Advertise on podcast: Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley

Remember Jesus' encouragement to Martha in her service that "One thing is needed"?  That one thing is what Martha's sister Mary had chosen, and that was to sit at the feet of Jesus to be taught of Him. Joshua will learn that lesson too - as we study Joshua chapter five. Joshua needed to concentrate on God's instructions for an epic battle in the near future.

Living a life of faith sounds like a good goal, doesn't it? How do we do that? Is there a switch we throw, and suddenly, our life is built totally around faith in God? Nope. Doesn't work that way. Joshua five provides some good insights into living a life of faith, and pastor Lloyd will share three key truths for us, as we strive to have a strong and consistent faith.

Compared with the renovation God has in mind for our lives, our efforts to improve our homes and circumstances are pretty insignificant. When we become God's property, the old life is over. He makes all things new. Today, pastor Lloyd will share from Joshua chapter four, and the memorial stones God had the people collect as a remembrance of His love and protection.

Elections tell us what the voting population thinks, whether they want the status quo, or a change in leadership. Will we decide to go in a new direction or not?  Along those same lines, we wee in Joshua chapter three, the Israelites at the brink of the Jordan River.  Surely they were fearful of the unknown, of going in this new direction.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley will relate this Old Testament story to following Jesus to new life.

You may recall, when we left you last time, we were in the midst of a fascinating study in chapter two of Joshua.  We'll revisit the story of Rahab and the two spies here once again today.  As we examine this section of scripture, we see that God's ways are indeed amazing.  He chooses people we probably wouldn't, and He's so great at taking a nobody and turning them into a somebody for His cause.  Rahab's faith was simple, and far from perfect, but the object of her faith was perfect.

Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley will have us consider the faith of Rahab, and show us the difference she made while here on earth. Rahab was a woman whom you probably wouldn't find on the cover of a glamour magazine.  She had quite the shady background to say the least... a harlot in fact.  So what made her special in the eyes of God?

We have a great study in God's word to bring you today, from the first chapter of Joshua. To set the stage, Joshua has been given the mighty responsibility of leading the Israelites into the promised land. In order to bring this task to a successful conclusion, Joshua was going to need some help, and God was right there to proviso the help.

It's good to have you with us on this day as we return to the book of Joshua.  In the first chapter we read of the Israelites inheritance, and as we do we are struck with the awesome inheritance we have as Christians.  Pastor Lloyd Pulley will have us recognize this inheritance and hopefully gain a better understanding of what we have been given in Christ. Again, our scripture reference is the first chapter of Joshua.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley will be with us shortly to continue his new study of Joshua.  We just begin this new series last time, so you haven't missed much. Moses has just gone to be with the Lord and the mantle of leadership has been passed to Joshua.  God tells Joshua he's going to lead the people into the Promised Land. Joshua had challenges behind and in front of him that's for sure, and he could have easily become discouraged.

Today marks the beginning of a new journey, as we begin a brand new series in Joshua!  In the coming weeks we plan on going through the entire book of with you, chapter by chapter.  As pastor Lloyd Pulley brings us an introduction today we can't help but see how the book speaks of courage, confidence and conquest.

Israel has been under almost constant attack ever since that day, and today we see antisemitism at a high level around the world. Pastor Lloyd has a few truths to share about this while situation, as he brings us the conclusion of a special message about the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Today Lloyd will be discussing the state of the world as we await the return of Jesus Christ. As was mentioned a moment ago, antisemitism is everywhere. Christian-bashing as well. It's not only accepted, but celebrated by those on the left, including our national media. What's a Christian to do?

Today, we bring you the final study in pastor Lloyd's series looking at the life of Joseph. "Greatness" is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. In fact, it's thrown around so much it tends to lose its meaning. But Joseph truly was a great man. Time after time, as he faced new and monumental challenges, he always turned to God, and trusted in God to take care of things. Can you imagine a world in which everyone did that same thing?

Today we begin Lloyd's final message in his series on the life of Joseph. What a journey this has been. When it is all said and done, Joseph's life was a great example of perseverance, forgiveness, and triumph over the most difficult of circumstances. How was Joseph able to do it? His reliance on God made it all possible.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue a look at Genesis forty-nine, where Jacob has some last-minute prophetic words for his sons. Some of it is good news, and some of is very bad news.
