CHAPTER VISUAL

Psalms 92 — Sabbath praise celebrates steadfast love, deep works, the fall of evil, and righteous lives still fruitful in old age.

About this illustration

Morning and evening praise share one garden court; the KJV “unicorn” is not literalized as a mythical animal.

Scripture basis: Psalms 92:1–15
  1. 1A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
  2. 2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
  3. 3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
  4. 4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
  5. 5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
  6. 6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
  7. 7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
  8. 8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
  9. 9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
  10. 10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
  11. 11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
  12. 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
  13. 13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
  14. 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
  15. 15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Passports

In “Passports,” Pastor Dean Odle sets aside a planned teaching for a ministry-centered service focused on encountering Jesus Christ, repentance, prayer, healing, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. After extended worship, he recounts his childhood encounter with Christ and the conversion of an Australian atheist at the Garden Tomb, arguing that biblical truth and the manifest presence of God belong together. Using Thomas’s doubt and Elisha’s prayer for his servant in 2 Kings 6, Odle urges young people and other hearers to take a deliberate step toward Christ so their spiritual eyes may be opened.

Wells Without Water

Dean Odle uses Peter’s image of ‘wells without water,’ Israel’s golden calf, and Nadab and Abihu’s strange fire to warn against churches that retain a religious appearance while withholding repentance, truth, holiness, and the fear of God. He argues that seeker-sensitive methods, unconditional security, prosperity teaching, and tolerated immorality can attract crowds yet leave people spiritually dry and exposed to judgment.

God's Supernatural Preservation of His Holy Scriptures

In “God's Supernatural Preservation of His Holy Scriptures,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, faith, gratitude. Drawing especially from Psalm 92, Psalm 12, Psalm 22, Psalm 16, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises.
