Bridging the Gap
Faithful to the End - Part 2
October 31, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 4:7–18
Today marks the our final study in the book of Colossians, a letter Paul wrote to a little church on a little town called Colossi. Why would a big shot like Paul take the time to write to a fairly insignificant church like Colossi? Because in his eyes, and God’s eyes as well, there’s no such thing as an insignificant church or an insignificant person.
Faithful to the End - Part 1
October 30, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 4:7–18
Whenever you study one of the epistles written by Paul, you can be sure you’re in for some good challenges. As we begin our final study in Colossians today, we’re going to be presented with one of the most awesome and invigorating of Paul’s challenges. To live our lives every single day in a way that shows the world we are different because of the work Jesus Christ has done in our lives.
Keeping the Connection - Part 2
October 29, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 4:2–6
To understand the great wisdom in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, it’s important to understand that he was writing to a group of Christians who had strayed a bit. They believed in Jesus Christ, but outside influences had caused their doctrine to become polluted with idol worship.

Power of a Holy Life - Part 2
October 27, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Titus 1:10—2:10
Leading a holy life is a great challenge, whether you’re talking about the days of Titus in the first century A.D., or the year 2018, A.D.. But that’s Paul’s message to Titus in chapters one and two - strive to be holy! Old age is an asset, not a liability, despite what our world teaches today. Those who are older in the faith have so much that they’ve learned about God. Yet, quite often - older people take on a different attitude.... “It’s time to let the younger people do it now, I’ll just sit back, do nothing, retire from serving God, and wait till He takes me home.” Today Pastor Lloyd encourage senior saints to be all that God wants them to be.

Spirit Led Relationships - Part 2
October 25, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:18—4:1
Book store shelves are stuffed with “how to manuals” for all sorts of things, like car repair, computer programming, and even how to have a successful marriage, and a successful family life. Some of them have some pretty good things to say, but many of them don’t. If you want God’s thoughts on marriage, and family relationships, turn to the Bible. Today we’ll bring you the conclusion of Lloyd’s study in Colossians chapter three.
Spirit Led Relationships - Part 1
October 24, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:18—4:1
Today Lloyd will begin our final study in Colossians chapter three. The verses contained here, about Husbands, Wives and Children have been discussed, dissected and argued about for centuries. Family matters have an important place in media and in our households. It seems everyone has an opinion on how to raise kids and maintain a positive family atmosphere. What does the Bible really say about these most precious relationships?
Practicing the New You - Part 2
October 23, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:12–17
Today on Bridging the Gap, we’ll continue our study in Colossians chapter three, and again concentrate on the differences between the old person living in a world of unrepentant sin, and the new http://person...the one who’s accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. The difference should be very apparent.
Practicing the New You - Part 1
October 22, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:12–17
Today, we’re going to study an important part of scripture, one that deals with the very essence of what we become when we are born again, as believers in Jesus Christ. There are many Christians who look back on their habits and behavior before they were saved and wonder what they could possibly have been thinking! The old person and the new http://person...it’s often quite a difference. And it’s supposed to be.
Dead or Alive? - Part 2
October 21, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:1–11
Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It’s a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

Dead or Alive? - Part 1
October 18, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:1–11
We are currently studying the book of Colossians, and we have reached chapter three. After Paul’s admonishments about false teachings in chapter two, he gives us some challenging words in chapter three about our life in Christ. Are we living dead, or living alive?
You Are Complete in Christ - Part 2B
October 17, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 2:16–23
Today on Bridging the Gap as we continue through Colossians, we’re going to examine the relationship between living under the law and living under the Grace of Jesus Christ. The law exists for a purpose, but too many Christians today are hung up on ritual and laws, because of the popularity of works-based religion. That’s exactly what Paul addresses in the section of Colossians we’ll look at today.
