If you want to visit the Hall of Fame of faith - then all you need to do is read Hebrews eleven. That's what we'll do over the next several weeks. Hebrews eleven describes the faith of some of the best known people in the Bible, like Abraham, Noah and Moses. But also some great people of faith you may not be familiar with, like Jephtha and Barak. It's going to be a fascinating and inspirational journey, so open your Bible to Hebrews eleven, as pastor Lloyd brings us today's opening message, called "The Importance of Faith".

Can you think of some divisive people in your church? Sadly, they're all around us. Wherever there are people, there are bound to be problems, and that's even true in the church. Today on Bridging the Gap pastor Lloyd puts the finishing touches on our study of Titus. We join pastor Lloyd now in Titus chapter three.

Our study of Titus takes us to chapter three once again today, and there topic again will be God's wonderful grace. I'm sure you've heard the acronym someone cam e up with for the word grace - God's Riches At Christ's Expense. How true that is! Without God's grace, we would be condemned to hell.

Our study of Titus takes us to the first part of chapter three today. It is not only good - but necessary that we remember what we used to be like before God poured out His Grace upon us. And so as we consider our past condition - we'll be reminded of our present obligation as Christians - to God and others here today.

Pastor Lloyd says that, as believers, we should pattern ourselves after the early church in the Book of Acts. As we'll soon see in our study today, doing these things will lead to a strong church body. There are many churches today that are trying to have a foot in the world, and a foot in God's kingdom at the same time, and it simply doesn't work.

pastor Lloyd's message today will remind us of the wonderful and sure hope we have because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and His miraculous resurrection. Pastor Lloyd has said this often - the resurrection of Jesus is the single most important event in human history. It bridged the gap between sinful man and a perfect God. Where would we be without it?

Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll learn how Christians can make a difference that can "warm things up" or "cool things off" in a wicked society and under an ungodly government.

Old age is an asset, not a liability, despite what our world teaches today. Those who are older in the faith have so much that they've learned about God. Yet, quite often - older people take on a different attitude, like, "It's time to let the younger people do it now, I'll just sit back, do nothing, retire from serving God, and wait till He takes me home." Today pastor Lloyd encourage senior saints to be all that God wants them to be.
