All Isn’t Enough

Posted on by firstbaptistspringhill in Baptist, dr. gandy, February 2020, first baptist church spring hill, florida, pastor gandy, spring hill, sunday, Uncategorized, worship

This Sunday, Senior Pastor Dr. Eddie Gandy discusses the pursuit of fortune and fame and talks about the problems of life getting in the way of us seeing Jesus. He shares the story of Zacchaeus, a famous and wealthy tax collector who wouldn’t let things get in the way of him seeing Jesus and how his actions not only brought Jesus to his home but also changed him. He reminds us not to discriminate against those who are different and reminds us that when we spend time with Jesus, He will change our priorities, our lives and our whole world.
