The Heart of Mankind - Part 3: The Hardened Heart

Pastor Dean Odle warns that Christians can gradually harden their hearts through hidden sin, unbelief, rationalization, and refusal to hear God’s voice. Beginning with Jeremiah 17 and Ezekiel 8, he emphasizes that God sees what is concealed within the heart. Hebrews 3 then supplies the central warning: people addressed as holy brethren must take heed lest sin’s deceitfulness harden them and lead them away from the living God.

The Heart of Mankind - Part 2: The Idol of Self

The sermon identifies the “idol of self” as a hidden allegiance that seeks recognition, position, comfort, and control even within Christian service. Pastor Dean Odle begins with Jeremiah’s warning that the heart is deceitful, then traces how envy, vainglory, ambition, resentment, and resistance to spiritual authority reveal self-seeking motives. Biblical examples—from Israel’s dissatisfaction to the envy behind Joseph’s betrayal and Christ’s condemnation—show that giftedness and religious activity do not automatically produce a humble heart.

Pushed

“Pushed” uses the fiery furnace account in Daniel 3 as a pattern for end-time pressure to worship an antichrist system. Pastor Dean Odle traces Nebuchadnezzar’s image, compulsory worship, accusation against dissenters, and threat of death, then connects that pattern to Revelation’s beast, image, mark, and global worship. His central warning is that believers must settle beforehand that they will not bow, even when economic exclusion, government coercion, or death is used to force compliance.

Go Forward

“Go Forward” is Pastor Dean Odle’s call to steadfast, courageous obedience when fear, disappointment, or pressure tempts a believer to retreat. Beginning with Israel at the Red Sea in Exodus 14, the sermon emphasizes God’s command to move forward even when no natural path is visible. Isaiah 43 reinforces the theme that God can make a new way, while Hebrews 10 warns against casting away confidence or drawing back.
