Everyone at times suffers from depression. Depression is a very deep emotional experience. Usually people who suffer from depression can become very negative and feel very negative all of the time. Sometimes depression comes from emotional distress or a serious loss in our life. Often when we suffer from depression we feel very alone and depression feeds the feeling of loneliness until a person cannot seem to get out of the state of depression. In this sermon Gary Petty talks about physical depression and how depression can become a spiritual problem.
