Depression is real. It can feel like living under a constant wave of trouble, powerless and overwhelmed—even when the “wave” is only half a foot tall. Proverbs 15:15 says: “For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.” Are you struggling with depression, feeling powerless, or overwhelmed by life? In this sermon, Pastor CJ from Wonder Church unpacks Proverbs 15:15 and John 1:16 to show how Jesus brings freedom, joy, and a continual feast of grace—even in seasons of sorrow. We’ll cover: Why despondency leads to bondage How sin and compromise fuel depression The difference between shame and conviction Why “authentic misery” isn’t the answer How joy is found not in circumstances, but in Christ Why the gospel is the true antidote to despair 📖 Key Scriptures: Proverbs 15:15 (NLT) John 1:16 (ESV) 🙏 Response: True freedom from depression begins with faith in Jesus. No amount of pills or counseling can fix a broken belief system that perpetuates sorrow and slavery. But in Christ, joy can be your daily feast. 🔔 Subscribe to Wonder Church for more sermons, worship, and encouragement. 🎙️ Also available on the Wonder Church Podcast (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.). 📍 Learn more about Wonder Church: www.wonderchurch.com
