WEEK 1 | APRIL 18TH | Part 29 -The Power of Submission and Varying Degrees of Authority in Relationships
There is great power in submission within the varying degrees of authority that God has placed in relationships. Because the concept of “submission” is designed by the God of the Universe, we can find rest and security when we participate; knowing our ability to flourish in all relationships is guaranteed, no matter the circumstances. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon lays a biblical foundation for this ground-breaking truth of the spirit-filled life as the prerequisite for future topics like marriage, parenting, family, singlehood/widowed life, and more as the series continues.

WEEK 2 | APRIL 25TH | Part 30 - Spirit-Filled Marriages Segment & Biblical Foundations
Marriage; is it necessary or obsolete for intimate relationships? Should you personally take a step towards marriage or stay single? What about divorce; should you remarry or can your marriage be restored? And what about the widow? What are they supposed to do? These are questions that all people wrestle with at some point in their life. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon gives a biblical exhortation that lays the foundation to answer each of these challenging questions as we explore the “true” purpose of a spirit-filled marriage?

WEEK 3 | MAY 2ND | Part 31 - Marriage, Family, & Life in Light of Eternity
We all have needs…not just wants...but specific and inherent needs relationally; we were designed by God that way. So what is God’s way of helping us fulfill them? After laying a firm foundation on spirit-filled marriages, this sermon looks to enlarge the conversation out from marriage—to the family unit and the purpose-driven responsibilities that the entire family unit has towards that end. The concept of living towards...or...‘in light of’ eternity is introduced as the central aim of God; with sound biblical reasoning and practical application for you to begin implementing in your life today.

WEEK 4 | MAY 9TH | Part 32 - Children, Parents & Their Spirit-filled Responsibilities - Segment A (Children Follow Your Godly Parents)
The dynamics between a parent and a child can be filled with joy, laughter, sorrow, pain, frustration…and let’s be honest, a whole lot of scratching of one’s head. Truly, the complexities of raising a child run far and wide. So with no self-help book with all the answers, we turn to God’s perfect Word as the one and only true authority on God’s design for this covenantal relationship between a child and their parents. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon discusses Paul’s exhortation for a child to obey and honor their parents and provides a warning and practical help for the young person devoid of a godly atmosphere. * If your children ages 10 and up aren’t participating in this series already, we strongly recommend including them on today’s sermon.

WEEK 5 | MAY 16TH | Part 33 - Children, Parents & Their Spirit-filled Responsibilities - Segment B (Parents, Disciple Your Children)
Let’s face it, parenting is difficult. Very difficult. Just when we think we know what we’re doing, something else slaps us in the face and reminds us we’re completely lost. In today’s sermon, Pastor Brandon guides parents on a deep dive on what spirit-filled leadership looks like within the home and the impact of that on a child’s life. Biblical warnings of what to avoid and what to lean in to are given with powerful, practical, and clear examples. A special segment is dedicated to the importance of the father-figure relationship of a man and his children. This is a sermon you don’t want to miss. * If your children ages 10 and up aren’t participating in this series already, we strongly recommend including them on today’s sermon.

WEEK 6 | MAY 23RD | Part 34 -The Atoms, The Universe, and Submission in The Workplace...And How It All Counts
Did you know that we all matter and that everything counts? Yep. Each and every person is radically significant to God’s plan and the smallest of our actions mean the most to God. These truths become quintessential when we leave our homes and enter the workplace as “bondservants” to our company or organization. In a generation that elevates ‘self’ before others...and in a generation that abuses authority over those less empowered, how do we enter the work field with kingdom intentionality each and every day? When adversity and injustice occurs, how are we to respond? Join Pastor Brandon as he takes you on a ‘galactitol and cosmic journey’ through the dynamic relationship between employers and employees and how God can reign supreme throughout it all.
