The First Gospel Message part 1 09/16/2025

The First Gospel Message part 1 When the Holy Spirit came upon the hundred and twenty disciples, there were many who were amazed. But there were some who thought these spirit-filled people had had a little too much wine to drink! After all, they were being heard by the crowd in several different languages at the same time! The Apostle Peter came to the rescue with a sermon that set the record straight. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38217740

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit part 2 09/15/2025

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit part 2 Today we continue our study through the book of Acts, with a stop in Acts chapter two. The day of Pentecost has arrived, and with it, the Holy Spirit. Without question this is one of the most significant events in the Bible, as the third member of the Holy Trinity descended upon the early Christian Church. As we will see in today’s message, the work of the Holy Spirit began immediately, and the results were quite startling to those who witnessed them. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38217725

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit part 1 09/12/2025

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit part 1 There are many wondrous events occurring in this book - from the descending of the Holy Spirit to the many adventures of the Apostle Paul. And Lloyd’s messages will help you understand not only what is going on in the early church, but also, how these events affect your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. So join us for today’s Bridging the Gap and turn in your Bible to the second chapter of the Book of Acts. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38121200

Waiting For God's Promise Part 2 09/11/2025

Waiting For God's Promise Part 2 If you weren’t with us we are continuing our study through the book of Acts and we’re near the end of chapter one. The Acts of the Apostles is the full name usually given to this book, but perhaps a more accurate title would be “The Acts of the Holy Spirit through the Disciples”. Turn to Acts chapter one in your Bible and join us for today’s edition of Bridging the Gap. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38121190

Waiting For God's Promise part 1 09/10/2025

Waiting For God's Promise part 1 The book of Acts has previously been described as “The Holy Spirit of God - working through the Word of God - in the hearts of the People of God.” That’s an appropriate description of the goings-on here in Acts as the post-crucifixion Christian Church was just being established. Many Bible scholars have also turned to Acts one, verse eight as the key statement of the facts --- in Acts - the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers on the day of Pentecost. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38121180

Jesus' Work Carried On Part 2 09/09/2025

Jesus' Work Carried On Part 2 Wouldn’t it have been wonderful to be in Luke’s sandals? He not only witnessed the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, but he also went along on some of the greatest adventures recorded in the Bible - found in the book of Acts, which Luke also wrote! Join us in Acts chapter one as we join pastor Lloyd, who begins with a few words about the controversy surrounding the gift of tongues. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38121170

Jesus' Work Carried On part 1 09/08/2025

Jesus' Work Carried On part 1 When the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers on the day of Pentecost, it set in motion the wheels of an active, evangelistic movement that swept up many a man and woman - including a certain man who came to be known as the Apostle Paul. So turn to the Book of Acts and join us for the beginning of a new series here on Bridging the Gap. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38121155

He Is Risen! part 2 09/05/2025

He Is Risen! part 2 Anyone who watches court cases on TV can tell you that the most important factor in acquittal or conviction is the quality of the evidence. There is plenty of evidence to support the resurrection of Jesus, but as we wrap up our series today, pastor Lloyd will also consider another important question - why did Jesus die? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38027440

He Is Risen! part 1 09/04/2025

He Is Risen! part 1 Today we’ll bring you part one of pastor Lloyd’s final message in his series through Mark. Jesus indeed rose from the grave, and the proof was there for anyone to see - anyone that is who sought the truth. As Lloyd will mention, the proof that Jesus Christ rose from the grave is overwhelming, and anyone who disagrees simply doesn’t know what they’re talking about! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38027425

Jesus Christ Crucified part 2 09/03/2025

Jesus Christ Crucified part 2 If you were headed for a cliff in your car, and had plenty of time to hit the brakes and stop safely, you’d do it wouldn’t you? Self preservation is a strong instinct for humans and all other creatures. Why then did Jesus Christ allow himself to be crucified in a horribly painful way, when He could easily have stopped it? Because He loves us so much! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38027400

Jesus Christ Crucified part 1 09/02/2025

Jesus Christ Crucified part 1 Today, as our study through Mark nears it’s completion, we’ll look at the crucifixion of Jesus. The facts are familiar to all of us. The pain, torture, and humiliation Jesus suffered at the hands of his murderers should remind us all that He allowed it to happen for one reason: He loves us! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38027360

What Shall I Do With Jesus? part 2 09/01/2025

What Shall I Do With Jesus? part 2 When Jesus was arrested and appeared before Pilate, who was really on trial? The answer may surprise you. Our study in Mark’s gospel continues today in chapter fifteen. We’re all familiar with the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Today we’ll consider the hearing before Pilate from a slightly different perspective. Who actually was on trial here? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/38027335

What Shall I Do With Jesus? part 1 08/29/2025

What Shall I Do With Jesus? part 1 We’ll start in Mark fifteen today, as Jesus is appearing before Pilate after His arrest. The decision facing Pilate is quite similar to the decision every person must make. We know, as Pilate did, that Jesus Christ is who He says He is. Yet, will we choose the easy way out and reject Him? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840500

Betrayed, Arrested and Tried part 2 08/28/2025

Betrayed, Arrested and Tried part 2 Today pastor Lloyd resumes his verse by verse series through the gospel of Mark. We’ve reached a crucial section here in chapter fourteen, verses forty three through seventy two. Jesus has been arrested and now stands before the high priest. What irony we see here - Jesus, the only guiltless person in the room, stands accused of blasphemy. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840470

Betrayed, Arrested and Tried part 1 08/27/2025

Betrayed, Arrested and Tried part 1 We’ve spent a considerable amount of time studying the gospel of Mark on the program, and today we reach chapter fourteen, verses forty three through seventy two. In this familiar scene, Jesus is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemene. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840445

Prayer in the Garden part 2 08/26/2025

Prayer in the Garden part 2 Mark is the shortest of the four gospel accounts of Jesus Christ’s earthly life, but it contains some very moving accounts of His ministry. One of those accounts is in chapter fourteen, verses thirty two through forty two, where we see the Lord in the Garden of Gethsemene. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840395

Prayer in the Garden part 1 08/25/2025

Prayer in the Garden part 1 There are so many memorable scenes described in God’s word, and we’ll look at one of them today. It’s a familiar scene to most Christians - Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemene. Jesus went to the cross willingly as a sacrifice for our sins, but His souls was deeply troubled here in the garden - just hours before His painful death. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840360

The Table of Grace part 2 08/22/2025

The Table of Grace part 2 We’re going to continue along in Mark’s gospel, as we study chapter fourteen, verses twelve through thirty one. Here we see the scene of the last Passover, and the Lord’s last meal with His disciples. The last few hours of the earthly life of Jesus are a wonderful picture of a man who knew His destiny, and accepted it willingly - because of His incredible love for us! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840340

The Table of Grace part 1 08/21/2025

The Table of Grace part 1 We’re going to continue our verse by verse study in Mark’s gospel today as we near the time when the Lord will be arrested and crucified. These verses describe some of the most important moments in human history - indeed they tell what God was willing to go through so you and I could have a chance to live in eternity with Him! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840325

Love's Extravagance part 2 08/20/2025

Love's Extravagance part 2 Today we’ll once again be studying Mark’s gospel, chapter fourteen. As the saying goes, we’re getting down to the nitty gritty, as the plot to arrest and kill Jesus is being hatched. The really wonderful truth to remember as we study these verses, is that Jesus was and is God - and He could have put an end to these events at any time. But He chose to go to the cross willingly, to save us from our sins. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840260

Love's Extravagance part 1 08/19/2025

Love's Extravagance part 1 Today, we begin a study of Mark chapter fourteen. It’s here that the plot is put into motion that eventually leads to Jesus Christ’s death on the cross... an act that grants independence from hell to anyone who would repent of their sins and receive salvation from the Lord. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840250

Watch and Be Ready part 2 08/18/2025

Watch and Be Ready part 2 Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will share some of the signs that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent. The Bible points us toward the signs of the Lord’s return, and the signs are occurring as we speak! Our series in Mark has reached the end of chapter thirteen. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37840235

Watch and Be Ready - Part 2a 08/15/2025

Watch and Be Ready - Part 2a Almost every Christian acknowledges that we are living in the last days. The Lord is going to return soon for His church. In Mark thirteen, Jesus spoke of some of the signs to look for as we await His glorious return. As we move along in today’s study, I think you’ll be surprised at just how many of the things Jesus spoke about are taking place! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37754285

Watch and Be Ready Part 1b 08/14/2025

Watch and Be Ready Part 1b Have you noticed how many politicians seem to have trouble with the truth these days? I mention this because it’s important that we as Christians always have the facts of God’s word available for sharing. How well do you know your Bible? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37754275

Watch and Be Ready Part 1a 08/13/2025

Watch and Be Ready Part 1a Today Lloyd continues his series in the gospel of Mark called “Jesus The Humble Servant”. 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 understanding that the Lord is coming back soon - and we must “be prepared”! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37754265

Jesus Stands the Test part 2 08/12/2025

Jesus Stands the Test part 2 Jesus Christ is the smartest person who has ever walked this earth. He is God, after all! Today on Bridging the Gap, we’ll wrap up pastor Lloyd’s message in Mark twelve, where some know-it-all Pharisees are quizzing the Lord on various topics. Want to hazard a guess as to who ended up looking foolish? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37754240

Jesus Stands the Test part 1 08/11/2025

Jesus Stands the Test part 1 Would you ever have the nerve to make God take a test? On today’s broadcast, we’re going to see Jesus tested by some pharisees. These guys apparently thought they could catch Jesus with a trick question about taxes. Ready to hear what happened? Today we return to our series in Mark, titled “Jesus, The Humble Servant”. We will be in Mark chapter twelve, beginning in verse thirteen. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37754225

A Question of Authority part 2 08/08/2025

A Question of Authority part 2 Authority is present in just about every part of life. Who is the ultimate authority in your life? I hope your answer is Jesus Christ. Our scripture text today is Mark chapter twelve as we see Jesus assert His authority. /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37658120

A Question of Authority part 1 08/07/2025

A Question of Authority part 1 Jesus had authority over the Chief Priests, Scribes and Elders on the Church, yet they confronted Him and questioned His authority. I think you’d agree, this is not the wisest move these guys could make. But let me ask you this: do you ever question God’s authority over your life? /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37658110

Faith in the Coming King part 2 08/06/2025

Faith in the Coming King part 2 What should the Christian be looking forward to? That’s what pastor Lloyd Pulley will address today on Bridging the Gap. We’re going through Mark’s gospel right now, and we’ve reached chapter eleven. Jesus is about to fulfill Old Testament prophecy by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was the Messiah the Jews had been promised, and we are promised something as well - that one day Jesus will return to this earth for us! /episode/index/show/bridgingthegapwithlloydpulley/id/37658095
