- 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
- 2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
- 3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
- 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
- 5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
- 6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
- 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

The Great Whore (Part 2)
In The Great Whore (Part 2), Pastor Dean Odle argues that Jesus Christ is sufficient as Savior, high priest, intercessor, and the one mediator between God and humanity. Beginning with his own struggle, weakness, and need for grace, he contrasts biblical faith in Christ's blood with religious systems that, in his view, place Mary, saints, priests, sacraments, images, relics, or church tradition between the believer and Christ. First Timothy 2:5-6, Romans 3 and 5, Exodus 20, and Colossians 2 form the message's principal biblical foundation.

In “Wise Counsel,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, spiritual leadership, holiness. Drawing especially from Psalm 119, Proverbs 11, Psalm 33, Psalm 9, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that leaders are accountable to teach faithfully, serve the flock, and model the character they proclaim.

View sermon Leviathan & the Children of Pride
In “Leviathan & the Children of Pride,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about pride and humility, Satanic opposition, the authority of Scripture. Drawing especially from Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Proverbs 21, Genesis 1, the teaching emphasizes that spiritual pride blinds people to correction, while humility receives truth and depends on God. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that Satan’s work is described through deception, accusation, temptation, and opposition to God’s purposes.
