Dry Bones

Today was great. New faces again, we used a song from the Planetshakers DVD on the new projector.

Tarn had a picture during the worship of a dry pot plant. The soil was cracked and dried, any water that you poured on it would jyst flow through the cracks and no water would get to the plant. The only way of getting the water to the plant was plunging it into a bucket of water. The pot would bubble as the water floods into every dry gap in the soil. Tarn felt that God was saying for some people here today that God wanted to plunge you into his living water and bring life.

This amazingly lead into our guest speakers (Brenton) word, that was focussed around the passage in Ezekiel 37 that speaks about the Dry Bones.
2He led me around among the old, dry bones that covered the valley floor.
They were scattered everywhere across the ground.
3Then he asked me, "Son of man, can these bones become living people again?"
"O Sovereign LORD," I replied, "you alone know the answer to that."
4Then he said to me, "Speak to these bones and say, `Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD!
5This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again!

In our modern day lives we so easily burn out, we become dry and die to hopes and dreams. We can become disillusioned with our lives, our faith etc.

Brenton described that in our modern culture people are now not only suffering mid life crisis but a quarterlife crisis. 20 somethings hitting a stage where they have got all the toys they can and earning good dollars, and are asking where is the meaning?

We need to let God speak into our lives and then he will breath life into our dry bones and plunge us into his living water, then we will experience REAL LIFE!
