Unit one
A God of Example Genesis 1:26
¨Then God said: Let us make man in our image, according to
our likeness; and rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky,
in the beasts, in all the earth, and in every animal that crawls on the
land
God from the beginning has been a God of example and worthy of imitation, in the
reading of genesis 1:26 is making mention of doing something or creating something and
that something is man.
Let's analyze the expression ¨Hagamos¨, it is a Plural expression (several) we can
see that God is not alone in creation and is involving others,
plural implies more than one, who will be these companions of God in the
creation?
Genesis 1: 2 Who is this passage referring to?
______________________________
Colossians 1: 15-20 To whom do these passages refer?
_____________________
We see then that the creator of the universe and the human race was not alone
there were two more with Him.
In the opening passage of genesis we find no objection to making the
man, no one opposed, no one contradicted God's vision to make the
man in his image and likeness.
They have always "agreed" not that God is an Authoritarian God or
Arrogant, He exposed the proposal said: let's do it, he could have said I'm going
do. But he made the invitation to the son and the Holy Spirit, which they could
have suggested something, but they saw that what was going to be done would be to image and
similarity, there would be no reason to object if the vision was good.
Who are those who bear witness in heaven according to 1. John 5: 7______________________,________________________ Y
The ___________________
Who are the three who bear witness on earth, according to 1. John 5: 8
_____________________, _____________________ Y
__________________________
and these _____________________ agree.
After knowing what we have studied, we realize that the work of
God here on earth has failed to understand the Power that is in the
agreement, without just understanding that everything in the beginning started with a
agreement between three.
We would understand that many times the church has failed to advance in many
projects due to the lack of agreement and that has limited the church to see the power
of God manifest here on earth.
As long as we children of God continue to think each one for his own benefit,
or because of their way of thinking, we will never be able to surpass other religions and even
defeat the darkness, because the more we disagree the more
we'll be speaking the language of the enemy (devil, satan)
Disagreement divides, agreement unites.
Disagreement stops, agreement advances.
If we all see a project from our own perspective we will never
we will achieve nothing, but if we all see that what is done is for the kingdom of
God, the church in the world no one will stop her.
But today there are many Christians with "Mental strengths." And
¨Paradigmas¨ which are those that impede development in the projects of the
ministries, companies and even in homes.
What is a fortress? They are strongly held negative thoughts
in the person's mind, the enemy's battlefield is the mind, there
It is where the enemy manages to put negative thoughts and base them
to blind understanding
What is a Paradigm? The concept paradigm is derived from the Greek word
¨paradeigma¨, is used as a synonym for example. Or for reference
to something that is taken as a ¨model¨, a person when he shows paradigms
is the one that stayed with a model or way of doing things,
permanently or repeatedly, and that leads to not being innovative.
now that we know that they are mental fortresses and paradigms we can
better understand and understand the passage from Mark 2: 21-22
What wineskin are you really? New wineskin ________ old wineskin_______
The old wineskin is one that is not willing to change or to know the new.
The new wineskin is always ready for changes, innovation,
challenges, challenges, everything that makes it better every day.
Marketing studies say the world is changing every six
months, and church projects should happen every three months,
innovation is not religion it is vision.
The lack of agreement in the church has stopped doing new things, many
Churches are still doing the same thing they started 20, 30 or 40 years ago.
Because there are people who say it is that we did it since I was a child and
today they are over 40 years old. The repetitive becomes obsolete, old and past
fashionable, the church must be updated and know the times, this does not want
say that we must bring the world to church but if there must be a
motivational strategy for the new generations, they will not sing what
you and I sang or will do what you and I did. (1. Chronicles 12:32)
Application:

Unit two
Let's do a
Name
Genesis 11: 1-9
God is a God of unity, teamwork, and of the same Spirit,
then because he did not see the project of the construction of that tower with pleasure.
Let's analyze this biblical account and understand God's position and
Let's apply it to our life and our environment (what surrounds us)
The texts of genesis 11: 1-4 show us a social context, this wants
say that those verses speak of a nascent and growing society. TO
At the same time they link to Genesis 10: 25,30-32 let's read those verses.
It is worth mentioning and emphasizing that genesis 11: 1 is linked to genesis 10:31
In the first text it says that the whole earth had only one language.
In the second verse (first-context) it says: by their tongues, in their
land.
A language is not the same as languages: axis. language is Spanish.
language means: different words within the same language.
This leads us to the conclusion that in that region everyone spoke the same
language and the same language.
So it shows that they agreed.
Tell your brother, let's agree to speak the same language, the
language of God.
The social context introduces us to a cultural context, where the
Language and culture, where you are from is not like where I am from. There it
begins to expose an intercultural problem between the church today in this
nation.
Let's study the causes for building that tower:
Genesis 11: 1-4
1.One language and the same words.
2. They settled in a land. (they found a plain, Geographical position
good)
3. They said: let's make brick, they agreed on what they wanted.
4. They said: let's build a city and a tower.
5.Objective: whose cusp reaches the sky and let's make a name for ourselves.
The aforementioned points show us an environment or context of a
society, a group of people in mutual agreement to achieve something for the
benefit of all.
What could be wrong with this project if they agreed and that is
very important to be successful at the group level.
Causes why God stopped the project. Genesis 11: 5-9
God descended, down to see the project that although it had a good attitude,
there was bad Purpose.
(descended genesis 18:21)
2 Jehovah said: behold, the people are one, and all these have one language,
and nothing will make them give up now what they have begun to do.
3. Said the Lord: Now let’s go down, invite your team of
work, the expression of let's do is repeated, according to genesis 1:26
The direct causes why God did not see this agreement with good eyes
That seemed good but was bad at the same time was the following.
A. When it is intended to do something to boast and glory.
B. When those things take a place in our life and not God.
C. We are free to develop but not to displace God from our
lifetime.
D. They had formed a social nucleus without God being the center of their lives.
What towers have you built in your life? Name at least five.
Group work: Discuss Numbers 16: 1-3, 8-11, 31-35, the agreement and
Describe why God did not like that agreement, was it good? Or was it bad?
Personal application: what teaching gives to your life numbers 16: 1-3. 8-11
the previous passages teach us that there are agreements that seem good but
its end is bad for your life. Proverbs 14:12
Unit Three
"Together in Agreement"
Amos 3: 3
Will two be together, if they don't agree?
Let's analyze this verse together, it is not a normal prayer, it is a question,
what would be your answer to this question? Yes or no _____
Now let's discuss some views on that answer yes or no, many
they walk in disagreement, but they never manage to advance properly.
The current language translation reads: Amos 3: 3 ¨If two people are together
it is because they agree¨
That would be the correct prayer that if we walk together we agree,
have you ever disagreed with your pastors. Yes ____ no ___ all
weather ______
With your leaders.
Yes ___ no ___ all the time ____
With your boss. Yes ___ no __ all the time ____
With your wife. Yes ___ no ___ all the time ____
Many churches have succumbed (failed) because they were ruled by a
spirit of division, inequality, and individualism, and not by the Glorious
Holy Spirit of God, when you can never agree on one of the
parties is not involved the Holy Spirit, morning star came in a
moment that he did not want to agree with God, and that led him to occupy
a place of disqualification for their attitude and rebellion.
When disagreement rules more in a church, the Christian should
examine yourself for taking an unpleasant attitude before God.
1 John 3: 8-12 Disagreement is a characteristic of the devil, from the
moment that he wanted to be equal to God and usurp his throne showed
according to your Lord.
Disagreeing on some things does not mean that you are from the enemy
or that you are in rebellion, many times what is being shared is not shared
exposing, but this is where the Christian must analyze and be wise that
sometimes we have to sacrifice our ideals, for the benefit of the God's Kingdom.
Remember what that famous comedian Bill Cosby said.
¨I do not know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone
world
A true leader must know this concept, the sheep or leaders must know that the leader will not be able to please all the ideas but will have to take
some ideas and carry them out, to reach an agreement for the benefit of the kingdom
of God.
Genesis 5:24 "So Enoch walked with God, and he disappeared, because God took him."
To walk in agreement with men you must first walk
According to God, when man is not able to walk with God, have the security that you will never agree with.
Genesis 5:23 ¨And there were all the days of Enoch, resciennos sixty-five years¨.
It should be revealed that the years that Enoch lived, symbolize the three hundred and sixty-
five days of the year, this is how he walked every day of his life with God, the daily live.
Marriages have failed because they could never agree, companies have been closed or stalled, because their leaders were never achieved
agree.
Agreement is powerful and the Bible teaches us to agree.
