Overcoming Depression

In the sermon "Overcoming Depression," we delve into Psalm 77:1-20 and 1 Kings 19:2-15 to explore the emotional battles we all face. The psalmist's cry for help and Elijah's despair remind us that even the faithful can struggle deeply. We'll discuss the causes of depression, such as overwhelming stress and spiritual isolation, and how to "Father filter" our thoughts, as encouraged in Romans 12:2 and John 8:32. Practical steps to overcome depression include taking care of our physical needs, releasing frustrations to Jesus, and becoming aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence, as demonstrated in 1 Kings 19. By seeking Jesus for new direction and embracing His truth, we can find hope and renewal, as promised in Lamentations 3:21-25 and John 8:32. Join us to learn how God's steadfast love and faithfulness can lead us through the darkest valleys and into the light of His peace.
