Point 1: The Vision (Ezekiel 37:1-3) Point 2: The Prophecy (Ezekiel 37:4-6) Point 3: The Prophesying (Ezekiel 37:7-8) Point 4: The Second Prophecy (Ezekiel 37:9-10) Point 5: The Interpretation (Ezekiel 37:11-13) Point 6: The Result (Ezekiel 37:14) The sermon explores Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones to illustrate God's power to restore hope and life to a people who feel spiritually dead and hopeless. It highlights the historical context of Israel's exile, where national despair mirrored physical death, yet God commands the prophet to speak His word to bring about miraculous reconstruction. The message emphasizes that true vitality comes not from external structure but from the breath of the Spirit, which transforms lifeless forms into a living army for God. By connecting this ancient prophecy to the believer's experience of feeling like an exile in a hostile world, the text offers comfort and assurance of future resurrection and restoration. Ultimately, the central theme is that God alone can breathe life into impossible situations, proving His sovereignty and identity to those who trust in Him.

This sermon explores the doctrine of eternal security by examining Jesus' declaration as the Good Shepherd in John 10. The speaker contrasts worldly anxieties about safety with the absolute spiritual assurance that believers shall never perish. A central theme is the danger of self-deception, warning that mere religious activity does not guarantee salvation. To verify genuine faith, four criteria are presented: believing in Jesus, listening to His voice, knowing Him intimately, and following His lead. The message concludes with a pastoral call to ensure one's hope rests on Christ alone rather than superficial religious habits.

To live in God's light is to face the reality of our sin and run to Christ.

Jesus, our Savior, suffered on the cross for our salvation and every true disciple must follow Him on the path of the cross.

This week we continue our study through the book of Romans by exploring the often-overlooked work of the Holy Spirit throughout the gospel. From inspiring the Scriptures, to the virgin birth of Christ, to His resurrection, to the believer's new life and future resurrection, the Holy Spirit is active in every stage of God's plan of redemption. Join us as we discover how the Spirit not only reveals Christ but also applies His saving work to His people, assuring us that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Be encouraged by the certainty of your salvation, the hope of future glory, and the power of the Spirit who dwells within every believer.

Romans 8:26-28 1. God's Promise 2. Our Love 3. God's Purpose 4. Our Confidence

Genesis 48:14 records that Israel (Jacob) crossed his hands when he blessed Ephraim and Manasseh, blessing the younger over the older. Sometimes God directs our lives in a different way than we think, but if we always follow God's directions, our lives will be as God directs, not as we direct. Albert Sims wrote the public domain song, The Unseen Hand, in 1918 when he was 34 years old. Albert Sims was licensed to preach the gospel in 1925 at the age of 41 years old. He died in 1969 at the age of 85. In the song, Albert Sims speaks about how God has his hand on him, leading him, guiding him, and assuring him that as he lives in this troubled world, God will continue to lead him all the way to heaven's door, then he will be led through heaven's door into eternity. God will also lead us the same way he led thousands of Old Testament and New Testament believers through this evil land, causing us to finally rest eternally with him.

The sermon delivers a message of encouragement and bold faith to believers facing adversity, drawing primarily from Isaiah 41. The preacher emphasizes that God commands His people not to fear because He promises constant presence, help, and ultimate victory. Central to this teaching is the metaphor of humanity as weak and helpless worms, highlighting human depravity and total dependence on divine grace. Despite this lowly status, believers are assured of their identity as chosen children of Jacob, supported by the Triune God who upholds them through trials. The message concludes with a call to holy boldness in witnessing and trusting in God's provision rather than human strength.

Only through faith in Jesus Christ are we given the restful assurance of our entrance into glory, a restored communion with God, and life everlasting. I. What is Meant by God's Rest? II. Why Does a Promise of Rest Remain? II. How do God's People Enter that Rest?
