Pastor Kevin G. Swann // We're Better TOGETHER! : The RULES of RELATIONSHIPS Pt. 1

We’re Better Together | The RULES of RELATIONSHIPS Pt. 1 Pastor Swann kicks off the year by giving the “cheat code” for the whole theme: the 5 C’s. We’re better together because of: Community Connection Covenant Carry (we carry each other’s burdens) Character If we walk in these all year, we won’t just be people who attend church, we’ll be a community of believers who love, support, and grow together. This message focuses on Covenant and shows why your relationship with Christ is not casual, it’s a binding agreement. And when you understand covenant, you start walking in spiritual authority. But here’s the key: you don’t activate that authority in isolation. Jesus said Heaven moves when we touch and agree. Today’s Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 7:7-8 (NIV) Background text: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 (NIV) and Matthew 12:48-50 (NIV) In this sermon, you’ll learn: What covenant means in the Bible and why it matters The difference between having authority (v.18) and using it (v.19) Why the enemy doesn’t mind you coming to church, as long as you don’t agree What “agree” really means and why Jesus compares it to a symphony Why cliques, gossip, comparison, and unaddressed sin block agreement How agreement unlocks answered prayer and invites Jesus to “show up” (v.20) Prayer moment: Find somebody you can agree with and ask, “How can I pray for you?” Because we’re not doing 2026 alone.
