Saints, Sorrows, and the Psalms

It happens to us all—we believe with certainty in the hope we have in Jesus. But there are times in our lives when we wonder about that hope. Our circumstances may deteriorate, or we fall into a kind of spiritual apathy, wondering if we should even get out of bed. Earlier Christians called this the sin of sloth or the listless condition of acedia. How do we respond to such a condition? In addition to the fall sermon series Who Cares?, our Fall Lecture Series will explore how some prominent Christians turned to the Psalms for help and comfort during such times. We will begin on October 9 with a potluck dinner, worship led by the Youth Praise Team, and a presentation by Brandi Walters, a member of our Christian Counseling Coalition. Brandi will help us distinguish between this spiritual condition and clinical depression.
