 Welcome to Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Ezekiel 33:7-11 - So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel; and you are to give ear to the word of my mouth and give them news from me of their danger.  When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly overtake you; and you say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way; death will overtake that evil man in his evil-doing, but I will make you responsible for his blood.  But if you make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way for the purpose of turning hm from it, and he is not turned from his way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, but your life will be safe.  And you, son of man, say to the children of Israel, You say, Our wrongdoing and our sins are on us and we are wasting away in them; how then may we have life?  Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and his life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death O children of Israel?

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-5 - The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and placed me in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. He made me walk all around among them. I realized there were a great many bones in the valley and they were very dry. He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said to him, "Sovereign Lord, you know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them: 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.  This is what the sovereign Lord says to these bones: Look, I am about to infuse breath into you and you will live.

Subject: Can These Bones Live?

• Why does God take us to strange places? The answer is simple. This is where God wants us to be! This is what Ezekiel was faced with in the valley of dry bones.
• We need to be in the will of God because there is joy and peace in God's will.
• In the text, the bones in the valley weren't together.
• Only God knows. 
• No other power could put those bones back together but God!
• God was talking about the children of Israel who were spiritually.
• How are we responding to God's message today? Are we doers of God's Word? Are we even listening to God's Word?
• As the wind blew, the bones came to life. Ezekiel 37:7-11
• God's breath is powerful. Look to Him!
