The Gospel Reaches a Pagan World - Part 1
May 31, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 16:7–40
Today we’ll bring you a study in the sixteenth chapter, 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.
When Persecution Rises - Part 2
May 30, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 12
Our scripture text is the twelfth chapter of Acts, and the experience of Peter. Peter was imprisoned and physically chained to a number of guards. No way he could get away, right? Wrong! The Holy Spirit had different ideas, and the power of prayer was demonstrated.
When Persecution Rises - Part 1
May 27, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Acts 12
Today as we look at Acts chapter twelve, we’ll see what happened to Peter when he was arrested, and his friends started praying for him. Not only is this a great example of trust and faith in God, it’s also an illustration of something we as Christians are experiencing in the year 2022 - the government intruding into our lives as believers
Release from Fear - Part 2
May 26, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Hebrews 2:10–18
We know Jesus came to save us from a sinful separation from God, but it doesn’t end there. In fact, Jesus’s purpose is far more reaching than that. To understand fully the Lord’s purpose, we need to consider a question: why did He come to earth as a man? One of the wonderful answers to that question is - to release us from fear.
Release from Fear - Part 1
May 25, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Hebrews 2:10–18
There are plenty of reasons to live in fear. But when we consider that as Christians, we have a wonderful and perfect place waiting for us when we die, what is there to fear? God chose to send His son into this world, for the expressed reason to die for our sins, to pave the road for us to heaven.
Faith Tested - Part 2
May 24, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • 1 Peter 4:12–19
Today on Bridging the Gap, Lloyd Pulley will show us that suffering has purpose, and if you understand what the purpose is, you have good reason to rejoice. This lesson rings loud and clear in the fourth chapter of First Peter as we’ll soon see.
Faith Tested - Part 1
May 23, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • 1 Peter 4:12–19
Pastor Lloyd is going to offer some encouragement today to hang in there in those trough times, and turn your trials over to the Lord. Our message today is appropriately titled “Faith Tested”, and we’ll be looking at First Peter chapter four.
The Day is At Hand - Part 2
May 18, 2022 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Romans 13:11–14
The year 2022 certainly has been battle, with inflation, high gas prices, and there’s no end is sight. Well just as years eventually end, so too will the battle. But in the mean time, as we put on our spiritual armor, we’ll be protected and emerge victorious. Today on Bridging the Gap we’ll learn how, in Romans chapter thirteen, verses eleven through fourteen.
