19 June 2022 “Beyond Despair.” - Rev. Johnson Makoti
Channel: Atherton Uniting Church
Date: 2022-06-19

Reading:  Psalm 42 and 43; Luke 8 : 26 - 39.

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?” 3 times these questions are posed in Psalm Ch 42 & 43. We have all asked in the midst of despair, death, etc, ‘Where are you God?’ The 2 chapters of the Psalm were written by David and explores his depths of depression & how he managed to find a way out of it. Admission of our condition & looking for hope are the keys to our way out, as it was for the demonic-possessed man in Luke. Watch & listen as the Reverend Johnson Makoti expounds to us on despair & how we can move on from the condition of depression in our lives as written in the scriptures.
