Transitions 5: From Death to Life
Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14; John 11:1-7, 38-44; Romans 8:6-11
Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones helps us to understand the power of God's Spirit. We are reminded that there are no situations that are beyond all hope, and Christians are invited to see the potential of God's work among us. On this Annual Meeting Sunday, Pastor Jon attempts to help us look into the future with sanctified imagination and with vision. Instead of simply resting on past successes (or being discouraged by past failures), we are called to move forward into God's preferred future for us as individuals and as the church.
