Bridging the Gap
Keeping the Connection - Part 1
May 31, 2020 • 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.

Tried, Tested and Found True - Part 1
May 29, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 4:1–11
Last time, we were in the book of Matthew, and we’ll return there once again today. As we look at chapter four, we come across a scene that is familiar to most Christians. Jesus is fasting in the wilderness and is tempted repeatedly by satan. It’s in this area of life we sometimes make a mistake. It’s not a sin to be tempted - the sin comes when we succumb to that temptation! How did Jesus handle the temptation from satan?
The Discipleship Objective - Part 2
May 28, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 28:18–20
Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue Pastor Lloyd Pulley’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”. We’ll be looking again at the final three verses of Matthew’s gospel, where we see the Lord give His disciples their marching orders, as it were - go into all the world and make disciples.
The Discipleship Objective - Part 1
May 27, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 28:18–20
There are many important aspects to being a Christian, and one of the most important things we do is share our faith with others. In fact, that’s the very last thing Jesus told His disciples before He ascended to Heaven - go into all the world and make disciples. So.... how are you doing in this area?
Privilege of Prayer - Part 2
May 26, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley
Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue our new series titled “Christian Growth and Development”. The topic again today is prayer, and the great privilege we have to go before the Lord and share our hearts’ desires. Prayer should not be a wish list, as if we were ordering Christmas gifts on Amazon. But what should prayer be?
Privilege of Prayer - Part 1
May 25, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley
As we continue Pastor Lloyd’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”, we’re going to be talking today about prayer, or more specifically, the privilege of prayer. Have you ever considered prayer as a privilege? Too often we treat prayer as a means to tell God what we need materially, or as a last resort in times of trial. When we do that, we are completely missing the point.
Spirit Led Relationships - Part 2
May 24, 2020 • 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.

Sealed by the Spirit - Part 2
May 22, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Ephesians 1:13–14
Today we’ll return to Lloyd’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”, as we continue to learn how to make the power of the Holy Spirit a constant part of our lives. One way to make the power of the Holy Spirit a part of our lives is to understand the basics of who He is, where He comes from and what He’s doing.
Sealed by the Spirit - Part 1
May 21, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Ephesians 1:13–14
On today’s program we begin a new series from Pastor Lloyd called “Christian Growth and Development”. When you think about our relationship with God, wouldn’t you agree that it’s important to be growing? There are too many people who think that once they become a Christian, that’s all there is to it. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we’ll find over the next several of weeks.
Final Exhortations - Part 2B
May 20, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 24
Pastor Lloyd Pulley brings to a close our series in Joshua today. It’s been well said... “you can tell who your God is - by what you think about the most... and who you seek to please the http://most.these final words from Joshua will help assure your God is the right God, and settle this issue once and for all.
Final Exhortations - Part 2A
May 19, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 24
We come to the last chapter in the book of Joshua today. It’s been a long and fascinating journey for Joshua and for us! Chapter twenty-four records Joshua’s final encouragement to God’s people. To summarize and modernize his message, you might say that in light of all that God has done for us, total commitment to Him is the only thing that makes any sense.
Spirit Led Relationships - Part 1
May 17, 2020 • 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?
