Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley, will remind us that satan is still very much in the business of "rocking that cradle". We're currently studying through the book of Acts and we've come to chapters twenty-four and twenty-five.

Today we'll be in Acts chapter twenty-four, as we continue with Paul's defense before the Jewish and Roman authorities. Paul has been accused of sedition, but his only offense is preaching the gospel message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

As we continue pastor Lloyd's series in Acts, we find the apostle Paul needing some encouragement from the Lord. Paul finally had an opportunity to tell his fellow countrymen about Jesus, but before he can, they take offense to him and a riot breaks out. If it weren't for the Roman Guard he would have been killed. God promises to always be by our side, and He came to His servant Paul's rescue, and said to him "be of good cheer."

On today's broadcast we will hear the Apostle Paul's testimony and defense before the Jews. Acts chapter twenty-two contains these amazing and forceful words. We find Paul finally given his long awaited opportunity to share Jesus with his fellow countrymen, the Jews. And isn't it instructive that he does so with his testimony.

We are currently in the home stretch of pastor Lloyd's series through Acts, titled "The World Upside Down". It's only logical to think that if you are going to turn the world upside down, you are going to face some opposition. What should be our response to this opposition? Pastor Lloyd has one word to share - determination!

The growth of the Church is largely due to the missionary activities of the apostle Paul and those who faithfully served with him. On today's broadcast Paul has completed his third missionary journey, and is headed for Jerusalem.

Our teacher is pastor Lloyd Pulley, who is currently taking us verse by verse through the book of Acts. We begin today's' broadcast with the apostle Paul encouraging young Timothy that now is not the time to take it easy - but to press forward for the Kingdom of God.

On the broadcast today we meet up with the Apostle Paul in Acts chapter twenty, and he's convening a pastor's conference of sorts. Paul gathers the elders of the Church and encourages them in their calling. Perhaps you need some encouragement in your calling - we all do from time to time.

Success in life, especially for the Christian, involves perseverance, faith and staying on course. The life of the Apostle Paul reflects these qualities, and so we'll look today at Acts chapters nineteen and twenty. Paul was a single-minded man after his conversion. His single motivation was Jesus Christ.

Today, as we continue our series in Acts, we'll meet up again with Paul and his crew, as they share the gospel message with the unsaved. Some triumphs were accomplished, but they also met a lot of resistance.
