January 31, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 8:1–17
We’ve just finished our look back at the most requested messages Pastor Lloyd shared last year. All of the messages in that series were from Pastor Lloyd’s series in Matthew and today we are actually going to go back to where we left off when we presented this series from the beginning. We left off at the end of chapter seven, and the sermon on the mount. Today, Pastor Lloyd begins a look at chapter eight, in a message titled “Touched By The King”.
Responding to Jesus - Part 2B "Tradition"
January 30, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 15:1–20
Today, we bring you the final message in our look back at the most requested messages shared by Pastor Lloyd last year. Today, Lloyd will again discuss the important subject of tradition versus commandment. Too many of us get caught up in ceremony and tradition, and forget what we’re really at church to do - bring glory and honor to Jesus Christ!
Responding to Jesus - Part 2A "Tradition"
January 29, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 15:1–20
Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley will address the subject of tradition in the church, and how it sometimes gets in the way of our true purpose - to worship God. You may have been involved in a church in the past that leaned heavily on tradition. Many people make the mistake of substituting traditional ceremony with actual worship of God, and relationship with God.
Responding to Jesus - Part 1B "Hard, Shallow & Tender Hearts"
January 28, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 14
We have a great message in store for you today, because we are studying one of the greatest chapters in the Bible, Matthew fourteen. How important is it to not only believe in God, but to also have faith in Him? There is a very real difference between the two. A great example of the importance of faith is found in the scene in which Jesus walks on the water, and calls Peter out of the boat to join Him!
Living Water - Split Rock - Part 1
January 27, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Exodus 17:1–7
Creature comforts are an everyday part of our existence. Whatever we want or need, it’s right at our fingertips. So why should we rely on God for anything? Well, God has a wonderful way of providing for His people’s needs. The problem is, His people often think they know better than God what those needs are.

Responding to Jesus - Part 1A "Hard, Shallow and Tender Hearts"
January 25, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 14
We are currently looking back at the most requested messages Lloyd shared last year, and as we near the end of the series, we will spend the final four days looking at something that is literally a life and death issue. The question Lloyd poses in these final four studies is this - How will you respond to Jesus? And keep in mind, you can’t have more than one answer, and you can’t blend two answers into one. Jesus is either your savior and Lord, or He isn’t your savior and Lord.
Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 2
January 24, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:1–23
The Parable of the Sower is by far one of the more familiar parables taught by Jesus during His earthly ministry. It’s a timeless story about reaping and sowing and, as we’re about to see, it contains truths that apply to both believers and unbelievers alike. The best way to get all you can out of these studies is to have a bible open in front of you, so grab your and join us in Matthew thirteen.
Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 1
January 23, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:1–23
Maybe like me you enjoy a good story. Well our Lord was the master story teller! On today’s broadcast, Lloyd will begin a look at one of these parables - a well known one that deals with reaping and sowing. Matthew thirteen is where we focus our attention today.
Messianic Expectations Unmet - Part 2
January 22, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 11
Matthew wrote his account of the life of Jesus specifically to show the Jews of his day that Jesus was, and is the Messiah. That’s a message we need to be quick to share as well. If you have your Bible handy, you’ll want to turn to Matthew chapter eleven.
Messianic Expectations Unmet - Part 1
January 21, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 11
The Jews were looking for a conquering Messiah, not the humble Savior they really needed. Even John the Baptist wondered about Jesus. And in Matthew chapter eleven, he sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was indeed the expected Messiah. Today on Bridging the Gap - Pastor Lloyd takes us to that significant scene in Matthew eleven, for a message titled “Messianic Expectations Unmet”.
Bread from Heaven - Part 2
January 20, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Exodus 16
The people of Israel, fleeing from Egypt, found themselves in the wilderness, without food or water. Now, God was fully prepared to feed them, and teach them a lesson about trust and faith. God, being the omniscient and omnipotent God that He is, also knows very well what WE need to survive - and to flourish. So why is it so hard for us to rely completely on Him?

More Than Just Forgiveness - Part 2
January 18, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 6:14–15
It’s one of the hardest things for humans to do - forgive. But we do have the power to forgive others, and Jesus talked about forgiveness in the sermon on the mount. As I mentioned, forgiveness is a tough knot to untie for a lot of people, including, perhaps, you. So let’s join pastor Lloyd, as he shares some insights on forgiveness, by using the familiar story of David’s sin with Bathsheba.
More Than Just Forgiveness - Part 1
January 17, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 6:14–15
The words of Jesus we read in Matthew chapters five through seven are life changing, to say the least. If you’ve ever asked the question “How do I live as a Christian?”, then this study is for you! Today, we are looking at chapter six, and specifically today, the topic will be forgiveness. How hard is it to say “I forgive you”? In some cases, very hard. But the other question pastor Lloyd will consider is this - What does forgiveness actually entail?
