Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll look at Romans chapter five as we examine the one thing we should really be thankful for...and it has absolutely nothing to do with material wealth. Today we will bring you another message from pastor Lloyd's series titled "Basic Christian Living". In the final two verses of Romans chapter five, Paul reminds the Roman Christians of the power and might of God's wonderful grace.

Being justified in Christ carries with it many blessings, one of which is freedom. How we choose to exercise that freedom speaks volumes about our character and walk with the Lord. We are sharing messages from pastor Lloyd's series titled "Basic Christian Living".

As we study John's gospel, we're in chapter fifteen, where Jesus talks about abiding in God's love. The world is going to be against you, the moment you declare your allegiance to Christ. Pastor Lloyd Pulley now brongs us another message from his series titled "Basic Christian Living".

We've just begun a series titled "Basic Christian Living", and today we will be in John fifteen. In this chapter, Jesus explains to His apostles the nature of His relationship with the Father and, in doing so, reveals the ideal relationship between the Father and us. We are the branches and Jesus is the true vine. We are to abide in Him. Just exactly what does that mean?

We are living in the end times. I'm sure you've heard someone say that. How do we know? How do we know that the return of Jesus is just around the corner? Current events certainly compel us to think so. Pastor Lloyd will share his thoughts on the state of the world today, and how it relates to the return of Jesus. It's a fascinating look at the world in 2026.

Today we'll begin a series from pastor Lloyd, titled "Basic Christian Living". I think you'll agree that we sometimes complicate our walk with God with doctrinal arguments, and other assorted things, so getting back to the basics sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? One of the basic aspects of our life as believers is the belief that Jesus is coming back - and coming back soon. It's going to be a glorious and triumphant moment when it happens.

Today we bring to a close, pastor Lloyd's series on spiritual warfare, titled "Spiritual Warfare 101". The final aspect of our spiritual armor that Paul discussed in Ephesians six was prayer. Now, I realize that prayer isn't necessarily connected with spiritual warfare, but if you understand what pryer is supposed to bee then it makes perfect sense that communicating with God is a great way to combat our spiritual enemy.

Paul ends his instruction on spiritual warfare by imploring the Ephesians to pray. That shows us what a powerful weapon prayer really is! Too often, we see prayer as an opportunity to vent our frustrations with life, or to present God a list of material requests. This is NOT what prayer is supposed to be about.

Today, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our series on spiritual warfare by looking a couple of very important pieces of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, and the ways we can use them to defeat our enemy. Satan is a very real - and so is the damage he can do to our relationship with God.

Pastor Lloyd will take us to Ephesians six, verse seventeen, where we discover two very important parts of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. One is a defensive item - a helmet, but the other is an offensive weapon - the sword.
