Affirm Good Works, Avoid Contentions - Part 1
November 30, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Titus 3:8–15
Jesus talked a lot about money when He taught the people, and there’s a good reason for that. How we deal with our finances says a great deal about our relationship with God. When you give financially to your church, how tightly do you hold on to that bill or check as the offering plate goes by? If we genuinely love God and want to support His work, we will be genuinely joyful when we give!

Prayer Part 1B
November 28, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 6:9–13
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Bridging the Gap! Someone once said that prayer is the last refuge of a scoundrel. If that’s the case, I guess we’re all guilty of being scoundrels at one time or another. It’s amazing how often we use prayer as a last resort when troubles come around. Today, prayer will once again be the topic as Pastor Lloyd Pulley shares a message based on Matthew chapter six, verses nine through thirteen.
Prayer Part 1A
November 27, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 6:9–13
One area of servanthood that often gets ignored in the life of a believer is prayer. Yes! there is a right and wrong way to pray as a servant of God. Lloyd will use the teaching of the Lord Himself as a model, when He taught the Sermon on the Mount. In chapter six of Matthew’s gospel, we find what is commonly referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer”. Actually, it’s the Lord’s lesson on how WE should pray.
