not allow himself to live as a victim. He instead lived as a victor because he trusted in the Lord. Today, you, too, can experience the same victory if you are willing to look to God and live by faith. We invite you to listen to this message to discover how you, too, can be an overcomer.
