Faith
About this sermon
Pastor Dean Odle’s “Faith” defines biblical faith as trust generated and governed by the written Word of God. Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 10:17 anchor the teaching: faith is indispensable, but it does not arise from imagination, institutions, cultural consensus, or impressive signs. From the Emmaus road in Luke 24, Odle argues that Jesus answered unbelief by opening Moses and the prophets, establishing Scripture as the foundation for recognizing Christ and discerning truth.
