Raising Young Champions for God
Ernest L. Easley
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
You can raise a young champion for God! That's what this weekend is all about: learning more about raising young champions for God. And Dads … it starts with us!

There are some things every Father needs to know when it comes to raising young champions for God and there are some things every student and child needs to know if you are to become a young champion for God.
In fact it takes a team effort. It takes an equipped Father and a corporative child. Dads … your children need to KNOW that you're trying to raise them to become young champions for God. That's one reason we've encouraged them to be here tonight.
Now if you have a Bible with you turn with me to Deuteronomy 6. That's where we're going to begin as we think together about Raising Young Champions for God.
God is preparing the children of Israel for entering the land of Canaan. God knew that the families would be exposed to all kind of godlessness and paganism. So God gives the parents a word of instruction to help them ra ...
