This morning we start a new sermon series looking at the topic of finding hope in the midst of the darkness of depression and anxiety. We’ll take a look at Genesis 3 and John 1 and see how sin has broken the world but Jesus provides the solution as the Greatest Light. Then following morning worship, we’ll have our quarterly fellowship meal and business meeting. We hope to see you there!

Sermon Notes
The Greatest Light ~ Genesis 3, John 1
The sermon in one sentence: The fall brought spiritual and mental darkness and despair into the world; Jesus is the greatest answer and our eternal hope.
- Two realities about despair, hopelessness, and mental illness
- Every instance of despair or mental illness is rooted in humanity’s fall into sin (Genesis 3)
- Not every instance is tied to a specific sin (John 9)
- Two pursuits in our quest for hope
- Pursue Jesus as the greatest answer (John 1)
- Pursue the help of other means you need in order to see Jesus clearly
