Travels from: Los Angeles, CA   Click here to inquire about or book a speaker Sharon Norris Elliott Tickling the Funny Bone, Touching the Heart "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Hebrews 10:24 (NIV) * * * * * * * * * *  "Let's live significantly!" Audiences are ignited to do just that when Sharon speaks, uniquely pairing her engaging sense of humor with her deep understanding of Biblical truth. When her pastor once asked her to explain her passion, she answered, "I want my life to count for God." That passion drives the teaching and encouragement Sharon brings to your event because not only does she want her own life to count, she will inspire your group to live lives that will make a difference as well. Her aim is always to see others mature in their walk with the Lord. Sharon says, "No pretending, no pretense. I am real and honest about myself and my faith; doing my best to follow Christ as a flawed yet forgiven soul, so others can see what life with Christ in our present day is really all about." Sharon's Latest Published Works Include: Living a Milk and Honey Life: Letting Go of what's Holding You Back (Beacon Hill, 2006) What? Teenagers in the Bible? (PleasantWord Publishers, 2003) The Stupid Term Paper (OceanRose Publishing, 2003) Sharon's talents as a gifted communicator are evident as she ministers to women's and teen's groups, singles' gatherings, corporate workshops, conferences, and special church services. Her prepared topics are appropriate for many functions and God uses her messages to challenge, convict, and encourage anyone who attends your program, seminar, retreat, breakfast, luncheon, advance, or even a mother/daughter tea. Sharon is also able to tailor a message to fit your program's theme and the specific needs or your organization. Sharon has taught high school for 23 years and currently serves as Vice Principal at South Bay Lutheran High School in Inglewood, CA. She has been writing and speaking professionally since 1991 and makes her home in South Gate, CA, with her husband James and Mark, their last son at home. Sharon's Most Popular Topics Include: Living a Milk & Honey Life (1 - 4 hours) This Christian journey is not turning out as you dreamed it would. When you signed up to have your sins forgiven and escape hell, you figured, "Now I've got it made." But life has disappointed you in some ways. Well, you are not alone. This message or weekend retreat examines the parallels between your life and that of the Israelites as they journeyed from their bondage in Egypt to their full deliverance in the Promised Land. Come away from this experience with a better grasp of why you are where you are in life, and what you can do to be released into the milk and honey life God has for you. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses (45 - 60 minutes) It's great wanting God to use you - until He actually calls you into service. Then it's an entirely different matter. Find out how much like Moses you are as Sharon explores his (and your) excuses for avoiding the work God has clearly called you to do. Come away encouraged to finish that which God has started in you. Reality Check (1 - 4 hours) It seems like you've been in church your whole life. Frankly, you're tired of the same old grind. You know the people, you know the sermon examples, and you know the songs. This Christian thing has become routine. You have this down pat. Based upon Ephesians, chapter 4, this practical teaching is bound to wake you up and possibly step on your toes, yet provoke you to live your highest life for our Master on high. What's In Your Hand? (45 - 60 minutes) You've heard the saying "When God guides, He provides." This message points out the truth of that statement. Walk with Sharon through the stories of five Bible characters as she illumines how God helped them use what they had to work for Him. Leave this session knowing that you too can use what God has given you.
