Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley

We've just begun a series titled "Basic Christian Living", and today we will be in John fifteen. In this chapter, Jesus explains to His apostles the nature of His relationship with the Father and, in doing so, reveals the ideal relationship between the Father and us. We are the branches and Jesus is the true vine. We are to abide in Him. Just exactly what does that mean?

We are living in the end times. I'm sure you've heard someone say that. How do we know? How do we know that the return of Jesus is just around the corner? Current events certainly compel us to think so. Pastor Lloyd will share his thoughts on the state of the world today, and how it relates to the return of Jesus. It's a fascinating look at the world in 2026.

Today we'll begin a series from pastor Lloyd, titled "Basic Christian Living". I think you'll agree that we sometimes complicate our walk with God with doctrinal arguments, and other assorted things, so getting back to the basics sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? One of the basic aspects of our life as believers is the belief that Jesus is coming back - and coming back soon. It's going to be a glorious and triumphant moment when it happens.

Today we bring to a close, pastor Lloyd's series on spiritual warfare, titled "Spiritual Warfare 101". The final aspect of our spiritual armor that Paul discussed in Ephesians six was prayer. Now, I realize that prayer isn't necessarily connected with spiritual warfare, but if you understand what pryer is supposed to bee then it makes perfect sense that communicating with God is a great way to combat our spiritual enemy.

Paul ends his instruction on spiritual warfare by imploring the Ephesians to pray. That shows us what a powerful weapon prayer really is! Too often, we see prayer as an opportunity to vent our frustrations with life, or to present God a list of material requests. This is NOT what prayer is supposed to be about.

Today, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our series on spiritual warfare by looking a couple of very important pieces of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, and the ways we can use them to defeat our enemy. Satan is a very real - and so is the damage he can do to our relationship with God.

Pastor Lloyd will take us to Ephesians six, verse seventeen, where we discover two very important parts of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. One is a defensive item - a helmet, but the other is an offensive weapon - the sword.

On today's program we continue our series on spiritual warfare with a message based on Ephesians chapter six, verse sixteen. In this verse, Paul mentions the "shield of faith". Exactly what is Paul talking about here? Well, we all know that in ancient times, a shield is pretty much the only thing that stood between a soldier and certain death. Our shield of faith serves the same purpose, from a spiritual point of view.

Shoes are a source of great pride for some folks, but today Lloyd will be talking about the very important aspect of our battle with satan - having our feet shod in the preparation of the gospel of peace.
