On Today's program, pastor Lloyd will again remind us of the importance of worship, and why worship brings us into a closer relationship with God, and with each other. As Robert Horn said - "Worship is the sum total of all our response to God as his children". It's an exciting study to follow - so stay with us for today's edition of Bridging the Gap.

Today on Bridging the Gap we begin a new series from pastor Lloyd Pulley titled "True Worship". Worship is really one of the basics of Christianity, yet we too often forget about it - and we even have trouble understanding what worship actually entails. Pastor Lloyd will cover those topics over the next couple of weeks as we learn how to worship our wonderful God.

Today, pastor Lloyd brings to a close our in depth examination of the Sermon on the Mount. What a journey it's been! The Beatitudes. Lessons on turning the other cheek and family relations. Building our house on a firm foundation. No wonder it's known as the greatest sermon ever preached! Think of how wonderful it would have been to actually be there in person! We have the next best thing, however - we can study the words of Jesus and apply them directly to our everyday lives.

Today on Bridging the Gap we'll begin the final message in pastor Lloyd Pulley's series in the Sermon on the Mount - the greatest sermon ever preached. How did the people who heard it react? How did it change lives? We'll see next, so open your Bible to Matthew chapter seven, as we join Pastor Lloyd.

Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley brings us part two of a message based on Matthew chapter seven, verses twenty four through twenty seven. We'll see that no matter what we may think about our ability to control our own lives, storms will come along. And the only way to survive - indeed to flourish - is to build our house upon the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

When was the last time you had what would be described as a "trial" in your life? Most of us wouldn't have to think too far back to come up with an example. They happen frequently. But what really makes a difference, and really shows how deep our relationship with God is, is how we deal with the trials of life.

One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is forgetting to bring their Christianity along when they leave the house in the morning. That's what pastor Lloyd will address today. Join us in Matthew seven, verses twenty four through twenty seven.

We're nearing the end of our study of the Sermon on the Mount. If you're wondering about the foundation of your faith, Lloyd's message will provide some very timely answers about the proper building materials.

Imagine entering heaven, walking up to Jesus and having Him say, "I have no idea who you are!" That's the scenario we'll discuss today, as we look at Matthew seven, verses twenty-one through twenty-three. There are people today who think they're saved Christians, but will be unknown to Jesus. Want to avoid that possibility for you?

Today we begin a message titled "A False Sense of Security", taken from Lloyd's series on the Sermon on the Mount. One of the proofs of an authentic relationship with Christ is the way you talk - the words you use. But, it goes much further than mere words. We must act like Christians as well.
