| Topics for Spiritual Messages |
In working with churches, women's groups, youth groups and other organizations, Nancy will work individually with a group to specifically design a presentation to fit the needs of their event.
Fingerprints
of Love & Friendship
In everything we do...we leave
behind a fingerprint! This topic examines the special relationship from I
Samuel between David and Jonathan, and Nancy shares a life changing experience
which demonstrates the importance of the fingerprints left behind in her life.
Five fingerprints are highlighted from I Corinthians 13:7 which will give
us guidance and awareness of the fingerprints we are leaving behind in our
world.

Make the Invisible/Visible
Who has made the invisible visible in
your life? We all have individuals who have shown and taught us morals, skills,
characteristics and about Jesus. Just as a lighthouse is a beacon to warn
a sea captain of the danger ahead, we as Christians must make an invisible
God visible to those around us. Many times we feel inadequate to do what God
asks, however He has given us in II Corinthians 4:2–17 a set of instructions
which Nancy elaborates on to help us be His hands and feet and to shine His
love.

You Can Make a Difference...Through
Faith
"To be rooted is perhaps the most important
and least recognized need of the human soul."
— Simone Weil, French Philosopher
What are we rooted in? Why does it take faith to walk with God? Hebrews 11:6 states that it is impossible to please God without faith, so how do we grow in our faith and become truly reliant on Him? This topic delves into the various growth stages of our faith, how painful deliverance can transform our character and how we are given the shield of faith to walk with God wherever He leads.
................................................
You Can Make a Difference...Through
Faith...There is Hope!
This is a perfect part two to You Can
Make a Difference...Through Faith and talks about how merciful God is and
how He offers us hope in all situations. In the book of Hosea, God shows his
amazing grace and hope when Hosea receives Gomer, his wife, back into his
arms after her indiscretions. In Chapter 14, He shows his detailed hope by
wanting us to be deeply rooted and to flourish. The steps seem so simple,
but yet so difficult because of our busy lives.
................................................
You Can Make a Difference...Through
Faith...There is Love!
In the Make a Difference series, this
fits perfectly as part three and examines Mark 12:28–30...the greatest
commands is to love! How do we grow and become rooted in faith, find love
and show love? First, we must understand the depth of God's love before we
can show love toward others and then we must follow God's scripture and realize
that someday we will meet our Heavenly Bridegroom...are we preparing and showing
love as we wait!
................................................
Dancing with God
Dancing together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide us
through each season of our lives can be a difficult task with the mix of our
schedules and the pressures of society. In Song of Songs a story unfolds that
shows how our attitudes can hinder us from opening our arms and inviting God
into a time of intimacy and love. How do we abide by John 3:30 “He must
become greater; I must become less.”? Take time to Dance with God.

Steppin’ Into Spiritual
Purity
This topic covers four steps to guide us toward spiritual purity
which translated is pure from defilement, not contaminated. From Purity 101
to the Promise of Forgiveness to Spiritual Intimacy and ending with The Daily
How To’s-Our Four Responsibilities. This topic reminds us of the amazing
power of the blood of Christ; his never-ending love, patience and forgiveness;
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the importance of using our spiritual
gifts to glorify God.
................................................
Legacy of Love
A legacy is something that is transmitted or received from an
ancestor or predecessor from the past…we all leave behind a legacy.
Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States quoted words that
are used within this topic that are as true today as when he first spoke them:
“You are not here to merely make a living. You are here in order to
enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit
of hope and achievement. You are here to enable the world, and you impoverish
yourself if you forget the errand.” Scripture passages are used
to break this quote down to show that God’s word wants us to leave behind
a legacy of love. What will you leave behind?
...............................................
Renew Your Spirit…Through
Faith
Where is our Spirit? The Bible shows very clearly the answer to
that question if we believe in God as our Savior. There are two choices for
the renewing of our Spirit and Psalms 51 is broken down verse by verse to
show the various steps to renew our Spirit and keep it in tune with God. Why
does it matter? We have a reward of future glory that is further shown in
Romans 8:12–17 and an amazing reason to keep our Spirit renewed on a
daily basis.
