The New testament is contained in the Old, and the Old Testament is explained in the New. Today's final study in Hosea is more proof of the truth of that statement. Hosea is one of the minor prophets at the end of the Old Testament, and like so many other prophetical books, it Hosea points us directly to the coming messiah, Jesus Christ.

Today pastor Lloyd Pulley will take us once again to the Old Testament book of Hosea, as we begin our final look at this prophet's message to God's people.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will urge us to throw that kind of thinking right out the window, and concentrate on what really makes for a successful life - an eternally successful life - glorifying God.

Every book, every chapter and every verse in the Bible has an important application for believers. Hosea is a perfect example. Tucked away near the end of the Old Testament, this book of prophecy has many practical lessons for Christians in the year 2026.

As we begin today's Bridging the Gap broadcast, let's consider this: a loving roar! OK, how could a roar possibly be loving? We're going to find out today as pastor Lloyd brings us another message in our study through Hosea.

Have you noticed how many politicians seem to have trouble with factuality these days? I mention this because it's important that we as Christians always have the facts of God's word available for sharing. Pastor Lloyd's message is in Hosea chapter eleven, and is titled "God's Heart Poured Out".

Today Lloyd continues his new series in Hosea. I think all Christians can agree that in order to be a good witness for God, we need to have our relationship with Him in good shape. Part of that right relationship is pointing our lives and thoughts in the right direction - toward God, and the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley again takes us to the book of Hosea, as we examine the consequences of a dried up life. A lawn that has dried up can usually be brought back with fertilizer, water and a little TLC, but what about a dried up life?

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley will urge us to throw that kind of thinking right out the window, and concentrate on what really makes for a successful life - an eternally successful life - glorifying God. We're studying the minor prophet Hosea.

Now that we're grown up we can see that spoiling kids, adults or anything else leads to nothing but trouble. As we again look at the book of Hosea today, let's realize that we need to get back to our roots as Christians - thanking God for everything we have, whether it's a lot or a little.
