Speaking Topics

Each of the following talks is designed to be given in the time allotted in brackets.  However, each can be shortened or lengthened to meet the time conditions of the event.

The Greatest Gift Ever Given

Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given.  This Christmas talk will encourage women to look at the season of gift giving with new eyes.  As we look at the magi, we discover that their focus was solely on finding and worshiping the new king.  As we leave, we will do so with a renewed focus—to find, share and worship Jesus our king—the greatest gift of the season.

How many times has God placed you in His waiting room?  By studying God’s Word, women will learn that there is purpose in the Wait and that God has provided us with principles and practical tools for enduring these Waiting times with hope, peace and joy.

What to Do When God Says Go

Do you desire to be used by God?  It may be more difficult than we think if we are not prepared for when God says Go.  We will learn from the apostle Paul as he encountered opposition when called by God but triumphantly persevered through the power of the Holy Spirit.

A Heart Like David

David was the man after God’s own heart, but he was far from perfect.  Together we will discover what God saw and loved about David’s heart.  As we look at the pattern of the Psalms, we learn that the Lord loves us to be honest and transparent with Him.  Additionally, we’ll discover that our vulnerability opens our eyes, ears and hearts to the only one who can truly comfort us.

Broken for Glory

There is a misconception that once we become believers and surrender our will to the Lord that we will no longer experience suffering and hardship.  The truth is our lives will be filled with peace and tranquility but it will often be in the midst of trial and heartache.  Scripture teaches us how God desires us to grow through adversity for our good and His glory.

Abiding Comes at a Cost

There is no shortcut to abiding in God!  Abiding in Him takes time, sacrifice and discipline.  However, there is no greater blessing than experiencing the rich life of abundance that comes as a result of the conscience choice to abide in the Lord.  Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”  Come learn how to abide at any cost and experience the abundant life as a result!

{50 minutes}

Quiet Time in a Basket

A daily time with the Lord can become the most special moments of everyday when we know how to create an atmosphere of intimacy with Him.  Charles Stanley writes, “We tend to be spiritually anemic because we keep busy running from one activity to the next.”  Discover how to slow down and experience what happens when we stop the busyness long enough to hear God in the stillness.  Learn how to fill a basket with everything we need to draw near to the lover of our souls.

Retreat Talks

Waiting on God: Finding Hope, Joy and Peace during the Waiting Times of Life

“But those who hope (wait) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31

The Waiting times are some of the most difficult times of our lives.  They are often filled with insecurity, uncertainty and fearfulness.  However, it is through the Waiting times of life that God grows our hearts and souls.  “For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son…” Rom.8:29.  Find the incredible value of the godly Waits in life by learning how to wait on God and discovering that there is purpose in the Wait. 

These retreat talks are designed to be delivered in four sessions.  Each session is 50 minutes long.  However, the number of sessions and time can be adjusted to meet the time conditions of your retreat.

The Armor of God: Relying on the Lord and His Power in the Battles of Life

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”  Ephesians 6:10

The world teaches that we should be strong in ourselves and rely on our own power to fight the battles of life.  This is contrary to the Bible and directly contradicts what Paul teaches in Ephesians 6:10-20.  Discover how God has supplied believers with everything they need in order to defeat opposition and to live victorious Christian lives.

These retreat talks include Quiet Time Questions, Discussion Questions and Note Taking Outlines.  There is also a theme verse and theme song available.  Additionally, you will receive a list of suggested hymns and praise songs that specifically address the retreat topic and reinforce the principles given in each of the four sessions.
