Online messages: Facing Depression?

West Los Angeles Holiness Church is now making Sunday messages available online.  The link may be found here.


One of my recent messages dealt with the subject of clinical depression.  I began the message with these thoughts:


Believe it or not, like it or not, depression is a common experience among Christians.  It may seem like a contradiction.  We ask how it can be that someone who has received Jesus Christ and who has access to the power of God can be depressed?  There are those who would even say that it is evidence of sin in that person’s life.

While that may sound like a reasonable thing to say, it does not stand the test of scripture, of personal experience or the truths of psychology. 

This morning, our scripture lesson is from 2 Corinthians 7:5-7.  

If depression is something you might be facing, take a moment to listen.
