Reflections: September 5, 2010


Road TripThis week’s “Reflection” by Gary Keith, Executive & Teaching Pastor

Feel Like Quitting?
Acts 18

We learned this week that even the bold and confident Apostle Paul experienced discouragement and even depression as he entered the city of Corinth. Today more than 17 million Americans have been diagnosed with serious depression and there are countless others who live daily in a haze of disillusionment. The Christian community is not immune – Christians also experience discouragement and depression.

Acts 18 reveals to us how God provided for Paul during his time of weakness. If you live with or deal with depression, how does your Christian life become a place of hope? How have you seen God provide for you during times of discouragement? Let’s talk and help one another out. God helped Paul by providing friends, by providing for his physical needs, and by speaking encouraging words. Have you seen God do this for you? Did it help?
