Bridging The Gap

Evidence of the goodness of God is found in how gracious and patient He is towards those who reject Him. It’s surprising to see His response. Case in point - Cain!  We’ll hear his story today on Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley.

 In Genesis chapter four, we see the sad case of Cain - the first child born, and the poster boy for the folly of trying to lie to God. Cain was so jealous of his brother Abel, he killed him and then tried to cover up his wrongdoing. To help assure sin doesn’t have its way with us as it did Cain, let’s join pastor Lloyd Pulley.

Today we learn a valuable lesson from Genesis four-  there is one way to God and we had better come to Him on His terms - not ours. The story of Cain and Abel, and the sacrifices they brought to God, is what we’ll focus in on here today. 

Adam and Even certainly made their fair share of poor choices, and the result was judgment and The Curse.  But they weren’t left without hope, because the Messiah would come to forgive them and us of sin! 

For the last few weeks we’ve been in a series covering the first eleven chapters of Genesis. The series is called “Foundations”, and we’re spending a considerable amount of time right now in chapter three, which of course is where the fall of man and the curse are described for us.  We don’t want you to miss God’s message of grace, even in the midst of the curse.

Sin is so frequently portrayed today as enjoyable, exciting and fulfilling.  Rarely are we told of it’s consequences.  God wants the very best for us, and He knows that sin will destroy our lives, so throughout His Word He shows us what it will do to us.  Genesis chapter three is one of those places, and that’s where we join pastor Lloyd.

Today we will again be considering Genesis chapter three, and satan’s dealings with Eve.  The Devil’s first tactic was to tempt Eve to doubt the word of God. Now he’s going to try to get her to doubt the goodness of God.  Sound familiar?  He’s up to the same old tricks today isn’t he! 

When we see the atrocities being committed by terrorists in the middle east, and mass shootings here in America, do you ever wonder why mankind is so sinful? Where did this sin problem originate?  Even committed Christians find themselves asking that question.  Well, the problems of this world can be traced back to Genesis three, where sin entered the world.

Today on the program, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his new series in Genesis chapters one through eleven, titled “Foundations”.  We will start a look at chapter three today - and it’s one of the most significant chapters in the entire word of God. When Eve was tempted by satan, and then Adam sinned, it spelled the end of perfection in the Garden of Eden, and the beginning of the problem that continues to plague mankind to this day - sin. 

Thanks for joining us today as we continue pastor Lloyd’s series in Genesis chapters one through eleven. We’re finishing up chapter two today, and pastor Lloyd will have some very frank and challenging things to say about marriage.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we’ll continue pastor Lloyd Pulley’s series in Genesis, titled “Foundations”. Marriage was one of the first things God made after He created Adam and Eve, so anyone who thinks marriage is not relevant today is absolutely wrong. God desires that we make our marriages as complete as we can, and He wants to be at the very center of that relationship. 

Pastor Lloyd and his wife Karen have been married for for decades, but Lloyd will tell you that they never stop learning new ways to improve their relationship. Marriage is an ongoing project - and God intended it that way! Today we’ll continue looking at God’s blueprint for marriage, as we study Genesis chapter two, verses twenty-four and twenty-five.

Today’s message will focus on one of God’s greatest inventions - marriage. God designed marriage as a reflection of His own relationship with us in many ways. When you think about it that way, it makes marriage seem like quite a challenge! It IS!!!! But that doesn’t mean we should shy away from making our marriages everything God intended them to be. We’re using Genesis chapter two as our reference point today. 

Last time, pastor Lloyd Pulley shared from Genesis two, and how God created the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. Today, we will continue looking at that creation.  Men and women are different, to be sure, but why are they different, and where do those differences begin and end? Well, God knew what He was doing, so let’s pay close attention to today’s look at the creation of man and woman.

Today on the program we’ll consider something that most of us would readily agree with - men and women are different. Very different! Seems like something so obvious it doesn’t need to be discussed, but let’s consider this - why did God make men and women the way He made them? The answer to that question illustrates what a wonderful and thoughtful God we worship.

Last time, we begin a special message Lloyd shared concerning the current situation in the middle east and how it fits into biblical prophecy. There is much confusion concerning exactly what’s going on, and who is to blame, and it is certainly troubling to see so many people taking the side of terrorists, but Lloyd will steer us toward what God’s word has to say, and where ultimately all of this fits into what God’s word says will take place in there end times. Join us now for the second half of a message pastor Lloyd has titled, “Falling Apart or Falling in Place”?

In this message, pastor Lloyd is going to discuss the current situation in the middle east, and how Israel’s war against hamas fits into biblical prophecy. There is a lot of misinformation being shared about what is actually going on, and Lloyd will share some historical facts and biblical prophecy to explain exactly where it all fits into the end times we are living in. We’ll begin in First Timothy chapter four. 

We are in the midst of an exciting and edifying journey through the first eleven chapters of Genesis - a series pastor Lloyd has titled “The Foundations”. As we continue in chapter two today, we continue to see God’s creative genius at work as He creates man, and then creates a place for man to dwell.

Today on Bridging the Gap we resume our series titled “The Foundations”.  It’s based on the first eleven chapters of Genesis, and we’ve reached the point of creation where God created mankind.

Today we bring you another message from Lloyd’s series in there first eleven chapters of Genesis, titled “The Foundations”. We’ll be looking at the end of chapter one, and the beginning of chapter two. It’s here that we read one of the most important truths mankind needs to know - we were made in God’s image.
