New Life For Dry Bones

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 2, 2017

As God brought new life and hope to the dry bones scattered across Ezekiel's valley, God can do the same for us. When there seems to be no way forward, God knows our future. And as we trust him, we get to know God better in the process.

Sermon # 51 - Obedience God Desires Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 16, 2025

Joseph and Mary are great examples of ones who implicitly obeyed God, and thereby were instrumental in being channels to bring forth and raise Jesus, the Son of God. Are we willing to obey God, despite not having logical reasons to do so and even when it is hard to do so?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” (ESV) The prophet Samuel spoke these ...read more
