- 1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
- 2Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
- 3Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
- 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
- 5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
- 6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
- 7And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
- 8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
- 9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
- 10But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
- 11Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
- 12But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
- 13Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
- 14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
- 15And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
- 16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
- 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
- 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
- 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
- 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
- 21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
- 22All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
- 23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
- 24For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
- 25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
- 26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
- 27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
- 28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
- 29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
- 30And Jesus answering said, A certain [ man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
- 31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
- 32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
- 33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
- 34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
- 35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
- 36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
- 37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
- 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
- 39And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
- 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
- 41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
- 42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

The Runaway Train to the Tribulation
Pastor Dean Odle warns that artificial intelligence, surveillance, economic instability, war, and spiritual deception are accelerating the world toward the tribulation described in Scripture. Moving from Matthew 24 and Revelation to the prophets and epistles, he argues that Christians should expect to endure tribulation rather than escape through a pre-tribulation rapture. He calls believers to reject lukewarmness, bring every thought into obedience to Christ, resist the mark of the beast, prepare wisely for disruption, and strengthen themselves through God’s Word. The sermon closes by urging repentance, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to spend eternity with Jesus.

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.

View sermon Love of the Father
In “Love of the Father,” Pastor Dean Odle uses 1 John 2:15-17 to ask a searching question: not merely whether God loves us, but whether we love the Father enough to surrender our own will. Beginning with worship and reflections on fatherhood, he contrasts the Father’s faithfulness with the world’s lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. He argues that Christian identity must be expressed through an ongoing life of obedience, not a profession of faith detached from following Christ.
