“Dem Bones” – A Sermon for Pentecost

I was invited to preach yesterday on the Feast of Pentecost at Prairie Presbyterian Church, my family’s home congregation in Winnipeg.  The lectionary readings were Psalm 104: 24-34, 35b; Ezekiel 37: 1-14; and Acts 2:1-21.  I am still not used to preaching to a camera in a largely empty sanctuary – for that matter, hopefully I will never get used to it!  You can watch the sermon below.
