- 1A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
- 2The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
- 3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
- 4The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
- 5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
- 6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
- 7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Sermons
Melchizedek & the Warrior
In “Melchizedek & the Warrior,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about faith, family discipleship, God’s commandments. Drawing especially from 1 Corinthians 14, Revelation 13, Galatians 3, Hebrews 7, the teaching emphasizes that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that faithfulness in the home requires instruction, loving correction, protection, and a consistent Christian example.

View sermon Ephraim Awakening or Apostasy - Torah Observance vs. the Law of Christ
Pastor Dean Odle evaluates the so-called Ephraim awakening and argues that much of the modern Hebrew Roots or Torah-observant movement is apostasy rather than biblical restoration. He examines identity claims connecting Gentile Christians with the lost tribes of Israel, then asks whether the New Testament directs believers to Sinai or to the law of Christ. His controlling concern is that covenant identity and Mosaic practice not replace repentance, faith, and union with Jesus Christ.
