Summary/Notes:

In his sermon "Broken Spirits and Dry Bones," Pastor Kelley delves into the significance of spiritual health and how a broken spirit can lead to a sense of lifelessness, despite physical health. Drawing from Proverbs 17:22 and Ezekiel 37, he emphasizes how the spirit within us is the driving force for our daily lives, and when that spirit is broken—whether by trials, circumstances, or personal failings—it can "dry up the bones," leaving us spiritually paralyzed.

However, Pastor emphasizes that God offers hope, even for the driest of bones. Just as God breathed life into Adam, He can breathe life into our brokenness, restoring vitality and purpose. Kelley relates this to Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones, where the Spirit of God reassembled and resurrected lifeless bones, symbolizing that no matter how spiritually dead we may feel, God’s Word and Spirit can revive us.

Pastor Kelley uses this analogy to encourage us that, although we may feel defeated, it’s never too late for a spiritual resurrection. He acknowledges the real pain that causes broken spirits but reassures the church that through God’s breath of life, the dead areas of our lives can be revived, offering hope, restoration, and a return to fullness in Christ. 

His closing call is for the congregation to let go of their past hurts, accept God’s Word, and invite His Spirit to breathe new life into their spirit.
