“Can These Bones Live?”

Aug 30, 2026    Pastor Earl Dunn

What happens when life strips everything away and leaves us feeling like nothing more than dry, scattered bones in a forgotten valley? That is exactly the image God placed before the prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37, and it is a picture that speaks directly into our own moments of spiritual exhaustion and lost hope. This message confronts us with one of the most penetrating questions in all of Scripture: can these bones live? It is a question that does not just belong to ancient Israel. It belongs to every one of us who has ever felt the distance between who we once were in our faith and who we are today. The sermon walks us through three powerful pathways back to spiritual life. First, revival comes through hearing God's Word. Using the vivid account of the feeding of the five thousand in Mark 6, we are shown the image of worn paths through green grass, all leading back to Jesus, challenging us to ask whether our own lives bear that kind of consistent, visible trail back to Him. Second, revival comes through God's breath, the very Spirit of God that animated Adam, empowered judges and prophets, and now lives inside every believer. There is no reason for us to remain dry when the breath of God dwells within us. Third, and perhaps most urgently, revival comes when we stand together as one army. The bones in Ezekiel's valley did not rise one at a time. They came together, and so must we.
