Holly’s Speaker Topics
Who’s Knocking at Your Door?
A message encouraging audiences to take hold of their dreams and aspirations despite opposition. All of us have been created with unique gifts and talents given by God to fulfill His plans and purposes in this world.
“We must continually realize that the earth encompasses a sea of dark souls, deeply yearning for the light and life of Jesus Christ. Without your dream flourishing, a dream that may transform at least one soul, they (the dark souls) will perish.”
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying; “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37, 38 (NASB)
Love Surrendered
What price have you paid to love someone? Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price as He sacrificially gave his life for our eternal salvation. LOVE IS VERY POWERFUL!
Love Surrendered is a message on suffering. It is also a message to encourage believers to stand firm in today’s world of troubles and trials at any cost, trusting God to uphold them through the storms of life.
Playing for Keeps
Is a message sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, challenging non-believers to become His modern
day disciples. In this message, Holly shares her hardships and triumphs to illustrate the depth of God’s love and faithfulness regardless of the choices made in life, good or bad! God’s love never changes and He accepts
us in spite of ourselves.
Solitude - A message presented to individuals as they enter a time of retreat.
Consider a time away with your very closest friend. A friend who could care less about
your greatest accomplishments or failures. A friend who cares about YOU, and having
a relationship with you. A friend who passionately loves you and longs to be with you.
Your Heavenly Father is your very closest friend and the lover of your soul. You are so special to Him! You are the apple of His eye and the core of His affections. You were created for His Glory.
So come away in solitude knowing your very best friend awaits with great anticipation
and excitement for your ARRIVAL!
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
Are You Hidden In God’s Temple?
So you think you’ve got family messes? Well you’re not alone! In fact, the bible records such a Royal Family mess in 2 Chronicles chapters 22-24.
An infant boy (Joash) is about to be destroyed by his grandmother (Queen Athaliah), who is bent on destroying the entire Israeli Royal Family. Kidnapped and saved by his aunt (Jehosheba), Joash is hidden in God’s temple for six years. Throughout this time he is being prepared in the temple for coronation as Israel’s King (since he was the only heir alive to the throne). Finally, the six year old boy is presented and crowned before Israel and comes out of the Temple with a profound testimony.
Have you been Hidden in God’s Temple, day by day, sitting in communion with Him, having wonderful fellowship and deeply listening to His heart for your life? If so, we’re waiting to hear your testimony as God reveals you, His Royal Heir.
