No Looking Back

Pastor Dean Odle uses an old family plow to illustrate Jesus’s warning in Luke 9:62 about following Him without looking back. Beginning with Romans 8 and John 10, he argues that discipleship requires continually hearing Christ’s voice, resisting the flesh, and surrendering self-will. He examines the excuses in Luke 14, shares personal accounts of ministry decisions, correction, and restoration, and turns to 1 John 2 and Proverbs 3 to urge trust in God’s direction. The sermon closes with warnings drawn from Lot’s wife and the parable of the talents, calling listeners to examine their faith, abide in Christ, and move forward in obedient, fruitful service.

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.

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit (2026)

In The Anointing of the Holy Spirit (2026), Pastor Dean Odle calls believers to seek more than routine church activity: the presence, power, guidance, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Beginning with Jesus in Luke 4, Odle argues that Christ ministered as the anointed Son and model for believers, and that the Spirit’s power exposes darkness, breaks bondage, gives authority for witness, and may provoke resistance as well as revival.

Keeping Your Intensity

Dean Odle exhorts believers to retain spiritual intensity under pressure rather than surrendering ground to temptation, discouragement, or distraction. He describes the adversary’s strategy as repeated pressure that persuades a Christian to retreat a little at a time and then accept the loss as normal. Walking away from the Lord, enduring disappointment after disappointment, and seeking quick stimulation are presented as different ways spiritual desire can be drained. The message therefore calls for sustained, Spirit-enabled resistance rather than confidence in a passing emotional high.
