In this special Father's Day sermon, Pastor Babij examines Paul's ministry to the Thessalonians in 1 Thessalonians 2:9-12 as a model for spiritual fathers raising up spiritual sons. Pastor Babij identifies four vital characteristics of a spiritual father's responsibility to both teach and model godliness for his children:

1. A Spiritual Father's Work (v. 9)
2. A Spiritual Father's Walk (v. 10)
3. A Spiritual Father's Words (v. 11)
4. A Spiritual Father's Worship (v. 12)
