  1. When the heavens are brass • Ula 28:23 Jugalangit yang diataskepalamuakanmenjaditembagadantanah yang dibawahpunmenjadibesi. • 2 Taw 7:14 danumat-Ku, yang atasnyanama-Ku disebut, merendahkandiri, berdoadanmencariwajah-Ku, laluberbalikdarijalan-jalannya yang jahat, makaAkuakanmendengardarisorgadanmengampunidosamereka, sertamemulihkannegerimereka.

  2. What about “My people”? • Yeh 37:1 Lalukekuasaan TUHAN meliputiakudanIamembawaakukeluardenganperantaraanRoh-Nyadanmenempatkanakuditengah-tengahlembah, danlembahinipenuhdengantulang-tulang. 2Ia membawaakumelihattulang-tulangituberkeliling-kelilingdansungguh, amatbanyakbertaburandilembahitu; lihat, tulang-tulangituamatkering. 3Lalu Iaberfirmankepadaku: "Haianakmanusia, dapatkahtulang-tulanginidihidupkankembali?"

  4. Dry Bones • The bones are very dry: • Structure is still there, but life is no more • We may still do all the “right things” but lost the passion of fellowship with God, the fire of worship, the deep love and devotion, the eagerness to serve and sacrifice • Without the protection of a life abiding in God, the bones dry quickly under the elements, sun and wind • Modern life takes its toll: 9-5 drudgery, relentless pressure from the world’s philosophies…

  5. Dry Bones • We become dry bones when: • We want stirrings without change • We want good doctrine without compliance • Philippians 4:9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. • We want it told like it is, but live like it isn't; • We want Salvation, but not give it all in our witness • We want to be God’s special people, but live like the world

  6. Dry Bones • We become dry bones when: • We want to experience without commitment: • A. Committed Hands to Work in the Vineyard. • B. Committed Hearts to Worship in Victory. • C. Committed Home to live the Way of Christ; a vital part. • We want to be blessed without being a blessing • We want to be spectators and not partakers

  7. What must we do? • Maz 51:16,17, SebabEngkautidakberkenankepadakorbansembelihan; sekiranyakupersembahkankorbanbakaran, Engkautidakmenyukainya. 19Korban sembelih-an kepada Allah ialahjiwa yang hancur; hati yang patahdanremuktidakakanKaupandanghina, ya Allah. • Neh 9:1 Padahari yang keduapuluhempatbulanituberkumpullahorang Israel danberpuasadenganmengenakankainkabungdandengantanahdikepala. 2Keturunan orang Israel memisahkandiridarisemuaorangasing, laluberdiriditempatnyadanmengakudosamerekadankesalahannenekmoyangmereka.
