May is Mental Health Awareness month. We need to break the stigma in the church. This week, we want to focus on spreading acceptance and support for the people we know and love who are experiencing mental health challenges. It's a false assumption that a Christian is always “happy”. A Christian can struggle with anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and yet have the joy of the Lord.

For example, the famous British preacher, Charles Spurgeon, considered the Prince of Preaching, battled throughout his life with depression. Spurgeon's sermons are saturated with Christ and dripping with the Gospel. No one would say that Spurgeon was depressed because he didn't have enough faith in Jesus. We do our fellow brothers and sisters who have mental health struggle a disservice by implying to them that they don't have enough faith.

When it comes to mental health, small actions equal big impact (send a text, make a phone call, send a card, etc.). If you are worried about your mental health or are worried about someone you know, there are resources and people out there and in this church who are willing to help, no matter what your situation is.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
