Loneliness… Christmas music, Christmas decorations, food, cake, presents, etc...If this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, then why are people so... As we begin a new series that asks this question, today we cover the topic of loneliness. In this lesson, Pastor Ben uses Psalm 42 to give us examples of why people struggle with loneliness. Here are some key points to look at during our study: 1. Recognize that you're in a battle 2. Stop listening to yourself 3. Start talking to yourself 4. Go directly to God Loneliness comes from a lack of close personal relationships in our lives. When we connect and develop a relationship with Jesus, that's when we understand who God is in our lives; we see changes and growth that only He can provide. That's also when we see our relationships with others flourish. Are you connected to Jesus? Do you have a relationship with Him?

The Psalms are a treasure of encouragement, challenge, comfort, and grace. Join us as we explore the many dimensions of our relationship with God.

Morning Worship 1 March 20

Saints in every age have dealt with despair, depression, and dry spells; including the author of psalm 42. This psalm instructs in how to deal with these things and fight for joy.

When darkness finds us, when our soul is distressed within us, how can we rise from that dark place? How can we find a song in the night?

If Christianity is good news then why are so many Christians unhappy? If Christianity is known as the religion of Joy, then why are so many Christians depressed?  Shola explores how depression affects Christians and how to deal with it.

In this series we take an in-depth look at various topics regarding the Christian life and walking by faith

In times of discouragement we need help, and we need hope. The hope that we need is often something we have to fight for and today's message will give us some ways to do this.

Todos los cristianos lucharemos con tiempos de profunda tristeza en algún punto de la vida. ¿Somos débiles ante nuestras emociones o podemos ser victoriosos en nuestra lucha por tener gozo? Aprende qué herramientas verdaderas nos da la Biblia para ayudarte en tu vida en la lucha por gozo verdadero!

Are you discouraged today? Psalm 42 is an amazingly honest psalm about the depths of discouragement and the resolve of a steadfast faith.

For some it follows tragedy, for others it is seasonal, and still for others it is a daily struggle. Depression is like walking in the dark while not knowing where the light is or if it will come back on. This series of sermons will not make the darkness go away, but will illuminate with the glow of God’s comforting assurances.
