Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley

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.

  This is Bridging the Gap and we're about to resume our series in Second Corinthians.  We left off in chapter eight, verse thirteen.  In this part of Paul's letter, he is discussing giving.  When it comes to giving, God is more concerned with our heart than the amount.  Remember the poor widow who gave two mites?  Though that gift may not have caught the attention of people, it sure caught the Lo...

Martin Luther was heard to say, "I have tried to keep things in my hands and lost them all, but what I have given into God's hands I still possess!"  That was the mindset of the Corinthians as well as they gave sacrificially, generously and cheerfully.  Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll gain the right motivation for giving to the Lord as we visit Second Corinthians eight.

We're talking about giving, and the right and wrong way to go about it.  When you give is it out of reluctance, or some sort of obligation?  We'll be introduced to a group of Christians who had a much better motivation than that… they gave because they loved the Lord and cared about those around them.  Let's take notice of the heart behind their giving as we join pastor Lloyd Pulley in Second Cori...

You're listening to Bridging the Gap.  We'll be joined by pastor Lloyd Pulley in just a bit.  We get right back into Second Corinthians today, and touch on a sensitive subject to say the least.  I've heard it said the most sensitive nerves in the human body are the nerves that extend from the heart to the pocketbook.  The Lord has a lot to say about how we handle our finances, and giving, and so i...

Today Lloyd will continue our study of Second Corinthians, and we aim to complete chapter seven. In First Corinthians, Paul had sent a scathing letter about the sin going on in the church at Corinth. Now, he's explaining to them why he was so harsh, and at the sometime, he's commending them for their response to his criticism. That's the gist of the book of Second Corinthians.

Today pastor Lloyd Pulley begins a message in Second Corinthians chapter seven. Godly repentance is one of the most important parts of the Christian life. God has called us to be separate from the world and live a life that reflects that we've been saved by His wonderful grace. We're no longer to be living for ourselves, but rather for the Lord. That comes to our attention here in chapter seven.

Why is it we often clam up when God calls us to point out the sin in a person's life and help them to get back on track?  The stakes are so high, we can't afford to look the other way. Pastor Lloyd is about to show us the real need for humility, gentleness and love when delivering a corrective word. Join us in Second Corinthians six.

There is a right and a wrong way to bring a word of correction. We'll talk about both today on Bridging the Gap. We're in Second Corinthians six looking at a period in time when Paul had to deliver correction, but he did so in love!

We'll continue looking at Second Corinthians chapter six today in a message Lloyd has titled, "A Heart Transformed By Grace". Does that describe you and your relationship with Jesus Christ? I sure hope so. When we experience the grace of God, the evidence should be easy for anyone to see. A transformed life. What does that look like? We're going to find out with pastor Lloyd, so join us in Second...

We open Second Corinthians chapter six today and explore the wonderful message of grace and reconciliation we have to share with those around us. Let that sink in for a moment.   God wants to work together with us, and allows us to be a part of something of great eternal significance. Isn't that awesome? And maybe a bit intimidating?

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will help us get a better understanding of who we are in Christ through a study of Second Corinthians five. Where do you find your identity these days?

When we come to Christ we're made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and those things we are not proud of have been forgotten about by God, as if they never happened!   We'll take some time to unpack that wonderful truth as we get back into Second Corinthians five with pastor Lloyd Pulley

Pastor Lloyd Pulley, has been taking us through the Book of Second Corinthians and we invite you to open your Bible or your bible App, to chapter five. Today Pastor Lloyd will discuss, among other things, what our attitudes as believers should be concerning life, death, and ultimately, eternity.

In Christ we have a glorious future to look forward to.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley believes keeping an eternal mindset is a key to living victoriously and making it through the suffering we're bound to face.  We join him today in Second Corinthians five.

Today on Bridging the Gap we take you to Second Corinthians four.  Perhaps the timing couldn't be better as you're in the middle of a trial as we speak.  Allow the Lord to minister to you and help you see God's great purpose.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will share from his own experience, and the experiences of others, and relate it to what Second Corinthians four has to say. Whether you're on the verge of quitting too soon, feeling discouraged, or are quite happy about the way things are going… I think you'll benefit a great deal from today's message.

One of the major points of Paul's teachings in Second Corinthians is that the law isn't a "how to" guide on getting to heaven - rather it shows us how impossible it is to get there on our own, and why we so desperately need a Savior. That being said, we're not to disregard the law altogether - it still serves a very important purpose in the life of every believer. We're about to see what that is t...

In the world as we know it, we tend to measure a person's success by their credentials and what they've achieved.  But when it comes to ministry and the Christian life it's really more about what we've received - grace!  We need to realize sooner rather than later that our sufficiency comes from God.  We're in Second Corinthians chapter three today.

As believers in Christ, people should notice a fragrance coming from our lives.  And that spiritual perfume is the gospel of Christ.  It too can be well received, or rejected.  Today on Bridging the Gap we'll see how the Lord can use that fragrance in powerful ways if we're open and ready.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we begin a look at Second Corinthians chapter two, and the topic will be challenging - trying to live a life like Jesus Christ led. Practically speaking, we cannot approach the perfect life He led, but we can strive to get as close as possible, right? Forgiveness is one of the aspects of a Christian life that we really ought to emphasize.  

We're back in Second Corinthians and pastor Lloyd Pulley aims to complete chapter one today.  Fewer and fewer people these days truly believe that Jesus and the Word of God are sufficient to meet our every need.  They seem to gravitate toward secular wisdom rather than to Jesus and the Bible.

We'll be looking at chapter one of Second Corinthians, where Paul explains to his brothers and sisters in the Lord that God is our navigator and sometimes He changes our course for very good reason.  The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.  

  Today we continue a new series in Second Corinthians. There are those who think life as a Christian should be trouble free. That's certainly not the case. We're to expect suffering as we go through life, and as we'll discover today God wants to be our comforter through it all.

The life of a Christian is sure exciting! But that doesn't mean there won't be suffering. But, even in the suffering, God is faithful to provide comfort and to use the Christian's experience to be a blessing to others. And today on Bridging the Gap we'll see this shining through as we begin a brand new series in Second Corinthians.
