In John's gospel, the theme is the deity of Christ. He is indeed God in human flesh. Now as you can imagine, some of the people around Jesus at the time were a bit taken aback by this claim. If you have doubts about the deity of Jesus, then stay with us!

Pastor Lloyd Pulley will be picking up where we left off last time in our survey of John's Gospel, which is chapter six. It's here that the disciples of Christ encounter an intense storm, which they had been battling for quite some time.

We'll be looking at John chapter six today, where we see the heart of God and some valuable principles that can help us as we set out to serve God. We'll be looking at the familiar story of the feeding of the five thousand.

Today pastor Lloyd takes us back to the gospel of John, chapter five. Here Jesus points to His works and the scripture as the basis for faith, and that He is indeed God's promised Messiah. Despite the obvious evidence, there were still a lot of skeptics around back then, just as there are today.

On our last program, we saw Jesus heal a man who had been crippled for many years. But physical healing was only part of his problem - he needed spiritual healing as well. We'll see the Great Physician go to work on his spiritual condition today as our study of John takes us back to chapter five.

Imagine being sick and unable to care for yourself for thirty-eight years. I think it's safe to say, most in that situation would suffer with feelings of hopelessness and despair. We find a man in that desperate condition today on Bridging the Gap. Jesus is about to restore this man to complete health, and at then same time, show the people around Him that He truly is who He says He is - the Son of God.

Today we continue our series in the gospel of John with a look at a very familiar scene in the first twenty-three verses of chapter five. Jesus happened upon a sick man who was waiting at the Bethesda pool with the rest of the sick and hopeless, hoping to be cured. Jesus did just that.

When disaster strikes, questions tend to surface, like where do I turn and why would this happen? In John chapter four a certain nobleman's son is sick and near death. Talk about a heavy trial! Let's see what happens when he takes his concern and problem to Jesus.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we're introduced to a father whose son was sick and near death. It doesn't get much worse than that, I think we'd agree! But he did the right thing, in taking him to Jesus. Pastor Lloyd Pulley will suggest that's the wisest thing we can do as parents- taking our kids to Christ!

God can and wants to use us to share His great message of salvation. And if you're saved, you have a wonderful testimony to tell others about. Today, pastor Lloyd will urge us to share the great things God has done for us, with a sense of urgency. We'll be in John chapter four, where a woman from Samaria did just that.
