The greatest desire of our heavenly Father is for "godly offspring" to be part of His expanding Family (Malachi 2:14-15). This sermon focuses on the parent-child relationship, but many of the principles apply to other relationships as well. Even with the best parenting, evil influences sometimes pull children away from the church, but parents should do the best job they possibly can. The sermon presents 14 keys. The first key--greatly love your children with unconditional love--will be covered much more thoroughly in another sermon in the near future.
