About this episode
This episode explores the theme of joy in the Christian life, addressing the causes and cures of spiritual depression through the lens of Psalms 42 and 43.
Part 1 - Spiritual Depression - Our Fight for Joy - "Spiritual Depression" For the next few weeks we are going to be exploring the theme of Joy on Sunday mornings at Grace Church Southall (www.gcsouthall.org.uk) I have been reading the book "Spiritual Depression" written by late Dr Martin Llyod Jones to understand the cause of spiritual joylessness and how to rediscover the joy of the Christian life. I have prayerfully selected a few chapters to tackle the issue at hand. Because I have found (even in my own life) at times a lack of joy among christians. What are the cause and cures of our lack of joy? We explore Psalm 42 and 43 today. Psalm 42:11 - "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God."
