A Note from Pastor Dave

Today I’m talking about how to get “into” and “out of” DEPRESSION . . . using 3 men of God who all wanted to kill themselves: Moses, Elijah, and Jonah! A recent survey found 70% of Pastors battle depression. Listen Calvary, the ministry is not immunity and God’s servants, whether they are in the pew or in the pulpit, are subject to depression.

God has ways to help us, so listen up today! God may be speaking to you! There is hope in Jesus — His Grace is Enough! March 8, 2020
