Pastor Lloyd Pulley will begin our study in just a moment as we continue with Lloyd’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”. We will be looking at several scriptures today, beginning with First Thessalonians chapter five. This section of Scripture contains instruction about life in the church. Paul’s words are very practical, basic, …

Today we’ll again be in the fifth chapter of Ephesians for a look at marriage relationships. This message is part of a ten message series from Pastor Lloyd titled “Christian Growth and Development”. It’s been pointed out before that God says very little in the Bible specifically about marriage. The reason is that if we incorporate the rest of God’s…

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series on Christian Growth and Development as we look to Ephesians chapter five, verses thirty one through thirty three. This portion of the series has a particular focus on the roles that God has ordained for husbands and wives in marriage. God is the designer of marriage, and despite wh…

Today pastor Lloyd will continue his series titled “Christian Growth and Development”, as we once again look at the Lord’s instruction to “love our neighbor as ourselves”. It’s a tough road to hoe for sinful man, but it’s a goal well worth striving for.Por Lloyd Pulley

What does it really mean to “love” someone? We certainly have some examples on TV and at the movie theater of what love isn’t. But if we want to find out what love really is, we need only go to God’s word. We’ll be looking today at the Lord’s commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself”. It’s one of the toughest things for us selfish humans to d…

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will again share with us the importance of Christian fellowship. The common thread of a relationship with Jesus Christ creates a wonderful atmosphere that can really make for close, lasting relationships. Our current series is called “Christian Growth and Development”.…

God’s intention for Fellowship is the topic today as pastor Lloyd continues his new series “Christian Growth and Development”. If we are to truly grow and develop as believers in Christ, then belonging to a fellowship of Christian brothers and sisters will greatly enhance our walk.Por Lloyd Pulley

Today pastor Lloyd continues his new series called “Christian Growth and Development”, and he will once again be reminding us of the power to be found in the pages of the bible, and the ways we can put that power to work in our lives. We’ll begin today in the book of Jeremiah.Por Lloyd Pulley

As much as technology changes the way we do things, there’s one thing that has never changed and never will change, and that’s the truth and the power of God’s word - the bible. Today, pastor Lloyd will remind us that there are a lot of scams and false teachings out there, but if we stick with God’s perfect word, we’ll never go wrong.…

As we look at Matthew chapter four, we come across a scene that is familiar to most Christians. Jesus is fasting in the wilderness and is tempted repeatedly by satan. It’s in this area of life we sometimes make a mistake. It’s not a sin to be tempted - the sin comes when we succumb to that temptation! How did Jesus handle the temptation from satan?…

Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue pastor Lloyd Pulley’s series called “Christian Growth and Development”. We’ll be looking again at the final three verses of Matthew’s gospel, where we see the Lord give His disciples their marching orders, as it were - go into all the world and make disciples.Por Lloyd Pulley

Today we’re going to continue pastor Lloyd’s series called “Christian Growth and Development”. There are many important aspects to being a Christian, and one of the most important things we do is share our faith with others. In fact, that’s the very last thing Jesus told His disciples before He ascended to Heaven - go into all the world and make di…

The topic again today is prayer, and the great privilege we have to go before the Lord and share our hearts’ desires. Prayer should not be a wish list, as if we were ordering Christmas gifts on Amazon. But what should prayer be? If we truly look at prayer as a great privilege, it will change the way we pray.…

Have you ever considered prayer as a privilege? Too often we treat prayer as a means to tell God what we need materially, or as a last resort in times of trial. When we do that, we are completely missing the point. We’ll start out today In Matthew sevenPor Lloyd Pulley

Today we’ll return to Lloyd’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”, as we continue to learn how to make the power of the Holy Spirit a constant part of our lives. One way to make the power of the Holy Spirit a part of our lives is to understand the basics of who He is, where He comes from and what He’s doing. I think you’ll agree th…

On today’s program we begin a new series from pastor Lloyd called “Christian Growth and Development”. When you think about our relationship with God, wouldn’t you agree that it’s important to be growing? There are too many people who think that once they become a Christian, that’s all there is to it. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we’l…

Today we’ll wrap up Lloyd’s series on sharing the gospel, titled “Eternal Influence”. As we bring you the final message in this series, let me remind you that there is a great opportunity to share right now, with our country and the world in complete turmoil.Por Lloyd Pulley

You and I never know when an opportunity will come up to share the good news of salvation through Christ, so, as the Boy Scouts say, we should “be prepared”. But we also need to approach those opportunities with the right attitude and tone. Our country is in desperate need of a change of heart, and the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Chri…

Despite what some new age rock star pastors will tell you, there is a literal place called hell, and it’s the eternal destination of everyone who those who reject the free gift of salvation through faith in Christ. How dare I make such a bold statement? Well... it’s what God says in His word - repeatedly. So how can we get the important message of …

We’re going to begin a four day look at evangelism today, and it’s a series that is of the utmost importance. With our country in upheaval, there’s never been a time when the good news of salvation through Christ has been more needed. And I know you have loved ones who are unsaved. How do we reach these people without offending them or alienating t…

Many religions today purport to tell the truth and many people believe them - and turns out to be a lie. As we consider heaven and hell today, it’s important for us to remember that there is only one truth - the truth found in God’s word. Heaven is a real and wonderful place. Hell is a real and terrible place. How do we get to heaven? Does God real…

There is only one truth about heaven - and it’s also the truth about hell. Hell is a real place just like heaven is, and the Bible spells the truth out simply and perfectly. Today pastor Lloyd begins the final message in his series titled “Every Day Theology”. We’re going to hear today the truth about heaven and hell, and the one and only way to be…

False teachers abound in today’s world. Whether they’re disguised in a slick media package like Oprah, or a much more subtle deception like we see popping up from time to time, they’re equally dangerous. The true gospel message is a very simple message - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. He bridged the gap between man and God by dying on a cr…

As Americans, we enjoy a unique brand of freedom. Our free society is the reason some people go to such extraordinary lengths to come here to live. But can freedom be taken too far? Absolutely, and you can see it all around us today. The mind set seems to be “you can’t tell me what or what not to do, this is America!” We all know what results from …

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is sharing a great series called “Every Day Theology”. For the last several broadcasts, we’ve been considering the power of the Holy Spirit, and His role in our lives as Christians. Lloyd will share some more truths today concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are those who say you’re not really a saved Christian unless …

Today we’ll begin a look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the power of those gifts. When I say “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit”, immediately there are those who think something controversial is about to follow. There have been heated debates over the years concerning these gifts, but I think if you’ll join us over the next two broadcasts, much of…

Last time we began a look at the Holy Spirit, and the important role He plays in our every day lives. As misunderstood and underestimated as the Holy Spirit is, we can never spend too much time getting to know Him, and what He can do when we utilize His incredible power.Por Lloyd Pulley

As we continue pastor Lloyd’s series called Every Day Theology, we’re going to spend the next four broadcasts looking at what God’s word says about the Holy Spirit. Debates are waged every day about the Holy Spirit’s role and His gifts. Yet, there need not be such a controversy, if we go directly to Gods word and find out what He says!…

Every Day Theology is the topic once again today as pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series dealing with the basics of what we believe, and why we believe it. The Bible is the best selling book in history, without question. Yet, if you asked a cross section of people where it would belong in a book store, many would put it in the fiction section. …

We’re currently enjoying a series from pastor Lloyd called “Every Day Theology”. We’ve taken a look at the natural aspects of God, and we’ve looked at the moral aspects of God. Today we switch gears just a little and look at the word of God, the Bible. Is it reliable? Is it true from page one to the end? How did the books of the Bible get in the Bi…

Have you ever considered the difference between justice and mercy? We hear cries for justice all the time, but as pastor Lloyd will share with us today - the last thing any of us want from God is justice - because getting justice is getting what we deserve! On the other hand, there is God’s mercy and His holiness. That’s what today’s message is abo…

Today in Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our new series called “Every Day Theology”, as we look at the moral attributes of God. Is He a mean God? Is He a vengeful God? Is He a happy - go - lucky God? We’ll find out over the next two broadcasts. Turn to Exodus chapter thirty four as a starting point.…

On our last program we began a new series, titled “Everyday Theology”. Now, a nuts and bolts approach to theology is not the direction we are going. Instead, we seek to learn who God is and what He’s like, but also to apply what we’ve learned in a practical way. If we truly seek to worship God and love Him as deeply as we can, then it only makes se…

It’s been said “to know me is to love me”. And that’s exactly what God thinks about Theology - the more we get to know who God is, the more we’ll love and worship Him! So that’s what we’ll do for the next couple of weeks or so - learn to know God - through a series called “Every Day Theology”. Today we’ll begin by getting to know who God is by look…

Today we’ll bring you the final message in Lloyd’s series titled “The Family of God”, and today we’ll again concentrate on raising Godly kids. I could quote a whole bunch of statistics for you to show what a mess we’re in in the area of juvenile crime, but we really don’t need to be reminded, do we? Kids these days are being influenced in every are…

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley begins the final message in his series called “The Family of God”, by looking at the role a father plays, and how our own Heavenly Father should be the role model for every dad. We’ll begin in First John chapter three, but have your Bible ready to jump around a bit!…

Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue pastor Lloyd Pulley’s new series called “The Family of God”, as we take one last look at marriage. If your marriage is on the ropes, stay with us - Lloyd has some great biblical truths to share with you!Por Lloyd Pulley

The topic of discussion continues to be marriage today, as Lloyd Pulley continues his new series called “The Family of God”. One of the reason so may marriages fail in the year 2024 is that we have strayed away from God’s carefully defined roles for husbands and wives. Men and women are really different, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, and God made us …

Today we continue pastor Lloyd Pulley’s series called “The Family of God”. Our topic today is roles in marriage. God’s word sets forth very specific roles for marriage, and we have got to really understand what He’s saying in order to have a Godly marriage. That’s what we’ll do over the next four broadcasts - get to know our roles in marriage. As y…

We have just begun a new series from pastor Lloyd Pulley called “The Family of God”. Today we’ll explore how the Church is the body of Christ. Now, that’s something that most Christians have heard over the course of their lives, but do we really know what it means? And more importantly, do we know how to activate that body for the good of all and t…

Today we begin a series from pastor Lloyd called “The Family of God”. We’ll begin today with a study in Galatians six, and the definition of what a church is supposed to be. As you no doubt are aware, there is what’s called the universal Church. It’s made up of believers around the world, but today we’ll be narrowing our focus to the local Church. …

Today we bring you pastor Lloyd’s final message in his series through the epistle of James. James was a no nonsense guy. Today he would be referred to as a “straight shooter”. He didn’t mince words when it came to challenging the Christians of his day to live out their faith in a way that would be very obvious to the people around them. We need to …

We’re near the end of our study of James right now. In fact, today we bring you part one of pastor Lloyd’s final message in James. Backsliders are, unfortunately, very common in the Christian church today. Someone who was so on fire for the Lord suddenly disappears from church, and the next thing you know, they are right back living in the world. W…

Once again today we will be in the epistle of James, as we near the end of our journey through this challenging and practical letter. Prayer for the afflicted will be the central theme of today’s message. We all know someone who is going through physical illness right now. Does praying for them really do any good? Will God automatically heal anyone…

Many who look at James chapter five misinterpret what the author is truly saying. James tells the sick person to call for the elders, and let them pray over him or her, and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. Then he goes on to say that the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. Does this mean that God will heal everyon…

Today, Lloyd will bring us another message from his series in James. As we mentioned at the beginning of this series, James is one of the most practical books in the Bible. It speaks of taming the tongue, the importance of putting our faith into real action, and dealing with the hardships of life. When we suffer, we so often ask God to take the pai…

If I asked you to name a character trait that seems to be harder and harder to find these days, I think a good answer would be “integrity”. People seem to just be doing whatever they feel like doing, without any thought of anyone. Lying seems to be an accepted part of life in 2024. Today on Bridging the Gap we're encouraged toward a life of honesty…

We'll continue our study of the book of James today, and if you'll recall we left off in chapter five. It's exciting to think that Jesus could return at any time. All the signs suggest He's at the door, and that His return is soon. And that should radically impact how we live.Por Lloyd Pulley
