Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: 1 Kings 20:22-27 - 22Then the prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, show yourself courageous and be aware and see what you have to do; for at [l]the turn of the year the king of Aram will march against you.”

23Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the mountains; for that reason they were stronger than we. But let us fight them in the plain, and we will certainly be stronger than they. 24Carry out this [m]plan: remove the kings, each from his place, and put governors in their place, 25and [n]muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and we will certainly be stronger than they.” And he listened to their voice and did so.

26So at [o]the turn of the year Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 27And the sons of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped opposite them like two little flocks of goats, while the Arameans filled the country.

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-4 - Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, including a detailed account of how he killed all the prophets with the sword.  Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah with this warning, "May the gods judge me severely if by this time tomorrow I do not take your life as you did theirs!"  Elijah was afraid, so he got up and fled for his life to Beer Sheba in Judah. He left his servant there, while he went a day's journey into the desert. He went and sat down under a shrub and asked the Lord to take his life: "I've had enough! Now, O Lord, take my life. After all, I'm no better than my ancestors."

Subject: Dealing With Depression

• Depression is a great concern in our world today.
• We all suffer from depression from time to time but some relish in it.
• Physically, emotional & spiritually tired are some stressors.
• As a man thinks in his heart so is he.  Proverbs 23:7
• Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
• Elijah was focused on his own feeling rather than focusing on the facts.
• Don't compare oneself to others as Elijah did.
• Taking the blame falsely instead of the person who should shoulder it.
•
