Finding Encouragement in the Lord

We all know what it’s like to feel discouraged. Like a grey fog, discouragement can settle over our lives and empty us of the energy we need to keep following Jesus. The antidote for discouragement is encouragement. But where do we find the encouragement we need to face life with joy and confidence? How do we respond when life becomes difficult and discouragement sets in? In 1 Samuel 30 we’ll see how David, the future king of Israel, handled a terrible situation that had the potential to totally overwhelm him with discouragement.  (transcript only; recording not available)
