Sermons About Distant
The Promise and Presence
Where is God? Why can’t I find Him? Does He care about my life or condition? Does He know what I am going through? Does He know what his people are going through? Why is it that He seems so distant? These are the questions we ask from time to time. Is He far off? As many of us read through the Bible in 90 Days scripture has a stunning response to our questions. Today in the Word we will continue to explore some of the large and unifying themes of the Bible. If you missed some of the previous messages, you can get a CD in the narthex after the service or on our website.

Waking up Dry Bones
WAKING THE DEAD “Waking up Dry Bones†Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-16 The background, context and setting of Ezekiel’s vision: (Vs.1-10) Three clues that the church needs revival: (Vs. 11) 1. We are spiritually dry 2. We feel hopeless in our present situation 3. God seems distant Five conditions that bring revival: (Vs. 12-14) 1. God cares about spiritual dryness and moves on our behalf. 2. God calls for a proclamation (hinnabe) of the WORD to confront the dryness. 3. The proclaimed WORD wakes the dead and creates new life. 4. God restores back to us what was stolen, killed and destroyed. (We are in a war) 5. God backs the preached WORD with a powerful demostration of His Spirit. God’s thrill with revival! (Vs. 14) THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN, AND I HAVE DONE IT, DECLARES THE LORD
