Impacting the World Part 1b
Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley
Today Lloyd will again take us to the book of Acts, as he continues with his verse by verse journey through this remarkable book. Lloyd is going to make several important points today about repentance. It’s a word that has a negative connotation attached to it - one that it doesn’t deserve. Paul’s message in Acts was one of repentance, and it wasn’t too well received.

Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley
Imagine how Paul felt as he made his way to Europe to share the gospel with people he knew would be very hostile to the message. Did it keep him from going? No! He relied on God to be his strength in time of trouble and threat. A great example for us today, wouldn’t you agree?

Today we’ll continue a study in the sixteenth chapter of Acts, 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.

Going Forward Despite Differences part 2
Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley
There’s an old saying in sports “trust is a must or your game is a bust”. That means that you have to trust your abilities or you won’t have the confidence to succeed. In our Christian walk, we need a different approach. Trust in God is a must or your life is a bust! That’s what we’ll consider today as we study Acts chapter fifteen, and Paul’s determination to keep going forward despite personal setbacks.

The Apostle Paul of course lived in a day without travel agents, but still had a choice to make about who would make his travel plans - himself or the Lord. It will serve us well to remember that the Lord has not changed one bit since then. He is still an omnipotent, omniscient God. With those credentials, doesn’t it makes sense to let Him book our journey through life?

Grappling With the Teaching of Grace part 2
Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley
The underlying theme of this chapter is conflict within the church. Paul and Barnabas have been doing the Lord’s work, sharing the salvation message with Jews and Gentiles alike. But now they’re facing opposition within their own ranks. A little healthy debate never hurt anyone, but when the discussion turns to the matter of Salvation, it’s a very serious matter.
