"Telling It Again" Acts 2: 1-21; Ezekiel 37: 1-14

Pentecost Sunday; Memorial Day week-end; graduation week-end in Troy; continuation of "Telling Stories" sermon series -- no one particular theme rose to the top.

I love the Ezekiel passage.  Looking at it in the context of "telling stories" makes me notice that Ezekiel had to prophesy to bring life to the dead bones.  Of course, it had to be the Word of the Lord.

The Pentecost story certainly focuses on the importance of telling God's story.  The gift of language was for the purpose of telling the story to all the world.  Reminder -- this is not the Pentecostal story where people talk in tongues, but the bestowing of the different languages on the followers so that they could communicate with people throughout the world.

Certainly, family gatherings have lots of stories told.  Think of all the stories being told at graduation parties.
