Barbara Brunner compares the flow of God’s power to household electricity. Sin loosens the plug, and unconfessed resistance dims the light. She also describes how prayer carried her through her parents’ deaths from cancer five months apart, in a talk to the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1992.
In 1992, at the California Ocean Pines CFO, Jim Brunner defines intercession as entering another’s need rather than judging it or merely pitying it. He traces Abraham’s and Moses’ pleas for others. He then recalls how eight praying men, he says, helped move a president to feed a defeated enemy after the war.
Jim Brunner preaches from John 12 on Jesus’ prayer “Father, glorify thy name.” He draws on a sciatic nerve injury he forgave a friend over, and on a spelling lesson about the word “responsibility.” Both teach the campers at the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1992 to trust God’s will over self-pity rather than demand deliverance.
Jim Brunner opens with a boy who panics when a bee gets in the car, and a father who shows him the stinger safely caught in his hand, a picture of what Jesus has done for us. He then preaches from Matthew 8 on the Roman centurion’s faith. He invites the campers at the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1992 forward to release that same faith together in prayer.
