What do you do when something seems too far gone to ever come back to life? Ezekiel finds himself surrounded by dry bones when God asks him an impossible question: "Can these bones live?" It's a strange, almost frightening story. But hidden within it is one of Scripture's most beautiful visions of hope. Join us as we explore what dry bones can teach us about grief, fear, and the possibility that even our darkest endings aren't the end of the story.

This sermon is preached by our Senior Pastor, Rev. Dallas Flippin on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at McGill Baptist Church in Concord, North Carolina.

Have you ever wished you could erase something from your past? Sometimes our past has a way of haunting us. But does what we've done have to define who we become? This week we explore two mysterious stories of writing in the Bible: a terrifying message on the wall in Daniel 5 and a time when Jesus writes in the dirt when a woman is dragged before him for judgment. One story ends in condemnation. The other offers a new beginning. Join us as we explore what it means to live free from the things that haunt us.

This message is a part of our sermon series, "Can We Talk? Jesus' Wisdom for Conflict and Healing." Conflict is unavoidable. The real question is what it will make of us. In six tense encounters from Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus refuses both avoidance and overpowering others. He asks honest questions, receives pushback, names what is at stake, sets boundaries, and opens a path toward forgiveness. Join us for Can We Talk? as we discover how conflict can be more than a contest to win – it can become an opportunity for truth, healing, and deeper relationships.
