How to Be an Influential Father
Ernest L. Easley
Genesis 6:5-14
Today across America ... we are honoring our Fathers. Since 1922 ... the third Sunday in June has been set aside to pay tribute to our Fathers.
God commands us in Exodus 20.12 to ''honor your father and you mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.''

Psalm 119.11, ''Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.''
Now from Genesis 6 ... I want to show every man this morning how to be an influential Father! If there was ever a generation that needed godly, influential F ...
