Dean Odle celebrates the new covenant and teaches that believers are justified through the blood of Jesus Christ, not by ethnic identity, Torah observance, or personal achievement. Beginning with worship and the language of overcoming through Christ’s blood, he describes the Christian life as an active pursuit of Jesus. Psalm 37’s picture of a righteous person whose steps are ordered by the Lord supports his assurance that stumbling does not have to end the race. Through personal testimony, he urges believers who fall to repent, receive God’s help, rise again, and resist accusations that turn failure into permanent defeat.

Whitewashed Tombs

Dean Odle applies Jesus’ condemnation of whitewashed tombs in Matthew 23 to churches and leaders who appear successful or righteous while excusing ongoing sin. He contrasts a megachurch pastor’s claim that confession does not require stopping sin with Jesus’ command to the adulterous woman, Proverbs 28:13, Romans 6, and other passages that join mercy with forsaking iniquity.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

A Root of Bitterness

In “A Root of Bitterness,” Pastor Dean Odle gives a candid, Scripture-centered warning about hidden offense and unforgiveness. Beginning with his own struggle to forgive someone who damaged family relationships, he urges believers to examine themselves honestly rather than cover resentment with religious language. From Psalm 81 and 2 Corinthians 13:5, he argues that spiritual strength depends upon hearing and obeying God, receiving His grace, and confronting sin when the Holy Spirit exposes it.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Abraham Was Not a Torah Follower: Walking by Faith

Pastor Dean Odle contrasts New Covenant faith in Jesus Christ with efforts to place Christians under the Mosaic covenant. Beginning in Romans 3 and answering an appeal to James 2, he argues that believers are justified apart from the deeds of the law, while genuine faith still produces obedient action. James’s examples of Abraham and Rahab, in his reading, describe works that respond to God’s present command—not Sabbath, feast, dietary, circumcision, or other covenant observances.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Are You an Editor?

In “Are You an Editor?” Pastor Dean Odle challenges Christians and ministers who selectively accept Scripture while dismissing teachings that conflict with denominational systems, popular science, or comfortable church culture. Acts 20 supplies his model: Paul declared the whole counsel of God, warned the flock, and refused to withhold difficult truth. Odle applies that principle to biblical cosmology, the continuing gifts of the Holy Spirit, repentance, prophecy, Israel, and the end times.

Sermon · Pastor Nancy

Are you Dead Yet

In “Are You Dead Yet?” Pastor Nancy calls believers to die to self through humility, obedience, and practical service. Beginning with Galatians 2:20 and Christ’s self-emptying example in Philippians 2, she contrasts the hunger for recognition with the mind of Jesus, who lowered himself, accepted suffering, and put others first. Paul’s testimony, James’ command to humble oneself, and Jesus’ warnings against self-exaltation reinforce the central question: has the old self truly yielded to Christ?

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Bad Company Corrupts

In “Bad Company Corrupts,” Pastor Dean Odle warns that close fellowship is spiritually formative: companions, teachers, ministries, workplaces, and churches can either strengthen obedience or normalize deception. Beginning with a reported answer to prayer for a critically ill child, he moves into 1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs, and New Testament commands concerning church discipline. His central claim is that Christians must take biblical boundaries seriously because “evil communications” means corrupting companionship, not merely vulgar speech.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Beware of Offense

In “Beware of Offense,” Pastor Dean Odle warns that wounded feelings can become a spiritual trap when they harden into division, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Beginning with Jesus’ own sharp rebukes of religious leaders, Odle argues that biblical love does not avoid difficult truth and that Christians must remain humble enough to receive correction without abandoning fellowship. He contrasts direct biblical preaching with a church culture that can prize emotional comfort over repentance.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

Pastor Dean Odle presents “Blaspheming the Holy Spirit” as both a warning and an invitation: believers should commune and cooperate with the Holy Spirit rather than resist, quench, grieve, or malign his work. Moving from Jesus’ promise in John 16 to Pentecost and later New Testament examples, Odle argues that the Spirit still guides, empowers, heals, gives gifts, and helps believers pray. He challenges traditions that restrict these works to the apostolic age.

Sermon · Pastor Dean Odle

Blind Oblivious Sheep

In “Blind Oblivious Sheep,” Pastor Dean Odle warns that professing Christians can remain spiritually blind when they neglect Scripture, refuse the fear of the Lord, or settle into lukewarm religion.

Breaking Free #1: Spiritual Warfare 101

The opening session of “Breaking Free” lays out Pastor Dean Odle’s basic framework for spiritual warfare. After worship and an appeal to faith, he tells believers that Jesus’ name gives authority over demonic oppression and that Christians should expect to minister healing and deliverance rather than remain passive.
