Ezekiel 37:1-14 | Have you ever cut off a dry branch from a tree? Or, seen a dead plant that didn’t make it through the winter? There comes a point when something is beyond hope for revival. Death, whether we like it or not, surrounds us. And yet, in our last week before entering Holy Week, we witness the power of God’s Spirit bringing life to that which was once dead. Join us as we acknowledge our own weakness, and as we seek the hope of Christ that will stir in us and sustain us.
