WILL I HEAR?

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

This Sunday, Senior Pastor Dr. Eddie Gandy talks about our tendency to ignore what God tells us and cites the example of Korah. He also reminds us that God revives us, that we need to be revived and that when the people are revived, the nation becomes revived. Below is prerecorded video and audio of this past Sunday’s sermon along with links to the verses that are being discussed.

TEXT: Psalm 85

Introduction: Background for Psalm 85

I. What God Has Already Done?: Vss. 1-3

II. Prayer for Remaining Afflictions: Vss. 4-7:

III. Hope in His Promises: Vss. 8-13

Conclusion: Proverbs 3:6 Will We Hear Him?

New members classes are normally held on the 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month. Please sign up and confirm ahead of time by contacting our church office Monday through Friday between 9am and 1pm.

Operation Christmas Child: We have done a great job collecting items for the boxes. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. Please see Jean Hendry for any questions about what else is needed. Please see our calendar for information on prep and packing dates.

Our monthly Food Pantry will be held on November 24th from 9:30am until noon. We need volunteers so if you are interested, please see Meg or Joel Wissmueller. October’s Food Pantry saw 40 families and 116 individuals.

In December we will be collecting for Lottie Moon. Your generosity transforms lives around the world. An undecorated tree will be placed on the stage. For every $25 dollars collected an ornament will be placed on the tree. Our goal is to raise at least $1000 and put at least 40 ornaments on the tree. Why give to this cause? “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). Every day 154,937 people die without Christ. That’s why we need to support our missionaries!

Guest Speaker

Posted on by firstbaptistspringhill in 2020, August 2020, Baptist, first baptist church spring hill, florida, Guest Speaker, in prospect, spring hill, sunday, Uncategorized

Sunday, August 9, First Baptist Church of Spring Hill will host a guest speaker from the International Mission Board, who will be sharing his missionary experiences with us.  

The International Mission Board (IMB) helps finance the missionaries who go around the world to share the Gospel message.  Part of the money we donate each week to our local church goes to the Florida Baptist Convention Cooperative Program, who donates part of the proceeds it receives from the Baptist churches throughout Florida to the IMB. When the Lottie Moon collection is done at Christmas time, all of those funds go to IMB.  Last year alone, $13,216,042 was raised through the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon collection. 

How was this money used?

  • 13,898 churches were planted overseas.
  • 3692 IMB missionaries were helped.
  • 847 people groups engagement with the IMB personnel.
  • 18,428 Pastors were trained overseas. 

But, there are still 3176 people groups that need to be reached.  

Unfortunately, missionaries can face risks in the regions they serve, so for security reasons, we will not be posting this weeks service; however, our Pastor will pre-record a message to be shown during our regular service time slot on Sunday.

Thank you.
