2: How to overcome depression | Suitcase

We're in our summer series of messages called Suitcase where we are looking at some of the baggage and burdens we carry in our lives. If we let him, God will lighten our loads, but how? That's what this message series is all about. This morning we  going to look at how to overcome depression. Depression is the number one health problem in the world. Everybody gets depressed from time to time. Even great Christians get depressed. Elijah was such an example. Elijah was a tremendous spokesman for God. For years, he had been God's mouthpiece to the nation of Israel. But Elijah was a prime candidate for depression. Elijah got depressed because he played four mental games that everyone of us play when we get depressed.

In the message we look at Elijah and see why he got depressed, and then how God cured it. God had a remedy for Elijah's depression and it's the same remedy for our depression today.
