- 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
- 2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
- 3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
- 4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
- 5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
- 6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
- 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
- 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
- 9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
- 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
- 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
- 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
- 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
- 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
- 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
- 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
- 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
- 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
- 19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
- 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
- 21But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
- 22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
- 23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

The Power of the Word of God
In “The Power of the Word of God,” Pastor Dean Odle teaches that Scripture is living, powerful, and intended for active use. Beginning with Hebrews 4:12 and Hebrews 5:14, he connects spiritual maturity and discernment with repeated obedience to the Word. Jesus’ temptation in Luke 4 supplies the central pattern: Christ answers the devil by speaking Scripture accurately and in context. Odle therefore calls believers to read the Bible aloud, resist the devil steadfastly, remove spiritual footholds, and judge supernatural claims by Scripture rather than emotion or spectacle.

View sermon The Resistance
In “The Resistance,” Pastor Dean Odle presents Ephesians 6:10-18 as a direct call for Christians to recognize and actively oppose spiritual powers rather than drift into passivity. He argues that the conflict is intimate—touching thoughts, homes, relationships, churches, and public life—and that believers must answer it through submission to God, persistent prayer, Scripture, corporate fellowship, discernment, and the authority of Jesus Christ. James 4:7, Luke 10:19, Hebrews 10:25, John 10:10, and related passages reinforce the message’s central appeal.

In The Book of Enoch (Part 3), Pastor Dean Odle answers critics of Enoch and argues that its account of the Watchers and their giant offspring complements rather than contradicts the canonical Bible. Beginning with objections about the origin of sin, the title “Son of man,” bound angels, the Flood, and intercession, he urges Christians to examine claims in context instead of repeating inherited objections. He then connects Jesus’ answer to the Sadducees in Matthew 22 with Enoch 15, presenting Enoch as background for the teaching that heavenly angels are not appointed wives.
