Thelma Lee preaches on Jesus’s words in John 14, “believe also in me.” At the 1986 West Virginia Capon Springs CFO she recalls once finding herself speaking directly to a stranger’s emphysema in the name of Jesus. She later learned that the man, Hollis, had fully recovered.
Thelma Lee opens Psalm 24 with the question “who is this King of glory?” She traces the answer from Pilate’s inscription over the cross, written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, to her quiet visits reading the 23rd Psalm to an elderly neighbor. That neighbor, she says, “could cuss like a sailor.” The talk comes from the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986.
John Hobbs preaches on Jesus asking Peter three times, “Do you love me?” He describes leaving cherished “sailboats in the sand.” Every act of ministry, he tells the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986, must grow out of love for Jesus rather than duty or guilt.
John Hobbs opens at the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986 with an anecdote about his mother, who once broke his nose swinging a Parcheesi board. He then describes witnessing in a beauty parlor and in a barroom. His point is that Christians serve God best by embracing who they are.
John Hobbs preaches that God offers transformation, not mere behavior change. He tells of a rebellious teenager named Jesse Crockett, who is changed at an altar rail, and sets that beside his own son John’s harder road to the same new nature. He was speaking at the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986.
Thelma Lee tells campers to look hard at whatever burden they carried in, then hand it to a God big enough for it. She describes how she has learned to “snip off yesterday” with an imagined pair of scissors and leave tomorrow alone. Teaching from Exodus and the bitter waters of Marah, she was speaking at the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986.
Thelma Lee recalls two strangers who prophesied, without knowing why, that her “shoreline was going to be cut.” She only understood the words after her husband died of emphysema. She then left her old settled life, like a sailboat in the sand, to travel and minister in Asia and Latin America. She gave this talk to the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986.
John Hobbs preaches on Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, whose flour and oil never ran dry after she fed the prophet first. He ties it to Jesus’ promise from Matthew 11, “my yoke is easy, my burden is light.” He adds a friend’s story of a woman told by God to leave a parking lot’s scattered bottle caps for someone else to pick up. The talk comes from the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986.
At the 1986 West Virginia Capon Springs CFO, John Hobbs tells campers about his mother, who nurses stray cats and dying flowers back to health, telling them “you ain’t gonna die, you’re beautiful.” He uses her tenderness to explain what it means to seek first the kingdom in daily life.
At the West Virginia Capon Springs CFO in 1986, Thelma Lee describes years of praying and sending God’s angels out to meet friends’ financial and physical needs. One friend joked about a guardian angel that “steps out at 65.” Another time a check for more than fifty six thousand dollars arrived just as a treasury ran dry.
