Jesus I Have My Doubts – Week 3 | Depression
from Thrive Community Church · host John Roth
Sunday smiles can mask a long, quiet ache: feeling abandoned by God, shunned by friends, or trapped in a fog that won’t lift. This message zeroes in on a raw biblical voice—Heman’s Psalm 88—and the honest tension between outward faith and inward darkness. It names how congregational pep can sometimes silence grief, and why depression can feel like God’s absence rather than his discipline. The sermon refuses quick answers and instead walks through four clear moves: that believers can live in long darkness, that suffering teaches God’s grace, that it strips away a shallow faith, and that darkness is not the final word. You’ll hear grief given language, community urged over isolation, and hope rooted not in feelings but in a God who entered the dark first—inviting a different kind of courage and tenderness into how we live and pray. What it feels like to find a light that refuses to leave.
