The sermon this Sunday (March 9th) asks the question that God asks the prophet Ezekiel: "Can these bones live?" Ezekiel is shown a vision of a valley full of dry bones. These symbolize the people of Israel who are "dead" in their sins. They are without hope and their souls have dried up. Spiritually dead they certainly are. By God's power the bones come to life--actually it is through the breath of Spirit of God that the bones are given life. How about ourselves? Are we like dried up bones spirtually? How about our church? Where do we need new life in our church?
