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

Prognosis Of The Heart part 1 07/03/2026

Prognosis Of The Heart part 1 Sometimes as Parents, it seems that no matter how much we do for our kids, no matter how much we love them, they sometimes pull away from us. Then we try harder, and they pull further away. It was that way with God and The Children of Israel as well. Today we'll bring you a study from the book of Hosea. So turn if you would to Hosea Chapter four and we'll get started. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41856810

God’s Redemptive Love part 2 07/02/2026

God’s Redemptive Love part 2 Yesterday we began a new series in what is commonly referred to as the “minor prophets”. These books at the end of the Old testament, have many important insights about future events, and they talk repeatedly about the coming Messiah. We’ve begun a study in Hosea chapters one through three, and we now join pastor Lloyd in chapter one, verse eight. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41856795

God’s Redemptive Love part 1 07/01/2026

God’s Redemptive Love part 1 Today we begin a series through a book of the Bible many Christians have never read - and that’s a shame. The section of the Old Testament from Hosea through Malachi is known as the “minor prophets”, not because the message is minor, but because the books are shorter. These prophetical books are extremely important, and interesting to study. Pastor Lloyd is going to share an exciting and challenging series through Hosea. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41856790

God’s Unbroken Promises To Israel part 2 06/30/2026

God’s Unbroken Promises To Israel part 2 Every day we wake up and hear the latest news about what’s going on in the middle east, and to say it’s a volatile part of the world id a huger understatement. Israel and the missile east has always been a hotbed of tension and violence, but it sure seems to be worse than ever these days. Pastor Lloyd is going to take another look at the God’s promises to protect His chosen people, as we again look at Romans nine through eleven. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41856775

God’s Unbroken Promises To Israel part 1 06/29/2026

God’s Unbroken Promises To Israel part 1 The nation of Israel is in the headlines in the year 2026, much as it has been in since it became a nation again in 1948. Have you ever wondered why a tiny nation like Israel can survive al these years being surrounded by enemies whose stated goal is to wipe Israel off the map? Pastor Lloyd will have some facts to share with us today as we look at God’s Promises to Israel. Our scripture text is Romans chapters nine through eleven. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41856760

The Church In Pergamos part 2 06/26/2026

The Church In Pergamos part 2 Today we bring you the conclusion of a special message from Lloyd concerning the continued downfall of society that we see all around us. Opportunities for compromise are everywhere, and as believers, we must not only beware of them, but we must understand the consequences of succumbing to them. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41816700

The Church In Pergamos part 1 06/26/2026

The Church In Pergamos part 1 We have a special message to share with you today, from pastor Lloyd. I’m sure you’ve noticed how God and His word have been pushed out of the public square in recent years. Our faith is under attack, our savior Jesus Christ is mocked and rejected. The very same things ere happening two thousand years ago, and The Lord wrote a letter to the Church in Pergamos to let them know what He thought about it. So join us in Revelation two as we learn from the church of Pergamos - a compromising church. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41816430

Living The Examined Life part 2 06/26/2026

Living The Examined Life part 2 As we present the whole counsel of God here at Bridging the Gap, it’s our prayer that God would lead you to faithful application in your life. It’s then that you’ll go on to maturity in the Lord. That’s really what the apostle Paul is driving at as he closes out this epistle. We’re going to see the true value of going through the Word, and applying it to our lives today! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41816255

Living The Examined Life part 1 06/26/2026

Living The Examined Life part 1 How do we know whether we are actually “Right with God?” Or we could put it this way, how do we know we are really a Christian? Let’s examine ourselves to see if we’re in the faith today, with pastor Lloyd Pulley. We’re glad you could join us as we begin the final message in our series through Second Corinthians. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41816115

Love In Action part 2 06/26/2026

Love In Action part 2 Have you ever loved someone very deeply, poured your heart and soul into their life, and have that dedication met with ingratitude, or no love in return? It’s an experience that can be very hurtful and disheartening. You might be surprised to find out that the apostle Paul experienced this too. We’re nearing the end of our series through Second Corinthians, and today we’ll wrap up our look at chapter twelve. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41815905

Love In Action part 1 06/19/2026

Love In Action part 1 One of the greatest frustrations in life is to express genuine love to someone, and have them turn around and give nothing back in return... except a cold shoulder or rejection. In chapter twelve of Second Corinthians, the apostle Paul draws our attention to his love for the church at Corinth. While he loved more and more, they gave less and less in return /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41642855

God’s Strength Through Our Weakness part 2 06/18/2026

God’s Strength Through Our Weakness part 2 Among other things, today we’ll take a look at what the apostle Paul referred to as his thorn in the flesh. No one is certain what that thorn represented, but it’s not really vital that we know. Still today, God gives His children thorns, and as we’ll see today, it’s for good reasons. We may not understand the reason or even like the journey of trials we sometimes experience, but it’s a necessary part of our growth as Christians. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41642850

God’s Strength Through Our Weakness part 1 06/17/2026

God’s Strength Through Our Weakness part 1 Most of us find it extremely annoying when someone brags of their accomplishments. We see it constantly happening all around us. We’ll learn today that boasting has no place in the Christian life, unless we are boasting in our weaknesses or about our good and gracious Lord. The apostle Paul was the poster image for Christian humility. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41642840

The Trouble With Paul part 2 06/16/2026

The Trouble With Paul part 2 Satan uses the back door quite often in his attempt to deceive people. His three-pronged attack is aimed at confusing us about Christ, the Gospel, and the Spirit of God. And he uses some crafty techniques to get us off track. One of his favorite targets is church leaders. Pastor Lloyd Pulley will show us how to avoid satan’s snares today on Bridging the Gap. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41642820

The Trouble With Paul part 1 06/15/2026

The Trouble With Paul part 1 If you want to be a pro athlete, there are countless hours of practice and strength training. If you want to be a policeman, the training and preparations are long and arduous. What about being in ministry? Oh, there’s a cost involved there as well, as pastor Lloyd will share today. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41642815

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 2b 06/12/2026

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 2b Today, we’ll continue our series though Second Corinthians with an important message about false teachers. Now, every message based on the words of the bible is important, but in the day and age we live in, warnings about false teaching are especially important. False teachers are everywhere today, and the deceptions are sometimes very subtle. But they are also very dangerous. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41567905

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 2a 06/11/2026

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 2a The word of God is being watered down and outright misinterpreted these days, and there results can be devastating. Our series in Second Corinthians continues today as pastor Lloyd takes is to chapter ten, beginning in verse twelve. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41567850

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 1b 06/10/2026

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 1b As believers in Christ, it would be foolish to try to fight our daily battles without the spiritual weaponry that God has provided. Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley shows us how to use our spiritual weapons in this spiritual war we find ourselves in. It’s part of our study in Second Corinthians. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41567820

Spiritual Warfare (Of The Subtle Kind) – Part 1a 06/09/2026

The Grace Of Giving – Part 3 “An Overflowing Heart” part 2 Today on Bridging the Gap we’re going to talk about the great privilege we have to give back to Him. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is going to draw out a few valuable principles for giving from Second Corinthians nine. Among the things we’ll discuss is how much should we give, and what our attitude should be when we drop a check in the collection box. As Lloyd has mentioned, God is much more interested in the attitude, not the amount. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41567785

The Grace Of Giving part 3a 06/05/2026

The Grace Of Giving part 3a Today on Bridging the Gap, we’re certainly not going to shy away from the topic of giving as we go verse by verse through Second Corinthians. Chapter nine offers great principles for giving. Let’s join pastor Lloyd Pulley and see what they are. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/41486000
