Today we start a new sermon series on, Living a life that Counts! It is based on the life of Zacchaeus in Luke 19: 1-10. When I awake each day, I am excited to serve the Lord! It's the best work in the world! I do less stupid things with being so close to the Lord. The story of Zacchaeus is so very inspiring! It was not easy being one of the most hated and shortest men in the city, but Zacchaeus the tax collector had learned how to handle it. His life was characterized by dishonesty and greed. He had not only collected taxes from the people of his hometown, he had also added an extra tariff for himself. Listen now how Jesus turned the life of Zacchaeus around!
