In this week's sermon, Kyle Hess  teaches on the topic of depression through sharing personal experiences and insights, with a focus on breaking the chains of depression through spiritual and emotional healing. He addressed the impact of childhood trauma on mental health, emphasizing the spiritual battle involved in overcoming depression. Through the "3 chains of depression" - fear, guilt, and anger - he provided practical examples and referenced relevant biblical verses to guide the congregation in addressing these emotional burdens. Additionally, Hess stressed the importance of seeking help, connecting with others, and embracing forgiveness as essential steps in coping with depression. The audience was called to accept Jesus's forgiveness and to find the courage to address longstanding issues in the presence of God.
