Some churches might emphasize one doctrine over another doctrine, but the cardinal doctrines of the faith should be embraced by every evangelical church. we do church validates what we believe. We must be rooted in the proper doctrines. In today’s key passage of Scripture, we will read how Paul gives the church in Rome the “Ten Commandments for Doing Church.” As we learn more about these, let’s think about how we can apply them in our own lives, particularly when it comes to our involvement in church.

How To Defeat Depression In Your Life
March 19, 2023 • Dr. Curt Dodd • 1 Kings 19:1–18
As we read about Elijah in today’s key passage, we see a man of God who was used by God in an unbelievable manner. He did miracles, but now he is going through depression. He was a man of God who was used by God, yet he was suffering from depression. If God can use a depressed man, don’t you think He can also use you? Don't discount anyone just because they may struggle with emotional or mental problems. Those are the kinds of people God uses. In this message, we are going to learn from Elijah’s example and see exactly how we can defeat depression in our lives and fulfill the calling God has given us despite our struggles.
