Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley

We're back in the Gospel of John today and we'll return to our study in chapter seven, where we find the Pharisees confronting Jesus and trying yet again to trip Him up with their clever questions. But, as we're about to see, their efforts are to no avail, and Jesus wasn't about to fall for it. It's a fascinating study on just how stubborn people can be, and how gracious God is. Aren't you glad Go...

Today Lloyd continues his series in the gospel of John. Of all the powerful entities we have at our disposal, none can compare with the Holy Spirit. He makes everything else absolutely pale in comparison. So, the question must be asked - if He is there, and available, why don't we call on Him more often? Our study today is framed around John chapter seven.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll see that many of Jesus' own disciples left His side.   Immediately after this happened Jesus turned to the twelve and said, "Will you also go away?"   Pastor Lloyd Pulley believes this is a question we each will be confronted with in our lifetime.   So, join us in the sixth chapter of John, and consider your answer to that all important question.

Right on the heels of Jesus explaining that He is the bread of life, the Jews started grumbling.  And of course this is nothing new, as they had done it many times before.  Join pastor Lloyd in John chapter six, verses forty-two through seventy-one.

Today on a Bridging the Gap, let's see together how Jesus satisfies our every spiritual need!  He is indeed the bread of life! Pastor Lloyd Pulley takes us to John chapter six today. We're concentrating on verses twenty-two through forty-one.

In John's gospel, the theme is the deity of Christ. He is indeed God in human flesh. Now as you can imagine, some of the people around Jesus at the time were a bit taken aback by this claim. If you have doubts about the deity of Jesus, then stay with us!

Pastor Lloyd Pulley will be picking up where we left off last time in our survey of John's Gospel, which is chapter six.  It's here that the disciples of Christ encounter an intense storm, which they had been battling for quite some time.

We'll be looking at John chapter six today, where we see the heart of God and some valuable principles that can help us as we set out to serve God.  We'll be looking at the familiar story of the feeding of the five thousand.

Today pastor Lloyd takes us back to the gospel of John, chapter five.   Here Jesus   points to His works and the scripture as the basis for faith, and that He is indeed God's promised Messiah. Despite the obvious evidence, there were still a lot of skeptics around back then, just as there are today.  

On our last program, we saw Jesus heal a man who had been crippled for many years. But physical healing was only part of his problem - he needed spiritual healing as well.  We'll see the Great Physician go to work on his spiritual condition today as our study of John takes us back to chapter five.  

Imagine being sick and unable to care for yourself for thirty-eight years. I think it's safe to say, most in that situation would suffer with feelings of hopelessness and despair.  We find a man in that desperate condition today on Bridging the Gap. Jesus is about to restore this man to complete health, and at then same time, show the people around Him that He truly is who He says He is - the Son...

Today we continue our series in the gospel of John with a look at a very familiar scene in the first twenty-three verses of chapter five. Jesus happened upon a sick man who was waiting at the Bethesda pool with the rest of the sick and hopeless, hoping to be cured. Jesus did just that.

When disaster strikes, questions tend to surface,  like where do I turn and why would this happen?  In John chapter four a certain nobleman's son is sick and near death. Talk about a heavy trial!  Let's see what happens when he takes his concern and problem to Jesus.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we're introduced to a father whose son was sick and near death.  It doesn't get much worse than that, I think we'd agree!  But he did the right thing, in taking him to Jesus.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley will suggest that's the wisest thing we can do as parents- taking our kids to Christ! 

God can and wants to use us to share His great message of salvation.  And if you're saved, you have a wonderful testimony to tell others about.  Today, pastor Lloyd will urge us to share the great things God has done for us, with a sense of urgency.  We'll be in John chapter four, where a woman from Samaria did just that.

Today as we continue in chapter four, we'll see the reaction Jesus got from His disciples when they saw Him talking to the woman at the well of Samaria. Talking to a Samaritan woman was a big no-no in those days. It just goes to show you that bigotry and prejudice are nothing new - they've been around a long time!

Nothing goes unnoticed with God.  He sees all of our actions, and that should make us compel to please Him through our behavior all the more. Our study in John chapter four will continue today, so please stay with us because we're going to rejoin a familiar and touching scene - the Lord's encounter with the woman at the well.

Today we take you to John chapter four, where Jesus has a divine appointment with a woman from Samaria.  Now this woman, like many people today, was trying to fill a need in her life with things that were not going to last.  She's about to learn that only Christ can bring satisfaction and meet her innermost needs. Join us, as we continue to see who Jesus is and what He'll do in our lives if we'll...

The virtue of humility was exemplified in the man John the Baptist. We take you to John chapter three today on Bridging the Gap, and receive a wonderful lesson we'd do well to apply to our lives and ministry.

Without the sun, our planet would die. The sun is the center of our solar system and gives us light. Now the moon on the other hand, doesn't have its own light. It merely reflects the light of the sun. In our time together today you could say that John the Baptist was like the moon and Jesus like the sun. Without the sun, the moon wouldn't shine. John the Baptist knew this and redirects those amaz...

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is in the gospel of John today and one of the most famous of all chapters, chapter three.  Do you know what it means to be "born again"? It's a pretty common term in Christian circles, yet many simply don't understand what the Lord meant by that. Nicodemus needed some clarification, and perhaps you do too!  

  In the gospel of John chapter three, we're introduced to a man who had a knowledge of Jesus that required a response!  So he went to Jesus for answers. And that's certainly the right place to go. Let's join pastor Lloyd in John chapter three, for a message centered around New Birth.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is currently taking us through a study of John's gospel and today we'll be finishing up chapter two. Jesus had just cleared out the Temple Courts and He made this interesting statement: "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days." Jesus wasn't talking about the Temple building. He was talking about his own body! Pastor Lloyd will use that statement as the foun...

As we continue our study of John's Gospel today, we come across some people who were taking advantage of others and doing so in the house of God. They were pretending to be religious and this upset Jesus greatly. And very sadly this sort of thing is still happening in our world today, so let's make sure we don't get caught up in it ourselves.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we find Jesus and His disciples at a wedding, and something miraculous is about to take place. Jesus' mother points at Jesus and tells the servants to, "Just do whatever He tells you to do". Well said.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley is taking us through John, and today we continue in chapter two, and the account of Jesus' first recorded miracle.
