- 1A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
- 2For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
- 3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
- 4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
- 5He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
- 6This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
- 7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
- 8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
- 9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
- 10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

The Heart of Mankind - Part 4: The Pure Heart
In this fourth message, Pastor Dean Odle defines a pure heart as one unmixed with cherished falsehood, hypocrisy, deceit, or divided allegiance. Hebrews 12 and Matthew 5 frame the urgency: holiness is necessary to see the Lord, and the pure in heart are blessed because they shall see God. The sermon repeatedly connects purity with truthful speech, sincere love, a good conscience, genuine faith, and diligent guardianship of the inner life.

In “When God’s Favor Doesn’t Look Like Favor,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about family discipleship, the condition of the heart, prayer. Drawing especially from Luke 1, Matthew 1, Genesis 6, Genesis 12, the teaching emphasizes that faithfulness in the home requires instruction, loving correction, protection, and a consistent Christian example. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that the inner life must be healed, guarded, and brought under the truth of God’s word.
