Dear FPCLA,
I am excited to announce that we have a guest preacher for Sunday’s worship. Pastor Michael Campos is a friend from the GTU days, and we randomly bounced into each other at the PAAC conference several years ago. He is a kind and compassionate person with a wealth of knowledge and an amazing teacher. Currently, he is in the Philippines taking care of his family.
Sermon: Coming home. At the edge of diaspora.
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-6
The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3 He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breathto enter you, and you shall live. 6 I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Blessings,
Pastor Sam
