Pastor Killam reads from Ezekiel 37:1-10 as he examines zombie churches. 

There are zombie churches everywhere. Soulless churches where dull persons feast. Where legitimate life has vanished, and in its place is something …scary. Lifeless. Jesus is the origin of life. When we get disconnected from Jesus and what he is doing in the world around us, we become detached from life. Just because a church loses its connection doesn’t mean it closes its doors. Think of zombie churches as churches that are contaminated. They are contagious. Instead of offering people a real, reconstructed relationship with the Creator of the universe, they bring hollow rituals and pointless routines. All the motions seem right, but something is missing.  Pastor Killam calls on us to transform not just our relationship with Christ but to reconstruct our church.  Update: Audio quality enhanced with new hardware.
