What if we discovered what Jesus said is the most important thing—and that actually became the most important thing? That would be a game changer!

Sermon Summary
Many of us are living life at full speed, just trying to stay in front of the calendar and not be buried by business and responsibilities. And in the business of it all, there are many competing voices—social media, entertainment, podcasts, politicians, news agencies, friends, family, and even our own inner voice. Many of these voices seek to influence what will become our top priorities and more importantly, our identity. What if we discovered what Jesus said is the most important thing—and that actually became the most important thing? That would be a game changer! How do we do this? How do we wade through all of the voices and train our hearts to hear Jesus first? Are you willing?
