Bridging The Gap

Oftentimes we associate Peter with his denial of Christ, and that’s perhaps a little unfair.  While that certainly was a low point in Peter’s walk with Christ, he certainly had many successes by God’s grace. Let’s join pastor Lloyd Pulley in John thirteen, and see what we can learn from verses thirty-one through thirty-eight.

We’ll see how greatness is built on the foundation of servanthood today on Bridging the Gap as pastor Lloyd Pulley resumes his study of John’s Gospel.  We meet up with him now in John chapter thirteen.

We’re about to sit in on an argument between the disciples over the question, “Who’s going to be the greatest in the kingdom of God?”  It’s interesting how Jesus would respond, and through it all we discover a valuable lesson on what’s really important in life.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley has us turn to the thirteenth chapter of John today where we see Jesus lay down a beautiful example of what a servant should look like. 

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will show us that even after Jesus had performed many signs, there were still those who wouldn’t believe. And it just goes to show you that even when some people see irrefutable proof that Jesus is indeed who He says He is, they still reject Him. We get the details in John chapter twelve. 

If you knew you only had a few hours to live, what would you do for those last precious moments? A Lot of people would probably enjoy a big meal, or travel or spend time with family. When Jesus Christ knew that the time had come for Him to be arrested and crucified, what did He do?  One of the best ways to understand the heart of Jesus is to look at the things He did in the last hours of His life.

Lloyd is currently leading us through an exciting and relevant study in the Gospel of John. I say relevant because that’s one of the most wonderful things about studying God’s word.... Though it was written centuries ago, the lessons contained here are important and practical for everyone today as well. Turn to John chapter twelve for today’s study as Pastor Lloyd explores the hours leading up to the arrest, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Over the next four programs, we’ll take an in-depth look at John chapter twelve. We’re going to learn some important truths about real wealth in this chapter, and find proof that Jesus Christ is really who He says He is. Turn in your Bible to John chapter twelve and follow along with us.

We all experience hard times, but as Christians, there is someone we can cling to for comfort and help, and pastor Lloyd Pulley will show us who on today’s installment of Bridging the Gap.   We’re looking at the death of Lazarus, in John chapter eleven.

It’s almost impossible to understand all of the practical applications and lessons for us in John chapter eleven, but suffice it to say, this is recounting of one of the Lord’s greatest miracles...the raising of Lazarus.

Can you imagine what would happen if there were no umpires in baseball? It would be total mayhem! “You were out”, “no I wasn’t”. “That was a strike”, “It was  ball”. What a mess! Authority is important on the athletic field, and it’s also important in our lives in general. Who is the ultimate authority in your life? I hope your answer is Jesus Christ. Our scripture text today is John chapter ten, as we see Jesus assert His authority.

Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley encourages us to focus on Christ, and believe in Him. He’s continuing his series in John’s gospel, and we’ll be in chapter ten once again today. 

Why would the Bible refer to God as a shepherd when, back then, shepherds were considered to be in the lower stratus of society? We’ll talk about it today on Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley. We’ll return to our study of chapter ten in John’s gospel now as we join pastor Lloyd for a message titled “Jesus, the Good Shepherd”.

Pastor Lloyd has been leading us through the Gospel of John in verse by verse fashion and we find ourselves today in chapter ten.  As we’re about to see, this chapter contrasts the false shepherds and the True Shepherd. It all comes down to the same decision for every human being - are you going to follow Jesus, the real shepherd? 

Rubbing mud on the eyes of a blind man is just one example of how Jesus Christ often used some unorthodox methods when healing and performing miracles. But it was the conversations that followed which triggered the Pharisees into yet another fit of anger and confusion. We’ll take a look at it on today’s edition of Bridging the Gap

Pastor Lloyd Pulley points to God’s compassion and power today, through the telling of a story that is familiar to most, if not all of us. In John chapter nine we’re introduced to a man born blind, who is instantly healed by Christ.

In John chapter eight, some Jewish people are caught up in an argument about who Jesus is. Some said He was born in fornication, others said He was a Samaritan or demon-possessed. Let's see how Christ responds to these allegations.

Not everyone will experience the joy of heaven, in spite of popular opinion. Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll put the claims of Jesus Christ up for examination and find that we really can trust that everything He said is true! We are in John chapter eight.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll meet up with some religious leaders who had their own reasons for rejecting the diety of Jesus, but as we'll soon see, none of them could hold any water. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is taking us verse by verse through John. This edition of the program we plan to cover several key verses of John eight, verses twelve through thirty.

Today on Bridging the Gap, Jesus shows us how to enjoy a life of true freedom. It’s part of pastor Lloyd Pulley’s study of John. We invite you to turn to John chapter eight for this freedom finding edition of Bridging the Gap.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is leading us through John, and today Jesus is confronted by the religious leaders of His day. They’re about to lay down a clever trap. They think they have Jesus in a corner, in their attempt to accuse Him of wrongdoing. But Christ turns the tables in grand fashion, and really provides a beautiful lesson on forgiveness and repentance at the same time.
