Our study of Romans chapters five through eight resumes on this broadcast. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is once again in the sixth chapter, and we'll be concentrating on verses eleven through fourteen. Pastor Lloyd has titled this message "From Slavery to Sin to Fruit unto God".

Do you ever stop and consider your life and try to figure out what's the guiding force that you follow? That's an important question, because way too may people today are allowing g their fleshly desires to rule them. It's a disastrous way to live. Letting the grace of God reign over your life is what being a Christian is all about.

If we continue to sin even after becoming Christians, why bother becoming one? That question will be answered today on Bridging the Gap, as we continue pastor Lloyd Pulley's series titled "Essential Christianity", with a stop in Romans six.

Our current series is titled "Essential Christianity", and our scripture focus is on Romans chapters five through eight. In chapter six, we see that we can either be yielded to sin or yielded to God. There is no middle ground, and the choice is ours.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley has been leading us in a series called "Essential Christianity", as we look at Romans chapters five through eight. After completing chapter five last time, we begin a study in chapter six today, so open your bible and join us, for a message titled "Dead to Sin, Alive unto God".

Our series titled "Essential Christianity", resumes today, as we take a final look at Romans chapter five. This section of God's word has been studied, analyzed and preached millions of times over the last two thousand years, because it contains some of the most encouraging worlds in all of scripture. It deals with God's wonderful grace - a grace that saves us from eternal punishment for our sins.

Recently, we've identified quite a number of benefits that go along with being a Christian. From peace with God, access to God, and hope in God, to joy in the midst of suffering. Today, pastor Lloyd will remind us of the difference between the law and grace - and how the grace of God should reign in the life of a Christian.

The freedom we enjoy as Christians should be a source of great joy. Freedom from what, you ask? Condemnation, for one thing. We call ourselves born-again Christians, but we still have a sin nature that is lethal without the saving blood of Jesus Christ.

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. That freedom is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for sinful behavior. Join us now in Romans five, as pastor Lloyd gets us started with today's message from his series called "Essential Christianity".

Today we continue Lloyd's brand new series titled "Essential Christianity". It's a sad fact that there are many people feeling a bit lost and hopeless as we approach the end of 2024. Are you one of those people? One of the most wonderful aspects of having a relationship with Jesus Christ is the enduring and reliable hope we have in our salvation. Our destiny in heaven is a great thing to lean on when times get tough. That's what Lloyd is talking about today as we bring you part two of the first message in our new series
