The Curse of Islam
About this sermon
In “The Curse of Islam,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about Islamic origins and claims, Satanic opposition, the condition of the church. Drawing especially from Isaiah 14, Luke 10, Acts 7, Revelation 13, the teaching emphasizes that Islamic claims and biblical revelation present incompatible accounts of God and salvation. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that Satan’s work is described through deception, accusation, temptation, and opposition to God’s purposes.
