You'll be asked to consider the shape of your heart on Bridging the Gap, as Lloyd Pulley resumes his study of the beatitudes. Today Lloyd examines the beatitude, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God". You'll find it in Matthew chapter five in verse eight.

Lloyd Pulley is our Bible teacher, and today he continues his study of the beatitudes, found in Matthew chapter five. These powerful verses give us God's pattern for happy living. One of the characteristics of Kingdom Dwellers is mercy. Lloyd will suggest today four ways that mercy is demonstrated.

Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue our series in the beatitudes with a study on the topic of mercy. We'll see the meaning of mercy, and how it is shown, as we look at Matthew five, verse seven. A lot of people get mercy confused with justice and that's sad, because they are two very different things!

At the moment of our conversion, the Holy Spirit begins to create a hunger and a thirst for righteousness. Today on Bridging the Gap, we continue Lloyd's series based on the beatitudes, and we'll take a look at what Jesus had to say on the subject of spiritual hunger and thirst.

We've been examining the beatitudes for the past few days, and today we'll note that the meek will be blessed, and they will inherit the earth. As pastor Lloyd has mentioned many times, meekness has been completely misunderstood as equaling weakness.

I know it sounds like a pure contradiction, but, in God's kingdom at least, the more meek you are, the greater your strength! As Christians we should have a daily goal to be more like Christ - a perfect example of the power of meekness. Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll see how we can be more like Christ as Pastor Lloyd Pulley defines meekness for us and then point to a few of God's people who displayed this trait.

Today on Bridging the Gap, Lloyd Pulley shows us that being poor in spirit will lead us to sorrow over our condition. That sorrow in turn will drive us to God, to turn from sin and repent. Repentance seems to be an unpopular concept in our day.

Today on Bridging the Gap with pastor Lloyd Pulley, we continue our series based on the first twelve verses of Matthew chapter five, also known as the beatitudes. And as we'll soon see, God's prescription for happiness is much different than the world's prescription. With the second beatitude, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted,"

Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll notice the first qualification for entrance into God's Kingdom...becoming "poor in spirit." Pastor Lloyd Pulley just recently started a series based on the Sermon on the Mount, and on today's broadcast we'll observe one of the marks of a true believer - humility.

Last time, Lloyd kicked off a series based on the first twelve verses of Matthew chapter five, known as the Beatitudes. We're quickly noticing that it is a timeless message with outstanding instruction on how we are to live as Christians.
