The Way of Grace part 1 08/14/2026

The Way of Grace part 1 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. We are sharing messages from pastor Lloyd's series titled "Basic Christian Living". /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42373085

Abiding in Christ part 2 08/13/2026

Abiding in Christ part 2 As we study John’s gospel, we’re in chapter fifteen, where Jesus talks about abiding in God’s love. The world is going to be against you, the moment you declare your allegiance to Christ. Pastor Lloyd Pulley now brongs us another message from his series titled "Basic Christian Living”. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42373080

Abiding in Christ part 1 08/12/2026

Abiding in Christ part 1 We’ve just begun a series titled “Basic Christian Living", and today we will be in John fifteen. In this chapter, Jesus explains to His apostles the nature of His relationship with the Father and, in doing so, reveals the ideal relationship between the Father and us. We are the branches and Jesus is the true vine. We are to abide in Him. Just exactly what does that mean? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42373055

What On Earth is Going On? part 2 08/11/2026

What On Earth is Going On? part 2 We are living in the end times. I'm sure you've heard someone say that. How do we know? How do we know that the return of Jesus is just around the corner? Current events certainly compel us to think so. Pastor Lloyd will share his thoughts on the state of the world today, and how it relates to the return of Jesus. It's a fascinating look at the world in 2026. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42373040

What On Earth is Going On? part 1 08/10/2026

What On Earth is Going On? part 1 Today we'll begin a series from pastor Lloyd, titled "Basic Christian Living". I think you’ll agree that we sometimes complicate our walk with God with doctrinal arguments, and other assorted things, so getting back to the basics sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? One of the basic aspects of our life as believers is the belief that Jesus is coming back - and coming back soon. It's going to be a glorious and triumphant moment when it happens. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42373035

Battling in Prayer part 2 08/07/2026

Battling in Prayer part 2 Today we bring to a close, pastor Lloyd’s series on spiritual warfare, titled “Spiritual Warfare 101”. The final aspect of our spiritual armor that Paul discussed in Ephesians six was prayer. Now, I realize that prayer isn’t necessarily connected with spiritual warfare, but if you understand what pryer is supposed to bee then it makes perfect sense that communicating with God is a great way to combat our spiritual enemy. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42282225

Battling in Prayer part 1 08/06/2026

Battling in Prayer part 1 Paul ends his instruction on spiritual warfare by imploring the Ephesians to pray. That shows us what a powerful weapon prayer really is! Too often, we see prayer as an opportunity to vent our frustrations with life, or to present God a list of material requests. This is NOT what prayer is supposed to be about. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42282215

Spiritual Helmets & Swords part 2 08/05/2026

Spiritual Helmets & Swords part 2 Today, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our series on spiritual warfare by looking a couple of very important pieces of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, and the ways we can use them to defeat our enemy. Satan is a very real - and so is the damage he can do to our relationship with God. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42282195

Spiritual Helmets & Swords part 1 08/04/2026

Spiritual Helmets & Swords part 1 Pastor Lloyd will take us to Ephesians six, verse seventeen, where we discover two very important parts of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. One is a defensive item - a helmet, but the other is an offensive weapon - the sword. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42282175

The Gospel of Peace and Faith part 2 08/03/2026

The Gospel of Peace and Faith part 2 On today’s program we continue our series on spiritual warfare with a message based on Ephesians chapter six, verse sixteen. In this verse, Paul mentions the “shield of faith”. Exactly what is Paul talking about here? Well, we all know that in ancient times, a shield is pretty much the only thing that stood between a soldier and certain death. Our shield of faith serves the same purpose, from a spiritual point of view. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42282145

The Gospel of Peace and Faith part 1 07/31/2026

In this verse, Paul mentions the “shield of faith”. Exactly what is Paul talking about here? Well, we all know that in ancient times, a shield is pretty much the only thing that stood between a soldier and certain death.

Essential Armor: Truth and Righteousness part 2 07/30/2026

Essential Armor: Truth and Righteousness part 2 Shoes are a source of great pride for some folks, but today Lloyd will be talking about the very important aspect of our battle with satan - having our feet shod in the preparation of the gospel of peace. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42227785

Essential Armor: Truth and Righteousness part 1 07/29/2026

Essential Armor: Truth and Righteousness part 1 As a parent, you’re certainly not going to let your child onto a football field in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt! Christians need the proper protection and armor as well, as we battle every day with satan. His goal is to separate us from our relationship with God. He’ll do just about anything to be successful. What’s the right kind of armor for us? That’s the subject of our current series - spiritual warfare! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42227705

Make Your Stand! part 2 07/28/2026

Make Your Stand! part 2 We’ll continue Lloyd’s series on spiritual warfare today, as we once again look at the schemes of our enemy, satan. If you were a football coach, and you got ahold of the other team’s playbook, that would be a huge advantage, right? Well, as Christians, we need to pay close attention to satan’s “play book”, because if we know how he will attack us, we’ll know how to successfully fight back. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42227690

Make Your Stand! part 1 07/27/2026

Make Your Stand! part 1 None of us really wants to know satan very well. He is our enemy. He wants to destroy our relationship with God. But if we get to know his methods, we’ll have an advantage, right? Well, that is what we’ll be looking at today - satan’s operations manual. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42227650

Spiritual Warfare 101 part 2 07/24/2026

Spiritual Warfare 101 part 2 If you spent time in the military, you know that every soldier has a B-E-L. That’s a basic equipment list. Canteen. Gun. Helmet. There are certain items that are essential for a soldier’s success. Same thing for the Christian. We’re in a spiritual battle every day of our lives, and our enemy is satan. What’s on the B-E-L for the Christian? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047960

Spiritual Warfare 101 part 1 07/23/2026

Spiritual Warfare 101 part 1 There have been very few times when the world has been at peace, and we can see some very tense situations around the world even today. There is another war we fight every day - a spiritual war. Today we begin a series in Ephesians chapter six, as pastor Lloyd teaches us the basics of spiritual warfare. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047920

Restored By Grace part 2 07/22/2026

Restored By Grace part 2 The New testament is contained in the Old, and the Old Testament is explained in the New. Today’s final study in Hosea is more proof of the truth of that statement. Hosea is one of the minor prophets at the end of the Old Testament, and like so many other prophetical books, it Hosea points us directly to the coming messiah, Jesus Christ. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047885

Restored By Grace part 1 07/21/2026

Restored By Grace part 1 Today pastor Lloyd Pulley will take us once again to the Old Testament book of Hosea, as we begin our final look at this prophet’s message to God’s people. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047860

Anatomy Of A Wayward Heart part 2 07/20/2026

Anatomy Of A Wayward Heart part 2 Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will urge us to throw that kind of thinking right out the window, and concentrate on what really makes for a successful life - an eternally successful life - glorifying God. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047850

Anatomy of a Wayward Heart part 2 07/17/2026

Anatomy of a Wayward Heart part 2 Every book, every chapter and every verse in the Bible has an important application for believers. Hosea is a perfect example. Tucked away near the end of the Old Testament, this book of prophecy has many practical lessons for Christians in the year 2026. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047830

God’s Heart Poured Out part 2 07/16/2026

God’s Heart Poured Out part 2 As we begin today’s Bridging the Gap broadcast, let’s consider this: a loving roar! OK, how could a roar possibly be loving? We’re going to find out today as pastor Lloyd brings us another message in our study through Hosea. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047800

God’s Heart Poured Out part 1 07/15/2026

God’s Heart Poured Out part 1 Have you noticed how many politicians seem to have trouble with factuality these days? I mention this because it’s important that we as Christians always have the facts of God’s word available for sharing. Pastor Lloyd's message is in Hosea chapter eleven, and is titled “God’s Heart Poured Out”. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047790

A Gracious Invitation part 2 07/14/2026

A Gracious Invitation part 2 Today Lloyd continues his new series in Hosea. I think all Christians can agree that in order to be a good witness for God, we need to have our relationship with Him in good shape. Part of that right relationship is pointing our lives and thoughts in the right direction - toward God, and the soon return of Jesus Christ. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047770

A Gracious Invitation part 1 07/13/2026

A Gracious Invitation part 1 Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley again takes us to the book of Hosea, as we examine the consequences of a dried up life. A lawn that has dried up can usually be brought back with fertilizer, water and a little TLC, but what about a dried up life? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/42047755

When God’s Love Refused part 2 07/10/2026

When God’s Love Refused part 2 Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will urge us to throw that kind of thinking right out the window, and concentrate on what really makes for a successful life - an eternally successful life - glorifying God. We’re studying the minor prophet Hosea. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41970905

When God’s Love Refused part 1 07/09/2026

When God’s Love Refused part 1 Now that we’re grown up we can see that spoiling kids, adults or anything else leads to nothing but trouble. As we again look at the book of Hosea today, let’s realize that we need to get back to our roots as Christians - thanking God for everything we have, whether it’s a lot or a little. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41970885

Half-Hearted Faith part 2 07/08/2026

Half-Hearted Faith part 2 If there were such a thing as a “Faith - O - Meter”, to measure the level of faith in God you display in your life, how would you score? That’s what Lloyd will discuss today as we look at some people who displayed what pastor Lloyd calls a “half-hearted faith”. If that describes you today, please stay with us because you’re going to hear some encouraging words about how to maximize your faith! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41970865

Half-Hearted Faith part 1 07/07/2026

Half-Hearted Faith part 1 Today pastor Lloyd Pulley will take us once again to the Old Testament book of Hosea, as we continue our look at this incredibly significant minor prophet. Remember, these last books of the Old Testament are called “minor prophets” because of their length, not their substance. Hosea is a great book that validates, verse after verse, God’s great and wonderful plan for mankind. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41970855

Prognosis Of The Heart part 2 07/06/2026

Prognosis Of The Heart part 2 Have you noticed how our country is slowly but surely drifting away from our Christian roots? It seems the more successful we are as a nation, the less credit God gets for that success. It’s true of our nation, and it’s true of many individual Christians as well. Hosea the prophet warned of just such an attitude in his prophetic Old testament book, and we’ll continue our study in Hosea chapters four and five today. The consequences of taking God for granted are clearly spelled out here, so let’s pay close attention! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41970845
