Troubles and Triumphs on the Trail - Part 1
November 30, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 19:20—20:17
Whether you’re a full time evangelist, or you’ve only shared your faith a few times, one thing you know is that your message is not always received with open arms. In fact, often times it’s met with resistance and even hostility. The Lord told us it would be that way, so don’t be surprised when it happens. Today, as we continue our series in Acts, we’ll meet up again with Paul and his crew, as they share the gospel message with the unsaved.
Power of His Spirit and Effectiveness of His Word - Part 2
November 29, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 19:1–20
We’ll return to our verse by verse study through Acts today, as we continue a look at chapter nineteen. Today we’ll return to a scene that has stirred some controversy over the years. Paul encountered some people who called themselves "disciples", yet they didn’t know a thing about the Holy Spirit. Were they saved?
Power of His Spirit and Effectiveness of His Word - Part 1
November 28, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 19:1–20
In the first several verses of Acts chapter nineteen, we find Paul in Ephesus, talking to a group of disciples who are sharing God’s love, but have never even heard of the Holy Spirit! Now, their motivation was pure, but their doctrine was incomplete. Many Christians today tend to talk about God’s magnificent love, and Jesus’ atoning death on the cross, but neglect the role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives.
Humility and Submission - Part 2
November 27, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • 1 Peter 5:5–7
Even a quick glance at television today will tell you that this world has a problem with humility. The catch phrase of the year 2016 has got to be "It’s all about ME!" Welcome to Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley. It’s good to have you with us as Pastor Lloyd continues his study of First Peter. Peter has some good words to say about the need for a humble heart in chapter five, verses five through seven.

The Corinthian Encounter - Part 2
November 25, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 18
Most politicians say what they think we want to hear, and when they’re elected, they come down with a sudden case of amnesia! It’s a matter of living out your convictions. The same can be said of our walk with Jesus Christ. Do you live by the convictions of a life given over to God? Or are they just hollow words? Here’s Pastor Lloyd, with part two of a message based on Acts chapter eighteen titled "The Corinthian Encounter".
The Corinthian Encounter - Part 1
November 24, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 18
Lloyd will continue his series through Acts today with a stop in chapter eighteen. If you have someone in your life who lives by their convictions, you know what a unique trait that really is. You may be such a person yourself. Too many people today say one thing and live their lives another way. In Acts chapter eighteen, Paul finds himself in Corinth, and addresses the issue of Christians living by their convictions.
Impacting the World - Part 2B
November 23, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 17:15–34
Today Pastor Lloyd Pulley brings us another message from his series in Acts titled "The World Upside Down". As Paul continued to share the truth of the gospel message, one of his main points centered around the need for repentance. Our scripture reference is Acts chapter seventeen.
Impacting the World - Part 2A
November 22, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 17:15–34
Have you ever looked closely at a shadow cast by the Sun? It may appear that there is some gray area at the edge, but the truth is, there is an exact point where the light ends and darkness begins. That’s true of the way we lead our lives as well. Today we’ll continue our series in Acts, as we observe Paul setting the record straight about darkness and light - and how we can truly overcome the darkness in this world.
Impacting the World - Part 1B
November 21, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 17:1–14
Today Lloyd will again take us to the book of Acts, as he continues with his verse by verse journey through this remarkable book. Lloyd is going to make several important points today about repentance. It’s a word that has a negative connotation attached to it - one that it doesn’t deserve. Paul’s message in Acts was one of repentance, and it wasn’t too well received.
Humility and Submission - Part 1
November 20, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • 1 Peter 5:5–7
Pastor Lloyd is nearing the end of his verse by verse study of First Peter. In chapter five, Peter underscores the importance of humility. I’m sure you’ve noticed that prideful hearts are everywhere today, so this is something people in this popularity driven society certainly need to hear.

November 18, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 17:1–14
Today we’ll resume our series called "The World Upside Down", with a study in Acts chapter seventeen. We’ll be looking at how the ministry of Paul and Barnabas and friends, was literally turning the world upside down! This message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ was controversial to say the least, but it was saving a lot of souls! Today’s mixed up world could use a good dose of the gospel truth, don’t you think?
First Church Born in Europe - Part 2
November 17, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 16:16–40
Imagine how Paul felt as he made his way to Europe to share the gospel with people he knew would be very hostile to the message. Did it keep him from going? No! He relied on God to be his strength in time of trouble and threat. A great example for us today, wouldn’t you agree? Here’s Pastor Lloyd Pulley to finish up our study of Acts chapter sixteen, beginning in verse twenty-four.
First Church Born in Europe - Part 1
November 16, 2016 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 16:16–40
Today we’ll continue a study in the sixteenth chapter of Acts, as Paul begins his second missionary journey. One of the greatest aspects of Paul’s ministry was his developing trust in the Lord’s ability to be the sole controlling influence in his life. Despite the complexity of his itinerary, despite the almost daily threats to his very life - Paul learned not to flinch in his trust of God. Can the same be said of us today?
