Flash Forward

The theme for this Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, is, of course, the Holy Spirit. The texts for the service are Ezekiel 37:1-14 and Acts 2:1-13, and the sermon title is, "Waking Up." I love the imagery of Ezekiel 37, the valley of dry bones. I feel like many churches in the West are a valley of dry bones, and we need the blowing and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to bring life and power and health into the church.
