Make Time for Jesus

Main message: The sermon teaches that to refuel spiritually and put God first, believers should focus on the “commandment” in Scripture: loving God above all. Pastor Gil gives a practical “CHRIST” acrostic for drawing near to God and letting Him guide daily life.

Key points:

• God’s commandment brings light and helps believers see clearly what to do.
• Put Jesus first by making Him the primary source of life, not just adding Him in occasionally.
• “CHRIST” stands for confessing sin, listening to the Holy Spirit, repeating Scripture, interacting with God in prayer, serving others, and thanksgiving.
• The Holy Spirit guides through Scripture, especially passages like Proverbs, the Lord’s Prayer, and Psalm 23.
• Regular service to family, church, and community is part of living with God at the center.
• Thankfulness helps believers recognize God’s work and the changes they need to make.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 19:7-10, Matthew 22:37-40, Proverbs, Psalm 23, Lord’s Prayer
