Depression – Who, What and How – Sermon Sunday, July 14

NEW Sermon Series ~ Down in the Dumps

Sermon on Sunday, July 14:

Depression – Who, What and How

I Kings 19

Depression is the epidemic that many are struggling with but few are talking about. According to the latest reports, 1 out of every 3 Americans are dealing with depression. What are the effects? How do I deal with them? Let’s see what Elijah learned about depression and what God can do about it.

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” (1 Kings 19:11-12)

At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 AM at Pender United Methodist Church

Happy Fourth of July!

04 Jul

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain.

Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied by patriotic songs such as the national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner”, “God Bless America”, “America the Beautiful”, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”, “This Land Is Your Land”, “Stars and Stripes Forever”, and, regionally, “Yankee Doodle” in northeastern states and “Dixie” in southern states. Some of the lyrics recall images of the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812.

A bit of audio for your listening pleasure, as played by Vladimir Horowitz…
