Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley Lloyd Pulley

Fasting is an activity that has been around for thousands of years. For the Christians - it has many valuable effects. Lloyd Pulley will remind us today that one of the keys to fasting is doing it for the right reason. Jesus discussed this very topic while delivering the Sermon on the Mount, and His words will receive our attention today on Bridging the Gap.

Today on Bridging the Gap, our sights are set on the practice of fasting - denying our physical appetite to concentrate on our spiritual appetite.  In the sixth chapter of Matthew, Lloyd Pulley has dealt with genuine Christian living as it relates to giving, and prayer. Today he brings fasting into the mix.

When someone hurts us, it’s only natural for us to seek revenge. That’s the problem - it’s our human nature that prevents us from forgiving others! So how can we change that process and be forgiving? Jesus covers this topic during the “Lord’s Prayer” found in Matthew chapter six, verses fourteen and fifteen. 

So often we find ourselves trying to sway God towards our will, which in turn limits God’s working in our lives. Lloyd will share some thoughts about one of the most important aspects of our Christian life - forgiveness. Join us if you can in Matthew chapter six, as we examine verses fourteen and fifteen. 

This week we’ve been exploring the great privilege we have in being able to talk with God - to pour out our concerns and requests. And to enjoy God for who He is.  Too many Christians approach prayer as a “wish list” of things they want God to provide. That is not what God has in mind! 

Where does prayer land on your list of priorities? Now, most of us would put prayer right at the top of the list, but is that where we stop? Do we say we are going to make prayer a priority, and then just forget about it? A lot of Christians fall into that trap, and today, pastor Lloyd will remind us of the wonderful gift God gave us that enables us to communicate with Him.
