1 Corinthians 1:18-22
18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes. 20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
All of God’s promises are guaranteed and confirmed through Jesus Christ, where “yes” represents God’s faithfulness.
The only thing left for us to do in light of the work of the cross, is Respond!!!
Understanding The Power of Agreement.
Definition: To come together and make a bargain; To make a pre- set up appointment, or an agreement; Sumphono; to “symphonize” Jesus wants us to complement one another like a great orchestra.
1. What you agree with determines your behavior.
*2. What you agree with determines your direction.
*
3. Our relationships die or thrive off our agreement.
Amos 3:3 NKJV
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
Any meaningful relationship requires that there is agreement.
Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
4. *We walk in agreement through the power of Prayer. *
Matthew 18:19
19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
**
5. Agreement comes when we walk in unity. **
Psalm 133:1-3 – Where there is unity, God commands a blessing.
When families, churches, and teams walk in agreement, God’s blessing flows.
Disunity blocks blessings and hinders spiritual growth.

** Discussion Questions**
**
1. What does it mean for God’s promises to find their “Yes” in Jesus, and how should that impact our faith and daily decisions?
How does agreement (or lack of agreement) influence our relationships with others, especially within the church and our families?
In what ways can we actively “symphonize” with one another in unity, as Jesus desires, rather than working against each other?
How does walking in agreement with God’s Word shape our prayer life, and why is unity in prayer so powerful?
What are some practical ways we can foster unity in our communities and churches to allow God’s blessings to flow more freely?
