Sermon NotesDate: 04/21/2024
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 11:11-24
Description:
It’s a call to humility and warning against arrogance.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we encounter the olive tree — a vivid metaphor representing the integration of God’s people: both Jew and Gentile, united in Christ.
But it’s more than a word picture, it’s a profound discussion on the salvation of the Gentiles and their inclusion into this “tree.”
But we, the Gentile believers, are reminded not to boast against the branches (the Jewish people), but rather to consider our own place with sober judgment and gratitude.
For it is through this passage that we see a beautiful illustration of the continuity and unity in God’s covenantal plan — showing that the gospel is indeed “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Sermon NotesDate: 04/14/2024
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 11:1-10
Description:
Avg Guy: It’s official! God has rejected His people, Israel, in favor of the Church.
SBC Host: No. No He hasn’t. In fact, Paul is emphatic over the matter. As an Israelite himself, he is the *perfect example* of why this is absolutely NOT the case.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see a profound, gracious continuity in God’s dealings with His people — a thread that runs from Abraham to Christ, and beyond.
In chapter 11, the Apostle Paul introduces us to the concept of a “remnant” — Israelites chosen by God, by grace (not works) — standing as a testament of His faithfulness to His promises…
…promises that are fulfilled not just in historical happenings, but in the reality of Christ’s kingdom, already present and yet fully coming.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 10:14-21
Description:
How can one believe in the One of whom they have not heard??
…And how can they hear without someone preaching to them??
Today on Scanida Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which Paul presents a compelling reminder of our responsibility to share the Good News.
But it’s more than just speaking words: it’s about the universal need for people to hear and respond to the Word.
For it is the transformative power of the gospel that will reach every corner of the earth, calling all to salvation.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Key Text: 2 Samuel 9
Description:
What does a crippled man from Lo-debar have to do with Easter??
…More than we might initially think.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Resurrection Sunday 2024, Pastor Monty Simao opens the book of 2 Samuel to uncover the profound depths of Easter’s message tucked within an ancient story: the story of Mephibosheth.
For it is a vivid picture of our own condition before God: broken, in exile, and desperately in need of grace.
And yet, it is also a story of unexpected summons, of grace that seeks us out, and of a royal table where there is always a place reserved for us — not because of who we are…
…but because of Whose we are.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday
Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: John 11:25-27
Description:
I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.
Do you believe this?
… the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Martha.
And welcome to our 2024 Easter Sunrise Service for Scandia Bible Church — held in its traditional location, at the lovely waterside home of Elder Keith Barker.
This morning Deacon David Teves shares a message regarding a different resurrection — the one in which Jesus raised His friend, Lazarus, from the dead.
But in doing so He explained to Martha that *He* was the resurrection… and Martha not only believed Him but said as much.
What about you?
Do YOU believe this?
That’s the real question to ponder this morning.
…For your answer means everything.

For it was a *GOOD* Friday…
…but only because Sunday would be the GREATEST day of all!

Sermon NotesDate: 03/23/2024, Palm Sunday
Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: John 12:12-19
Description:
They hailed Him, King!
…the king who had come to save them —the Jewish people— from the oppression of the Romans.
But, instead (fulfilling Old Testament prophecy), Jesus —just five days before what would be Good Friday— humbly entered Jerusalem, not on a white steed, but a gray donkey… symbolizing peace, not war.
Today on this Palm Sunday, Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves examines a passage that most just see as a historical account of the path Jesus took to the cross. But is it more than that?
Does this passage have relevancy for US today?
…And if so, how can we apply it to our lives?

Key Text: Romans 10:5-8
Description:
It’s closer than you think.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are confronted with a startling truth:
When it comes to our spiritual needs, our world has conditioned us to search for complex solutions; when, in fact, the righteousness that leads to salvation is closer than we think.
For it’s not about lofty achievements or rigorous adherence to law: it’s about faith, belief, and confession — elements deeply woven into the fabric of our being.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 9:30 — 10:4
Description:
It’s not about what WE CAN DO…
but about WHAT’S BEEN DONE.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and invites us into a radical reimagining of what it means to be Right with God.
Because we live in a world where we often find ourselves measuring our worth by our works.
But… it’s not about what we can DO, but about what has been DONE FOR US, through Jesus Christ.
So, how does this shift change the way we live, believe, and pursue God’s heart??
The answer?… rests in the beautiful gospel simplicity of finding righteousness through belief in Christ Alone.
