Be Fruitful & Multiply: Why You Should Have as Many Children as God Allows. Genesis 1:28 [Sermon].

In this expository sermon from Genesis 1:28–31, we examine one of the very first commands ever given to humanity: “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”Why does modern culture increasingly view children as burdens instead of blessings? Has the church been influenced by fear, materialism, and anti-human philosophies? What does the Bible actually teach about motherhood, fertility, family, and raising covenant children?In this expositional sermon, we discuss:• The blessing of children in Scripture• God’s command to fill the earth• Why creation was made abundant, not scarce• The modern fear of overpopulation and depopulation• Whether Christians should hesitate to bring children into a fallen world• The selfishness of radical individualism• Trusting God’s provision for families• Psalm 127 and children as arrows in the hand of a warrior• Raising children in the discipline and instruction of the LordThis message is both theological and deeply practical for Christians navigating modern cultural pressures surrounding family, marriage, children, and discipleship.📖 Text: Genesis 1:28–31🎙️ Preached by Dr. Matthew Everhard📅 May 10, 2026If this sermon encouraged or challenged you:👍 Like the video💬 Comment your thoughts below📌 Subscribe for weekly Reformed preaching, theology, church history, apologetics, and biblical worldview content.#Genesis1 #ChristianFamily #MothersDay #ReformedTheology #Presbyterian #BibleSermon #Creation #Psalm127 #BiblicalWorldview #ChristianParenting
