04/27/2025 - “The Power of One Accord” - Rev. Bernette Lee Jones
Title: The Power of One Accord
Scripture: May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:5-6 NIV
Lesson Points:
1. ” One of life’s great gifts is to be in spiritual partnership with a divinely appointed team of likeminded others, have Spirit assign the team to a great cause, and achieve it – in whole or in part.” *
2. “Great responsibility rests upon those who sit at the table of leadership. At that table, respect and appreciation has a chance to grow through the trials, issues and experiences shared.”*
3. “The true gift of service is to own it as a blessing to give of time, talent, and treasure to further the work of the Christ presence at the table, in the ministry, and in the world.”*
4. “A union of many minds on a good thought is like a company of men (people) lifting a weight by all exerting themselves at the same time. They do not stop to argue or question. When the” heave ho!” is given they lift with one accord, and up goes the burden.” 1908 Unity Magazine
5. “With one accord, unified by the grace of God, we at OGOT join with likeminded spiritual communities around the world upholding a sacred trust of health, happiness, peace and prosperity on earth, as it is in heaven.”*
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away… Revelation 21:1 NIV
