Kalamazoo First Assembly of God
Life is full of “Jacob moments.” I like to call them “Pivot Points.” These are the moments in life that can to set you back, but through Christ, can propel you forward.
In September and October, we’ll trace Jacob’s life. We’ll look at his decisions, and we’ll see how God used each moment, each “Pivot Point,” to grow this “deceiver” into a “Prince of God.”
Genesis 29:16-18 ESV
The rejection you feel has no bearing on the acceptance that you carry.

Not everyone who embraces you wants the best for you.

Two Fundamental Elements that Drive Our Lives:
1. Approval
2. Achievement
Rejection is a moment not a life sentence.
#PivotPoint
Types of Rejection:
Jacob: Performance Rejection
Leah: Personal Rejection
Rachel: Reflective Rejection
Pain is not a tether to keep you from going where God wants you to go; It is an invitation for God's strength to enter in.

If we don’t guard our hearts, our neediness will turn to greediness.

Next Steps:
1. Frame your vision with the mercy of God.
2. Rest in God’s acceptance. Live for an audience of One.
