Sermon Notes for 12/7/2025

TITLE: Peace for the Dry Bones

SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 37:1-14

When hope begins to dry up, God’s peace offers renewal.

Led Through the Valley (1-3)

• Ezekiel passed among the dry bones…
• This vision forces the people of God to acknowledge their valleys/failures/sin

God’s Powerful Word (4-8)

• Speak to the dry, lifeless bones…
• There might be times in our lives when God asks us to do something, and it seems foolish. But if God is in it, a powerful moment will follow.

God’s Powerful Spirit (9-10)

• Speak to the Holy Spirit
• Hebrew (OT) - ruach
• Greek (NT) - pneuma
• All living creatures owe the breath of life to the creative Spirit of God!
• Revival, renewal, and transformation depend on the Spirit’s breath, not human ability.

God’s Powerful Promise (11-14)

• The bones represent the entire house of Israel; the condition of the bones describes them
• God makes a promise - I WILL …

God’s Powerful Peace

• Peace is not the absence of struggle… it’s the presence of God's breath in our valleys.
• John 20, Jesus says, “‘Peace be with you.’ And He breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’”
