Sermon Theme: “The spirit of God gives me new life”
Bible Memory Verse: I will...give you a new heart and a desire to be faithful. -Ezekiel 36:26
Scripture: Ezekiel and the dry bones -Ezekiel 36:17-18, 22; 37:1-14
Message Summary: This bible story take place in the country of Babylon. The Israelites were living in Babylon because they had been defeated by the Babylonian army and taken away as slaves. They had lost almost everything- their homes, freedom, their country, many of their friends and relatives, and their place to worship God. Even though they were still alive, in a sense they were "dead" because of all that had happened to them.
God spoke to a prophet named Ezekiel and told him why the Israelites were in such terrible situation. They made the land unclean by the way they behaved. The Israelites behavior showed they were spiritually dead. They committed murder, they worshiped idols.
Dry bones representing the Israelites spiritual dryness. The way they are behaving. God promised that his spirit would give life back to the Israelites, so His spirit will give us life if we let him.
