About this illustration

Pasture, valley, table, and dwelling are combined as a coherent journey; no bodily portrait of the divine Shepherd appears.

Scripture basis: Psalms 23:1–6
  1. 1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  2. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
  3. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
  4. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
  5. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
  6. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

No Looking Back

Pastor Dean Odle uses an old family plow to illustrate Jesus’s warning in Luke 9:62 about following Him without looking back. Beginning with Romans 8 and John 10, he argues that discipleship requires continually hearing Christ’s voice, resisting the flesh, and surrendering self-will. He examines the excuses in Luke 14, shares personal accounts of ministry decisions, correction, and restoration, and turns to 1 John 2 and Proverbs 3 to urge trust in God’s direction. The sermon closes with warnings drawn from Lot’s wife and the parable of the talents, calling listeners to examine their faith, abide in Christ, and move forward in obedient, fruitful service.

The Book of Enoch (Part 4)

In The Book of Enoch (Part 4), Pastor Dean Odle presents Enoch’s visions as an ancient prophetic witness to Jesus Christ—the Elect One, Righteous One, Son of Man, and Anointed One. He compares passages from 1 Enoch 39–62 with Genesis, Hebrews, Isaiah, the Gospels, Paul’s letters, and Revelation. Odle argues that Enoch anticipates Christ’s preexistence, wisdom, saving name, resurrection of the righteous, heavenly dwellings, the defeat of Satan, the judgment of rulers, and the final separation of the righteous from the wicked.

Carr connects that foundation with the conviction that believers are urged to remain sober, alert, prayerful, and ready amid spiritual danger.
