"Overcoming Discouragement" is a sermon preached at the Mountain Creek Church of Christ by Gary Massey, Jr. The lesson comes from 1 Kings 19 when Elijah was so discouraged and depressed that he wanted to die. The sermon observes that God understands discouragement and loneliness, as also seen in Jesus and Paul. God is the God of Comfort and cares about people's discouragement, as can be seen by his sending an angel to Elijah, as he did to Jesus in Gethsemane and to Paul aboard the wrecking ship in Acts 27. Finally, God told Elijah that he was not alone, just as he promised that we would not be alone - as he also instructs us to encourage one another.
