Divorce, relationship breakup, loss of a job, loneliness, illness, chemical imbalance, financial stress...many factors may contribute to a feeling of sadness. Many people suffer with depression at one time or another in life. Struggling with depression can feel like a lonely battle, but you are not alone! We may tell ourselves that "normal" people shouldn't be depressed. The reality is, that for whatever reason, some of us have experienced it at one time or another. Sheaves of Joy is here to help you discover hope and encouragement on the road to recovery.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. —Psalm 126:6

Sheaves of Joy begins a new 10-week series beginning June 3, 2008!
The Search for Self-Worth by Malcolm Smith
Don't miss this life-changing 10-week series beginning June 3

Feel God's Presence as Malcolm shares with you the answer to man's search for self-worth. Examine your own life in the light of God's love and watch the Holy Spirit bring about change. Titles include:
1) Believing the Lie
2) The Cost of Independence
3) Web of Denial
4) The Search for Love
5) Healing the Hurts

Malcolm gracefully shares the truth of God's Word in a way that will set you free from the cycle of seeking worth and value from another person rather than God.
