Dropping Off Depression

Thought I'd post some action points from today's message called "Dropping Off Depression" the first message in our Baggage series. These are from 2 Corinthians 4:13-18.

1. Speak the truth of God’s Word- v.13-15
“Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ‘I believed, and so I spoke,’ we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.”

2. Be spiritually renewed daily- v.16
"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day."

3. Focus on eternal realities- v.17-18
“For this slight and momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”
