A Few Reminders for Sunday

Hello SLCC,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the beautiful weather God has given to us today! I just wanted to pass along a few reminders for this Sunday:

Daylight Savings. This Sunday, March 8th, officially begins daylight savings time, so please remember to set your clocks forward one hour (spring forward!) when you go to bed Saturday night!

Mini-Service at the Barnhart's. A small group of us will be heading over to Barney and Bernice's house for a mini-service with them after our morning service at the church. You are welcome to join us for the fellowship if you would like...as long as you are healthy. Thanks!

Looking forward to fellowshipping soon,

Pastor Jeff

THE BIBLIE AND THE DEPRESSION

"Then cometh Jesus with then unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples. Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." (Matthew 26,36-38)


I think depression is one of the most tragic of which passes through the soul of a person, and because it disfigures the depression self-esteem, self, a sense of transcendence, and other qualities that make man the biggest creations of God. It is an evil that seeks to dispel that image that God placed in us.
In the Bible there are cases of people like Abraham, Moses, King David, the prophet Jeremiah, the prophet Jonah, the Old Testament and New Testament in the case of the apostle Peter and Paul, and even of the Lord Jesus Christ through times of depression.
Sin however I just want to refer to the text of Matthew 26,36-46 in showing that the Lord Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane with his disciples, suffered a great depression because they experience a profound sadness and a mortal agony. The Lord Jesus looms the intense suffering that was going to experiment until his death at the hands of the Jews, so they turned to the Lord for a prayer that she can regain the strength and peace I needed to face their prueba.
Siendo that the Lord your face depression as any man and found out to them in prayer, this may be a good choice whether you are taking medications as therapy or as an act of faith to level the emotions that are found in our hectic hearts
