In this final week of the series, Rules of Engagement, Pastor Brian challenges us to fight on the highest level against the real enemy in our relationships: Satan. The spiritual realm has a greater influence on our relationships than physical circumstances. We must wield the sword of the Spirit, the shield of faith, and the victory found in prayer.

This week, Pastor Brian teaches us to fight for understanding in our relationships. Being heard is common, but being understood is rare. Real understanding leads to real appreciation & value. 1) Be fully present. 2) Seek the feelings behind their words. 3) Stop planning your response. 4) Recognize the reflection of Christ in them.

This week, Pastor Brian shares Rule #3: Fight Upward. The original pure form of any relationship was designed to be three = 2 people + God. Our earthly relationships are life-giving and strongest when our heavenly relationship with Him comes first.

This week, Pastor Brian shares the second Rule of Engagement as to Fight Clean. Are your words true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind? 

The kickoff to a new five-week series, this week, Pastor Brian shares the first Rule of Engagement as "fight for the relational WIN" through selflessness through five practical keys to living selflessly as:

1. Pick your battles

2. Only fight battles that gain ground.

3. In the battle, don’t lose sight of the war.

4. Just because you can does not mean you should.

5. When one person wins and the other loses, the relationship loses.

This Easter, Pastor Brian answers the question of "WHY?" and shares why Jesus had to willingly die and why Jesus' blood was required for the forgiveness of sins.

As we approach Easter, Pastor Brian asks, "Do we truly comprehend His suffering?" The crowd expected a crown of gold for their king, but Jesus chose a crown of thorns. Pastor Brian shares these main points this week: Jesus suffered while no one believed. Jesus suffered through humility. Jesus suffered in total rejection. Jesus suffered in place of me. Jesus suffered for my guilt. Jesus suffered in silent strength. He willingly steps into my suffering so I can willingly step into His salvation.

In this final sermon of the Trades series, Pastor Brian asks two questions as we share our Testimony:

1. What have I done with Jesus?
2. What have I done with my story?

This week, Pastor Brian asks, "How would we live if we believed?
our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and is God Lord of your mind, heart, flesh and soul?" 

This week, Pastor Brian shares about the trades we make with our treasure through the stewardship, obedience, sacrifice, location, and value of our treasure.
