February 10, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 1:1–5
Today Pastor Lloyd introduces us to the book of Galatians. Over the course of the next several weeks, we'll be making our way through this epistle, from beginning to end. Passion is part of everyone’s life. Whether you're passionate about your golf game, or music, or reading, or whatever it is, we all have things we feel passionate about. Do you feel passionate when it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Passion for the True Gospel
February 17, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 1:6–12
Each of us live for something. Whether it's the next rung on the social ladder, the long-awaited position at work, or maybe the dollar bill. How much better it is to come to the end of life and hear from the Heavenly Father, "Well done good and faithful servant." Do you have a passion for the true gospel? Pastor Lloyd is here now to show us how we can please God through our lives as he takes us to Galatians chapter one.
Authority Confirmed
February 24, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 1:13—2:21
Here on this edition of Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley maps out for us the one way road to heaven by taking us to Galatians chapter two. There are a lot of alternative paths to heaven being thrown around, including "I'm a good person", but they are all wrong. Jesus is the only way.
Rock Solid Scriptural Basis for Grace
March 2, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 3:1–14
Have you ever known someone who was not afraid to tell you the truth, even if it hurt a little to hear it? That's a great friend to have because faithfulness in friendship is not all that common. We all need someone in our lives who is not afraid to leave the sugar coating off. The Galatians had a friend like that, and his name was Paul. We'll see just what he had to say to the Galatians today on Bridging the Gap.
The Law and the Promise
April 6, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 3:15–25
Currently we find ourselves in Galatians chapter three, studying verses fifteen through twenty-five. It's here that we gain a greater understanding of why the law of God exists. As you may know, there is quite a large volume of misunderstanding and misapplication related to the Law. Is the law irrelevant for us today because of God’s grace?
The Great Adoption
April 13, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 3:26—4:7
Today, we pick up where we left off yesterday in our continuing study of Galatians. As we enter chapter four, Paul reminds the Galatians, and us, that though we are under the law, we are also under grace, thanks to the atoning death of Jesus on the cross. Here's Pastor Lloyd.
Concerns for a Backsliding Church
April 27, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 4:8–20
The one way to God is by grace through faith. Paul's epistle to the Galatians really drives that home time and time again, and today on Bridging the Gap we revisit this glorious truth. Pastor Lloyd Pulley will be in chapter four, as he brings us a message with a title that could describe things in the year 2017 as well - Concerns for a Backsliding Church.
Stand Fast in Liberty
May 4, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 4:21—5:12
Today we find ourselves in chapters four and five of Galatians. The subject once again is law and grace - the flesh and the Spirit. As Pastor Lloyd has mentioned often, if we try to live by the law we’ll be in bondage. It's as we trust in Christ and His grace is applied to our lives that we're set free.
Freedom to Love
May 11, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 5:13–15
Not only does the grace of God relate to our eternal redemption, but it works as a provision for our every daily spiritual, material, emotional and physical needs. Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his study of Galatians, and has us turn to the fifth chapter. It's here that the apostle Paul combats the legalists of his day with the message of God's grace.
The Spirit Filled Life - Part 1
June 1, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 5:16–18
How can we avoid falling prey to heresy? We'll show you here on this installment of Bridging the Gap. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is in the midst of a verse by verse study of Galatians right now, and today we find ourselves back in chapter five. Satan's attacks can be subtle, and are always dangerous!
The Spirit Filled Life - Part 2
June 8, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 5:19–26
As Christians, we are to be striving to be more like Christ, but there are many times when things get in the way of that. Maybe you didn't realize it, but you are involved in a war. It's a war that is within, and the battleground is our heart. Pastor Lloyd Pulley will explain what that's all about on this edition of Bridging the Gap as our study of Galatians continues.
The Spirit Filled Life - Part 3
June 15, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 6:1–5
Today on Bridging the Gap, Lloyd Pulley begins chapter six of Galatians and shows us how we are to respond when a fellow believer falls into sin. There's a tendency to want to shake our finger in disgust, but as we see now, it is at that time when the Bible calls us to restore the individual with gentleness, and use practical love.
The Spirit Filled Life - Part 4
June 22, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Galatians 6:6–18
We're often quick to criticize our friends and neighbors, but today on Bridging the Gap we'll discover how important it is that we support them, as part of our ongoing study of Galatians. It's part of ridding ourselves of that ego that causes us to be boastful. We only have one thing to boast about...our wonderful.
