Watch Pastor Joel Osteen Sermon – Stop Counting on People .
Joel Osteen delivers a powerful message about depending on God’s approval over people’s opinions. Too often, we base our value, confidence, and joy on how others treat us — whether they praise us, include us, or show respect. But people are imperfect, limited, and can change. God’s love and approval are unconditional, eternal, and unshakable.
Through personal stories, biblical examples, and practical wisdom, Joel shows why you can’t count on people for your worth and how to shake off rejection, criticism, and disappointment so you can walk boldly in your God-given purpose.
You’ll learn:
Why depending on human approval can lead to frustration and distraction
How to recognize when someone can’t or won’t give you the acceptance you want
How David overcame rejection from his family to fulfill his destiny
The danger of being like Haman — consumed by one person’s disapproval
How Paul stood strong when abandoned by close friends
Why God sometimes removes human support to grow your faith
How to root your worth in God’s unchanging love
✨ If you’ve been asking:
“How do I stop caring what people think?”
“What does the Bible say about rejection?”
“How can I focus on God’s plan when people don’t support me?”
“Why do I keep trying to win over people who don’t value me?”
…then this message is for you.
