What final words would you leave to shape the faith and direction of your children for a lifetime?

Drawing from David’s last instruction to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:9, this message emphasizes four enduring priorities to pass on to the next generation:

deeply knowing God (not merely acknowledging Him),
wholeheartedly serving Him,
living with right motives that please God rather than self or others, and
actively seeking Him with the promise that He will be found.

Through Scripture, illustration, and personal reflection, this study challenges believers to examine their relationship with God, reminding us that spiritual growth and blessing flow from intentional pursuit and obedience—and that we are always only as close to God as we choose to be.

So if your life and legacy were distilled into a single message, would it point others toward truly knowing, serving, and seeking God?

I Chronicles 28 9: "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, he will let you find Him. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever."
