Follow Through
About this sermon
In “Follow Through,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about Satanic opposition, biblical love, prayer. Drawing especially from Romans 10, John 11, Luke 22, Revelation 19, the teaching emphasizes that Satan’s work is described through deception, accusation, temptation, and opposition to God’s purposes. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that biblical love is demonstrated through truth, patience, sacrifice, and conduct toward others.
