Topics Include:
PEACE IN THE MIDST OF TRAGEDY
In 1994, God taught Bonnie of His peace in the midst of tragedy. Her
story will not only captivate your heart, but it will also move you
to tears all the while celebrating God's goodness. From this tragedy,
Bonnie shares from her heart how God's mercies are "new every
morning" and how "choose this day whom you will serve" has
become more than just a scripture from the pages of her Bible. How
Bonnie has learned to forgive will inspire others to search their hearts.
LIVING A BALANCED PRAYER LIFE
On the coffee table in Bonnie's home growing up sat a balancing
scale. Her Mom thought it was a lovely piece to decorate the living
room with, but what she didn't know back then was that God had
a plan for that scale in Bonnie's life. One day as Bonnie was
studying for a new message based on prayer, her mind drifted back to
when she was a little girl sitting on the floor playing with that scale
as she often did. When her memory was over, the Lord ministered to
her that He had brought her back to that place because He was going
to teach her how to live a balanced prayer life and then she was to
teach others. The result is one of Bonnie's most popular messages.
She teaches that praying more than murmuring and complaining is what
changes lives and the circumstances that surround us.
SUBMISSION OF THE HEART
Submission…not a popular word is it? But oh how freeing is this
seemingly binding word. In the book of Hebrews, it says that Jesus
was heard by His Father in heaven because of His "reverent submission".
If Jesus is our example setter then we too should be reverent in our
submission to Him. This message teaches us the TRUTH about submission
and how to submit to God, submit to the one God has put into authority
and yes, submission as a wife.
CHOOSE NOT TO BE OFFENDED
Did you know that one of the definitions of the word offend is; to
trip up or to ensnare? Not exactly what Bonnie thought it meant. But
it makes perfect sense, when you think of it from a Biblical point
of view. Our enemy, the devil wants nothing more then to trip us up
or to ensnare us. Bonnie will take you through the scriptures and teach
you how to be wise to the schemes that are set up against you. She
shares personal stories of how she has learned to choose not to be
offended and how it has brought peace into her life.
GET UNDER THE BLANKET
There is a relationship God longs to have with us, but the world and
our busy lives are always interfering. In this message, Bonnie shares
about a wake up call she received from the Lord regarding her personal
relationship with Him. Sometimes, unintentionally we loose sight of
Him as we focus on life around us. God is our source for everything
we need to accomplish in our busy life. Forsaking our time with Him
is a sure way to keep from being all we desire to be. One day Bonnie
found herself so unable to focus on God without being distracted, that
she shut her phone off and covered herself under a blanket to keep
her eyes and mind from wandering. She realized the time she spends
with God, not the time she spends doing things for Him, is the most
important part of her day.
WITHIN THE PAGES OF YOUR BIBLE
How can we possibly know what to do or if we are doing it right if
we are not within the pages of our Bibles? This is something Bonnie
strongly believes in and says each time she speaks regardless the topic.
So, it was time to make this phrase into a message instead of just
saying it in the midst of a subject matter. She'll take you deep
into the Bible exploring and understanding scripture, by learning how
to do Biblical word studies. You will learn creative ways to read the
Bible and discover fascinating facts about God's Word that will
amaze you. Bonnie's hope for this message is that your time in
the Bible will go from discipline to desire and you will look forward
to being Within the Pages of Your Bible.
ENTERTAINING WITH THE HEART OF GOD
"
Entertaining with the Heart of God" was birthed after the death
of her beloved stepmother, who was a Certified Cordon Bleu Chef. Her
Mom spent countless hours preparing to dazzle and delight her guests
for any occasion. After losing her Mom, Bonnie wanted to continue this
tradition by applying all that she learned from her Mother. However,
on one occasion Bonnie felt as though God was prompting her to incorporate
Him in a more significant way than just saying grace before the meal.
Thus began, "Entertaining with the Heart of God". Bonnie
will give you wonderful ideas to create table settings that on their
own will speak a message for Christ, or prompt discussions that will
cause your guests to understand God in a greater way than they did
before they arrived.
