Join Pastor Stuart for the next lesson in our series, Dark Side of the Mind, a sermon series on dealing with the "dark emotions" (anger, anxiety, depression, envy, guilt, and shame).
In this fourth lesson, we turn to Psalms 42 & 43 as we here an encouragement to walk faithfully after God even in the midst of . . . "Our Grief & Depression".
In this lesson, we see:
- Grief, in general, and depression specifically are not sin in and of themselves.
- How we handle grief and depression and what’s underneath our grief and depression may be sin.
- We may not be able to completely control how we feel when we’re depressed, but we can address our thinking and actions.
- Jesus is the ultimate hope for depressed people.
- Therefore, you can:
- Set realistic goals.
- Allow yourself to feel sadness.
- Don’t isolate.
- Note the how’s and the why’s.
- Evaluate.
- Speak truth to yourself.
- Savor Christ.
- So, by the work of the Holy Spirit, let’s focus on Jesus and grow in managing our grief and depression well.
