      • In kindergarten, ignoring the rules was a blast – especially if you could get away with it.  But as adults, we understand that rules are for our protection … and that if we break God’s rules, we cause heartache and broken relationships.  In this series, Andy Stanley explains God’s basic set of life rules, which, when lived, hold the power to improve your current relationships and mend hurting ones.  Sessions:  1) Rules of Engagement; 2) Free to Forgive; 3) The Act of Acceptance; 4) It’s Your Serve; 5) The Courage to Encourage; and 6) I Submit.
