February 28, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:44–58
Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series in Matthew as we discover what real value is all about. Welcome to the broadcast! What Jesus considered valuable stands in stark contrast to man’s ideas on the subject. It’s not hard to see that as you carefully study the Word and compare that to the world, the difference is night and day. If we understand what God finds valuable, then we will have a better idea of what we should protecting.
Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 2B
February 27, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:24–43
Today Pastor Lloyd continues his series in Matthew, as we continue our study of the Lord’s parables in chapter thirteen. One parable in particular is important enough that Jesus actually offers an explanation of exactly what it means! Stay tuned for that!
Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 2A
February 26, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:24–43
We're right in the middle of a look at the parables found in Matthew chapter thirteen and it’s a challenging study dealing with reaping and sowing. As we listen in, it’s a good opportunity to examine what we are reaping in our own lives. Are you planting good seed? There are many opportunities every day to choose good seed or bad seed. Lloyd will also share the parable of the mustard seed today, so, we are definitely focusing on “seeds” today!
Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 1B
February 25, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:1–23
Today we look at Matthew thirteen, as we continue our series highlighting the magnificent earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of Matthew. The Parable of the Sower is 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.

Mysteries of the Kingdom - Part 1A
February 22, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 13:1–23
Today we continue our series looking back at the most requested messages Lloyd shared last year. Jesus was great about taking deep heavenly truths, and making them easy to understand. One of His chosen methods of teaching was through stories we refer to as parables. 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.
Messiah Rejected - Part 2
February 21, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 12
God created man to have a relationship with Him. But it is quite clear our need is more than just a superficial relationship with God and one another. Superficial religion and ritual is the problem not the cure. Jesus gets at the heart of all this in His teaching recorded by Matthew in his gospel and is the subject of today’s Bridging the Gap. The difference between Christianity and other religions is Christianity is NOT a religion - it’s a relationship!
Messiah Rejected - Part 1
February 20, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 12
In Matthew chapter twelve verse six, Jesus makes an incredible claim. He claims to be greater than the temple! And as the sacrifice for our sins - once and for all - what took place at the the temple is now fulfilled in Jesus. This is a vitally important point that we must not only understand, but share with the world as well.
Messianic Expectations Unmet - Part 2
February 19, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 11
We are making our way through a series here on the program in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew wrote his account of the life of Jesus specifically to show the Jews of his day that Jesus was, and is the Messiah. It reminds us that even i.n the face of overwhelming evidence of God’s existence and power and reign over everything, there are still those who will not believe. But there is hope for this world!That’s a message we need to be quick to share.
Messianic Expectations Unmet - Part 1
February 18, 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”.

A Christ Centered Marriage - Part 2
February 15, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:18–19
The topic of discussion on this day after Valentine’s Day continues to be marriage. Marriage is in real trouble today. Divorce rates are climbing - even among Christians, and we even have an organized and successful effort in this country to redefine marriage - and throw God’s definition in the trash. God designed marriage very specifically, and in His word He lays out His beautiful marriage blueprint. Why would we want to mess with God’s plan?
A Christ Centered Marriage - Part 1
February 14, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Colossians 3:18–19
Seeing as how today is Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d take a break from our series in Matthew today and tomorrow and talk about marriage. God’s word sets forth very specific roles for marriage, and we have got to really understand what He’s saying in order to have a Godly marriage. That’s what we’ll do over the next two broadcasts - discover how to have a Godly marriage by placing Christ at the center.
