In this study, pastor Barry takes us verse-by-verse through Ezekiel ch37. This is one of the most remarkable prophecies in the Bible, and one that we are seeing fulfilled in the days we are living in. Seldom does a day go by where the Nation of Israel are not in the news. This 2600 year old prophecy from Ezekiel sheds on the reason why.
The main theme of this rather famous chapter (“The Valley of Dry Bones”) is the resurrection of Israel. The restoration of a dispersed, scattered, down-trodden population, the Nation of Israel, to their God-given patch of the world.
Following on from that is a section which relates some of the events in the present day to the present-day status of the nation of Israel. There is particular reference to the recently-issued statement by the Church Of England Synod: “Kairos Palestine II”.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE SERMON
This has already been produced (by two different processes) but has not yet been checked visually. It is intended that it will be uploaded … soon 😊
There is a “button” labelled “Save Video” (or “Download Video” sometimes). See below (“PS0” for full info)
PS2: ::: The latest development on the “Transcript” section is that the text-file will be subject to far less preparation than before – less editing and correction. It will still be converted to sentence-column form as before, but any trimming and polishing will be left to the user. Any shortcomings in the transcription software should be pretty obvious and so not a problem in getting the meaning (and the audio file will provide the necessary clarification if required 😀🎧 )
PS1: ::: {not-so-}NEW FORMAT of the transcript.
To ease the processing and preparation of the transcript, and we hope improve the readability of the text, a new format was been adopted in mid October. This breaks the text into sentences instead of arbitrarily-sized “paragraphs”. When the reader opens the file in a program such as Notepad (in MS Windows), then the appearance can be just like a newspaper column. The format is such that the user has many options available, depending on preferences and what software they like to use.
Any feedback on usefulness, improvement suggestions, or whatever, would be most welcome.
PS0 ::::: TRANSCRIPT OF THE SERMON >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There is a “button” labelled “Save Video” (or “Download Video” sometimes). This actually links to a text-file to download. It is a transcript of the sermon. At present it is at an experimental stage: it is an aid to getting the most out of the sermon audio. There is no substitute for listening to the verbal delivery of a sermon. However, searching through an audio file lasting the best part of an hour can be somewhat difficult. When you approach the search knowing that you’re sure there is something about “redemption”, for example, then a transcript text-search can take you right there and show you the time in the recording where you will find it! The file is simple “text” rather than a more sophisticated form so that you can edit or reformat as you prefer.
This transcript is in 2 forms (in the one file). One half consists of normal text arrangement. The other section is short bunches of words (8 to 12 nomally) beneath the TIMES at which they occur (for the whole sermon).
This facility is in development (“experimental” as mentioned above) so any feedback on usefulness, improvement suggestions, or whatever, would be most welcome.
