The title of the sermon was “The Power of Agreement.” We are free to come into agreement with Christ Jesus everyday. We can say “Yes” to Jesus daily, and we are free to stand for Him in our words and actions; thus you are always on assignment for Jesus. The power of agreement with Jesus puts you in alignment with Him. Pastor Greg read from Mark about the paralyzed man whose four friends carried him to the Lord. These men evaluated the situation, decided the area was too crowded, so they climbed on the roof while carrying their friend. They opened the roof and “lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, ’Son, your sins are forgiven.’” Mark 2:4b-5 “Jesus saw their faith, and He was moved by it.Agreement turns weakness into witness and struggle into strength. The four men were in agreement that their friend needed healing, that Jesus could heal him, and that they could carry him. Pastor Greg posed two pertinent questions for us to ponder. The first one was “Who are you carrying towards Jesus right now?” The second was “When was the last time you let someone carry you?”Several verses discussed the power of two or more. “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV) In the New Testament it says “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (NIV) Also Paul wrote, “We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1 (NIV) We live in community, and when we do, we get to help each other. Agreement is the bridge between brokenness and breakthrough.
