Can These Bones Live? | The Rev. Art Going

A sermon on Ezekiel 37, the valley of dry bones, preached at the Easter Vigil. The Spirit carries Ezekiel into the valley, God asks whether the bones can live, and the prophet answers, "Sovereign Lord, you alone know." Fr. Art names the valleys we all know: a cold marriage, faith gone stale, grief that settled and stayed. And ours as a parish: In 2025 a leadership crisis and a resignation set us down in a valley we did not choose, and we have discovered the strength of our salvation. And the bones have begun to rattle. We still wait for Ruach, for spirit. The empty tomb is God's answer to Ezekiel's question and ours.
