On today's program we begin a new series from pastor Lloyd called "Christian Growth and Development". When you think about our relationship with God, wouldn't you agree that it's important to be growing? There are too many people who think that once they become a Christian, that's all there is to it. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we'll find over the next several of weeks. Today we'll begin by looking at a couple of key verses from Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

Today we'll wrap up Lloyd's series on sharing the gospel, titled "Eternal Influence". As we bring you the final message in this series, let me remind you that there is a great opportunity to share right now, with our country and the world in complete turmoil.

You and I never know when an opportunity will come up to share the good news of salvation through Christ, so, as the Boy Scouts say, we should "be prepared". But we also need to approach those opportunities with the right attitude and tone. Our country is in desperate need of a change of heart, and the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ is what can make that change. That's what today's message is all about - sharing the gospel the right and effective way.

Despite what some new age rock star pastors will tell you, there is a literal place called hell, and it's the eternal destination of everyone who those who reject the free gift of salvation through faith in Christ. How dare I make such a bold statement? Well... it's what God says in His word - repeatedly. So how can we get the important message of saving faith in Christ to the unsaved around us without being too pushy and driving them away?

We're going to begin a four day look at evangelism today, and it's a series that is of the utmost importance. With our country in upheaval, there's never been a time when the good news of salvation through Christ has been more needed. And I know you have loved ones who are unsaved. How do we reach these people without offending them or alienating them? John chapter four will be our focus. The way Jesus approached and shared with the woman at the well serves as a great model for us.

Many religions today purport to tell the truth and many people believe them - and turns out to be a lie. As we consider heaven and hell today, it's important for us to remember that there is only one truth - the truth found in God's word. Heaven is a real and wonderful place. Hell is a real and terrible place. How do we get to heaven? Does God really send people to hell? These are common questions today, and pastor Lloyd is here to answer them.

There is only one truth about heaven - and it's also the truth about hell. Hell is a real place just like heaven is, and the Bible spells the truth out simply and perfectly. Today pastor Lloyd begins the final message in his series titled "Every Day Theology". We're going to hear today the truth about heaven and hell, and the one and only way to be sure you'll spend eternity with the Lord.

False teachers abound in today's world. Whether they're disguised in a slick media package like Oprah, or a much more subtle deception like we see popping up from time to time, they're equally dangerous. The true gospel message is a very simple message - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. He bridged the gap between man and God by dying on a cross, and through faith in Him, we are saved. Simple. Our message from pastor Lloyd today is titled "Sin and Salvation".

As Americans, we enjoy a unique brand of freedom. Our free society is the reason some people go to such extraordinary lengths to come here to live. But can freedom be taken too far? Absolutely, and you can see it all around us today. The mind set seems to be "you can't tell me what or what not to do, this is America!" We all know what results from this kind of thinking. Today pastor Lloyd will again urge us to resist the temptations of this world we live in, and to seek truth and freedom in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is sharing a great series called "Every Day Theology". For the last several broadcasts, we've been considering the power of the Holy Spirit, and His role in our lives as Christians. Lloyd will share some more truths today concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are those who say you're not really a saved Christian unless you display these gifts. there are those who say the gifts of the Spirit are not even relevant anymore. Who's right? Who's wrong? God's word is where we'll go for the answers, so join us.
