John Hobbs works through Philippians 2 on taking the mind and humility of Christ. He illustrates dependence on God with the missionary Mary Herring, who felt guilty for watching Olympic ice dancing until she said the Lord told her he enjoyed it with her. He also draws on his own daughter Joelle. He closes with a call to stand together as the body of Christ at the Florida Family CFO in 1998.
John Hobbs distinguishes praise from worship at the Florida Family CFO in 1998. He points to the tribe of Judah camped nearest the tabernacle, and to King David dancing half dressed before the ark while his wife Michal despised him for it from a window. He then invites campers to communion as an act of costly worship rather than routine service.
Preaching from Mark 2 at the Florida Family CFO in 1998, John Hobbs argues that a Christian’s job is only to bring people to Jesus. It is not to decide what Jesus does with them once they arrive. He credits his own conversion in part to his Aunt Savella, who prayed for him for years before he was saved.
At the Florida Family CFO in 1998, John Hobbs shows how Jesus turns common things extraordinary. Jesus doodles in the dirt with a woman caught in adultery and uses spit and mud to open a blind man’s eyes. Hobbs closes with a parable about a man who must let go of his bologna sandwich before he can share in a neighbor’s fried chicken.
John Hobbs tells campers that their weariness often comes from acting like the vineyard’s pruner, or even its trunk. Jesus actually calls them something else, “you da branch,” whose only two jobs are to abide in him and bear what the Spirit produces. He works through this from John 14 and 15 at the Florida Family CFO in 1998.
