Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley

On today’s broadcast, Lloyd will begin a study on prayer, based on Matthew seven, verses seven through eleven. Here we find that prayer is not a suggestion, but a commandment. In these verses Christ explains why prayer is a necessity for the believer, and Lloyd will remind us that with the wonderful opportunity prayer brings us comes certain responsibilities.

No one knows everything except God. That’s why spiritual discernment is so vital for a Christian life. We need to seek God’s wisdom in everything we do, and we need to know right from wrong from God’s perspective. If you need a little help in this area, stay tuned. Pastor Lloyd is teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, and today we’re in Matthew seven, verse six.

Today we continue our series in the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew seven, verses three through five, Jesus discusses hypocrisy. Oh boy, now there’s a term we see often in today’s world! There are plenty of people walking around with great big logs in their eyes, but pointing out the specks in everyone else's! Know anyone like that? What we should do to avoid hypocrisy is today’s topic.

When is sound judgment acceptable and when does it cross the line into being judgmental? There are those who use the words “judge not lest ye be judged” as a basis for rejecting any criticism of whatever they want to do - no matter how depraved. Well, those words of Christ from the Sermon on the Mount were obviously not intended as a free pass to a sinful lifestyle. So, what did Jesus mean when He said in Matthew Seven, verse one “Judge not, lest ye be judged”?

In the Sermon on the Mount, The Lord said, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” It’s become one of the most misused and misunderstood statements ever uttered by Jesus. If you pay attention to politics, you’ll hear that phrase invoked to excuse all sorts of bad behavior. But is that an accurate usage of the Lord’s words? Pastor Lloyd Pulley doesn’t think so. And he’ll show us why as he continues a study in the Sermon on the Mount.

Life has a lot of requirements to it, don’t you think? We’re told how fast to drive, how much to pay in taxes, things like that. But there are areas of life where we have choices - like which god we are going to serve.  Oh, we all know we are supposed to serve the powerful, loving God who created us, but we also let other “gods” sneak into our lives as well.

This coming weekend we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Celebrate a death? That sounds kind of morbid, don’t you think? But Christians celebrate the death of Christ because that death was the greatest act of love ever committed. Jesus willingly went to the cross of Calvary because His death and resurrection would bridge the gap between a perfect God and sinful mankind. Join us in Luke chapter twenty-three as we explore the events leading up to the crucifixion of Christ.
