How to Rise Above Discouragement and Depression

Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Jan 28, 2024

Bible text: 1 Kings 19


A few great men who faced depression:

“I am the subject of depression of spirit so fearful that I hope none of
you ever get to such extremes of wretchedness as I go to…personally 
have passed through this dark valley of depression.” – Charles Spurgeon

“For more than a week I was close to the gates of death and hell. I
trembled in all my members. Christ was wholly lost. I was shaken by the
desperation of God.” – Martin Luther

“Lord Jesus receive my spirit and put an end to this miserable
life.” – John Knox
