Bridging The Gap

Have you ever thought of the bible as a piece of spiritual armor? It most certainly is, and that’s why Paul mentioned it in Ephesians six, verse seventeen. Join is there as we turn things over to pastor Lloyd for today’s edition of Bridging the Gap, as he begins with a few words about the deception and the intentional misinterpretation we see in the word of faith movement.

When we think of the word “armor”, we think of things like metal suits and swords and such. But have you ever thought of your bible as a piece of your spiritual armor? It is!When we are attacked by satan, if we rely on the perfect and powerful word of God, what chance does satan have? Let’s join pastor Lloyd, as we consider another part of our spiritual armor - the word of God.

Helmets are a very good piece of protection, and it’s true whether you’re talking about motorcyclists or Christians. Our subject today is a key piece of our spiritual armor - our helmet of salvation. Join us in Ephesians six, verse seventeen. 

I’m sure you seen those gladiator movies on TV, featuring numerous sword fights. If you know what I’m talking about, you know the importance of the shield - it’s the only thing keeping those guys from certain death. So it is with our faith in Jesus Christ. Join us today in Ephesians chapter six, verse sixteen.

There are different shoes for virtually every athletic endeavor. The only one that hasn’t seemed to have changed are those ugly rental shoes at the Bowling Alley! Footwear is important in our spiritual battle as well. So the question must be asked - do you have the right shoes?

Our current series is designed to prepare us for spiritual battle by explaining the armor God has provided for us. Today we’ll look at the Breastplate of Righteousness. Many people don’t even understand what righteousness is - and we need to, because that breastplate is a vital piece of equipment! 

Today pastor Lloyd Pulley will bring us another look at our spiritual armor, as we again seek to be prepared for any attack from satan. Join us in Ephesians six, verses eleven through fourteen as we look at spiritual armor piece number one - being girded in the truth. 

Today we’ll stay in Ephesians six as we continue our series on Spiritual Warfare. Now we all know that one of the key components in winning any battle is to be properly equipped. In our spiritual war with satan, it’s especially important. In Ephesians six, beginning in verse twelve, Paul lays out for us the key pieces of our Godly armor.

There are some Christians who are so absorbed with following God’s rules that they think that obeying rules is all being a Christian is about - and that’s called legalism. It’s one of satan’s favorite schemes. Pastor Lloyd will share some thoughts on legalism today, as we continue our series on spiritual warfare.

Today on Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his look at satan’s schemes to bring us down, and egotism is one of the subjects he’ll cover.

Pastor Lloyd is currently sharing a series on Spiritual Warfare, and we’re looking at satan’s schemes. Think you’re immune from satan’s tricks? Think again!

Genesis chapter one tells of our beginnings, and it’s all about God.  God is the primary cause because He planned it, He is the instrumental cause because He produced it, and He is the final cause because He did it for His own glory.  That comes shining through as we study Genesis one starting with verse three.

Today we continue our series on Spiritual Warfare in Ephesians six, as Lloyd discusses some of the false religions and cults we should be aware of. Lloyd starts today with a look at Mormonism

In Ephesians chapter six, the apostle Paul addressees the schemes of our enemy, satan. Today, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our series on spiritual warfare by looking at those schemes - and the ways we can defeat them. Satan is a very real - and so is the damage he can do to our relationship with God.

 We’ll continue Lloyd’s series on spiritual warfare today, as we once again look at the schemes of our enemy, satan. We need to pay close attention to satan’s schemes, because if we know how he will attack us, we’ll know how to successfully fight back. Where do we turn too ensure we actually know what satan is up to? Well, we have God’s word, and God knows all about what satan will try - and he’ll try just about anything!

Knowing what your competition is up to is a great advantage. Did you know that satan has plans for our undoing? But if we understand satan’s methods ahead of time, we stand a much better chance of success. Lloyd Pulley’s message is a strategy session on how to beat satan!

Whether you’re an Astronaut, an Auto Mechanic, or even an Anesthesiologist, you have a list of essential items you must have in order to succeed. The same thing is true for the Christian. We’re in a spiritual battle every day of our lives, and our enemy is satan. What’s on the essential equipment list for our battle against our greatest enemy? 

For the Christian, we have a war we fight every day - a spiritual war. Today we begin a series in Ephesians six, centered around  spiritual warfare. Satan is a crafty foe, but God supplies everything we need for a successful battle.

What would life be without friends? Not too exciting to think about, is it?  Paul had some people in his life who meant a great deal to him, and as we close the epistle of Second Timothy, Paul takes time to mention them.

Today we’ll observe some of the apostle Paul’s final recorded words in scripture. Paul certainly had an ability to save some of his best words for the end of his epistles, and Second Timothy is no exception.
