The apostle Paul provides nuggets of wisdom throughout the book of Romans that we would all do well to heed! When we come to Christ, does that mean all of a sudden we stop sinning? No, but while we’re certainly not sinless, we will sin less than before we met our Savior.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

Those of you who joined us last time may recall that we discussed the Christian’s lifelong battle with sin. Once we enter the body of Christ, we gain a desire to live for and please God, but the old sinful nature doesn’t completely disappear.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time, you’ll be able to identify firsthand with the battle we’re about to discuss here today. Once Christ enters our life, we gain a desire to live for God. Along with that remains a desire to live for sin and pleasure. It’s a constant battle in every Christian’s life!…

We’re currently studying Romans chapters five through eight, in a series titled “Essential Christianity”, and we find ourselves today in chapter seven, concentrating on the first six verses. There are thousands laws in the books and occasionally one will sneak its way in, and the public can’t help but wonder what it’s purpose is. The law of God doe…

On today’s program, Pastor Lloyd Pulley will begin a study of Romans chapter seven, which depicts man’s struggle with sin. We try to do the right thing, but we can’t seem to conquer our sin. That’s why Jesus Christ died on the cross! HE conquered sin and delivered us from the law.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

Do you ever stop and consider your life and try to figure out what’s the guiding force that you follow? That’s an important question, because way too may people today are allowing g their fleshly desires to rule them. It’s a disastrous way to live. Letting the grace of God reign over your life is what being a Christian is all about.…

Our series titled “Essential Christianity”, resumes today, as we take a final look at Romans chapter five.

It deals with God’s wonderful grace - a grace t…

Recently, we’ve identified quite a number of benefits that go along with being a Christian. From peace with God, access to God, and hope in God, to joy in the midst of suffering. Today, pastor Lloyd will remind us of the difference between the law and grace - and how the grace of God should reign in the life of a Christian.…

The freedom we enjoy as Christians should be a source of great joy. Freedom from what, you ask? Condemnation, for one thing. We call ourselves born-again Christians, but we still have a sin nature that is lethal without the saving blood of Jesus Christ.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

Being justified in Christ carries with it many blessings, one of which is freedom. How we choose to exercise that freedom speaks volumes about our character and walk with the Lord. That freedom is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for sinful behavior. Join us now in Romans five, as pastor Lloyd gets us started with today’s message from his series cal…

Today we continue Lloyd’s brand new series titled “Essential Christianity”. It’s a sad fact that there are many people feeling a bit lost and hopeless as we approach the end of 2024. Are you one of those people? One of the most wonderful aspects of having a relationship with Jesus Christ is the enduring and reliable hope we have in our salvation. O…

On today’s program, we begin a new series from pastor Lloyd, titled “Essential Christianity”. The scripture we are going to study in this series is Romans, chapters five through eight.

We’re going to look at the culture in which we live, and what we can do to stem the tidal wave of sin that’s taking us down the proverbial drain. It may seem like an undoable thing, but we can make a difference!…

As Christians, we are called to serve. We are called to serve one another, and those around us, as representatives of Jesus Christ. In a lot of cultures, being a servant is something to be looked down on, but that isn’t the case in the kingdom of God.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

Pastor Lloyd Pulley will begin our study in just a moment as we continue with Lloyd’s new series called “Christian Growth and Development”. We will be looking at several scriptures today, beginning with First Thessalonians chapter five. This section of Scripture contains instruction about life in the church. Paul’s words are very practical, basic, …

Today we’ll again be in the fifth chapter of Ephesians for a look at marriage relationships. This message is part of a ten message series from Pastor Lloyd titled “Christian Growth and Development”.

Today pastor Lloyd will continue his series titled “Christian Growth and Development”, as we once again look at the Lord’s instruction to “love our neighbor as ourselves”. It’s a tough road to hoe for sinful man, but it’s a goal well worth striving for.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

What does it really mean to “love” someone? We certainly have some examples on TV and at the movie theater of what love isn’t. But if we want to find out what love really is, we need only go to God’s word. We’ll be looking today at the Lord’s commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself”. It’s one of the toughest things for us selfish humans to d…

Today pastor Lloyd continues his new series called “Christian Growth and Development”, and he will once again be reminding us of the power to be found in the pages of the bible, and the ways we can put that power to work in our lives. We’ll begin today in the book of Jeremiah.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

As much as technology changes the way we do things, there’s one thing that has never changed and never will change, and that’s the truth and the power of God’s word - the bible. Today, pastor Lloyd will remind us that there are a lot of scams and false teachings out there, but if we stick with God’s perfect word, we’ll never go wrong.…

As we look at Matthew 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?…

Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue pastor Lloyd Pulley’s 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.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

Today we’re going to continue pastor Lloyd’s series called “Christian Growth and Development”. 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 di…

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? If we truly look at prayer as a great privilege, it will change the way we pray.…

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. We’ll start out today In Matthew sevenעל ידי Lloyd Pulley

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. I think you’ll agree th…

On today’s program we begin a new series from pastor Lloyd called “Christian Growth and Development”.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as we’l…

Today we’ll wrap up Lloyd’s series on sharing the gospel, titled “Eternal Influence”. As we bring you the final message in this series, let me remind you that there is a great opportunity to share right now, with our country and the world in complete turmoil.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

You and I never know when an opportunity will come up to share the good news of salvation through Christ, so, as the Boy Scouts say, we should “be prepared”. But we also need to approach those opportunities with the right attitude and tone. Our country is in desperate need of a change of heart, and the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Chri…

Despite what some new age rock star pastors will tell you, there is a literal place called hell, and it’s the eternal destination of everyone who those who reject the free gift of salvation through faith in Christ. How dare I make such a bold statement? Well... it’s what God says in His word - repeatedly. So how can we get the important message of …

We’re going to begin a four day look at evangelism today, and it’s a series that is of the utmost importance. With our country in upheaval, there’s never been a time when the good news of salvation through Christ has been more needed. And I know you have loved ones who are unsaved. How do we reach these people without offending them or alienating t…

Many religions today purport to tell the truth and many people believe them - and turns out to be a lie. As we consider heaven and hell today, it’s important for us to remember that there is only one truth - the truth found in God’s word. Heaven is a real and wonderful place. Hell is a real and terrible place. How do we get to heaven? Does God real…

There is only one truth about heaven - and it’s also the truth about hell. Hell is a real place just like heaven is, and the Bible spells the truth out simply and perfectly. Today pastor Lloyd begins the final message in his series titled “Every Day Theology”. We’re going to hear today the truth about heaven and hell, and the one and only way to be…

False teachers abound in today’s world. Whether they’re disguised in a slick media package like Oprah, or a much more subtle deception like we see popping up from time to time, they’re equally dangerous. The true gospel message is a very simple message - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. He bridged the gap between man and God by dying on a cr…

As Americans, we enjoy a unique brand of freedom. Our free society is the reason some people go to such extraordinary lengths to come here to live. But can freedom be taken too far? Absolutely, and you can see it all around us today. The mind set seems to be “you can’t tell me what or what not to do, this is America!” We all know what results from …

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is sharing a great series called “Every Day Theology”. For the last several broadcasts, we’ve been considering the power of the Holy Spirit, and His role in our lives as Christians. Lloyd will share some more truths today concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are those who say you’re not really a saved Christian unless …

Today we’ll begin a look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the power of those gifts. When I say “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit”, immediately there are those who think something controversial is about to follow. There have been heated debates over the years concerning these gifts, but I think if you’ll join us over the next two broadcasts, much of…

Last time we began a look at the Holy Spirit, and the important role He plays in our every day lives. As misunderstood and underestimated as the Holy Spirit is, we can never spend too much time getting to know Him, and what He can do when we utilize His incredible power.על ידי Lloyd Pulley

As we continue pastor Lloyd’s series called Every Day Theology, we’re going to spend the next four broadcasts looking at what God’s word says about the Holy Spirit. Debates are waged every day about the Holy Spirit’s role and His gifts. Yet, there need not be such a controversy, if we go directly to Gods word and find out what He says!…

Every Day Theology is the topic once again today as pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series dealing with the basics of what we believe, and why we believe it.
