In the sermon titled 'How to Schedule Your Life,' Jason Dohm emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the local church when planning one's life. He argues that the church should be scheduled before other activities, highlighting its critical role for both individuals and the church community. Dohm describes a bi-directional need: families need the church, and the church needs families. He suggests that this prioritization should be communicated not only verbally but through actions that clearly indicate the church's significance. Furthermore, Dohm underscores the importance of the church by reminding listeners that Jesus sacrificed for it, thus affirming its central role in a Christian's life.

Local church should be something that we schedule most other things around, not fit in after we've scheduled the other things. So when you're scheduling your life, you're planning your life, You have to decide what are the most important things, and then you have to make sure they get their due, and then you add on the other things around them. Local church should be one of a very, very, very short list of things that you make sure it gets its due because you need it and because the local church needs us. So there's this bi-directional sense of need. Me and my family need the local church, but the local church needs my family too.

So It should be a priority. It should occupy a big spot in our family. And we should communicate that it's important Jesus actually died for the church. So we should communicate that it's important not just by talking on and on about it, but by orienting our lives in ways that communicates this is a priority for us.
