His Lovingkindness Is Everlasting [Psalm 118:1-29]
December 28, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/28/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 118
Description:
Disappointment.
Loss.
Questions… unanswered.
What do you cling to when your year ends this way?
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good… His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 118 in our Wisdom and Worship study — a psalm of thanksgiving written from the other side of distress.
His lovingkindness is everlasting.
It does not deny danger, betrayal, or discipline — but declares that none of these things has the final word.
His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Framed by the repeated confession that “His lovingkindness is everlasting…”
…Everlasting.
This psalm calls God’s people to give thanks, trust the Lord alone, and rejoice in the salvation He provides.
His lovingkindness is everlasting.
On this final Lord’s Day of the year, Psalm 118 invites us to look back with honesty, look ahead with hope, and look upward in praise.
His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Ultimately, this psalm finds its fullest meaning in Jesus Christ — the Rejected Stone who became the Chief Cornerstone — whose saving work turns suffering into victory and fear into joyful worship.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good… His lovingkindness is everlasting.

The Joy of Being Forgiven [Psalm 32:1-11]
December 21, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/21/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 32
Description:
Guilt weighs heavy…
silence corrodes the soul…
and hidden sin steals our joy.
What happens when the heart comes clean before God?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
in our Wisdom and Worship study,
Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 32 —
a psalm that traces the pain of unconfessed sin
and the joy that comes when guilt is lifted.
“How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!”
Here we discover that forgiveness is not denial,
but deliverance —
and that true joy is found in honest repentance.
In this season of Advent,
we remember that the child born in Bethlehem
came not just to comfort sinners,
but to cleanse them — fully and forever.
Because the greatest joy
is knowing we are forgiven.

Safe in the Shadow of the Almighty [Psalm 91:1-16]
December 14, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/14/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 91
Description:
Fear presses in…
uncertainty surrounds…
and the world feels anything but safe.
Where do you turn when danger feels real and protection, fragile?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, in our Wisdom and Worship study,
Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 91 —
a psalm that does not deny suffering or threat,
but declares that God is greater.
“The one who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Here we meet the Lord as our refuge and fortress —
the One who covers, keeps, and delivers His people.
Ultimately, Psalm 91 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ —
the Son who entered a dangerous world at His first coming,
trusted the Father perfectly,
and faced suffering and death on our behalf.
In this season of Advent, we remember that the Child in the manger
is our true shelter —
and the King who will return to deliver His people completely and forever.
Because our hope is not the absence of danger…
but the presence of the Almighty.

The Reign of the Son [Psalm 2:1-12]
December 7, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/07/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 2
Description:
The nations rage…
rulers rebel…
and the world trembles under its own defiance.
What hope is there when chaos seems to sit on the throne?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, in our Wisdom and Worship study, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 2 — a royal psalm that pulls back the veil and reveals a very different reality than the one we see.
For though the world resists God’s reign, He is not shaken.
He laughs.
He speaks.
And He installs His King — His beloved Son — upon the throne.
In this season of Advent, we remember that the child laid in a manger is no mere infant…
but the King of kings, destined to rule the nations with justice and mercy.
Psalm 2 calls us to rightly respond:
to bow the knee,
to kiss the Son in reverent trust,
and to find refuge in the only sovereign who can save.
For though the nations rage…
the Son still reigns.

Who Can Dwell With God? [Psalm 15:1-5]
November 30, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 11/30/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 15
Description:
What kind of person is truly worthy to live in the presence of God?
No one.
Unless… he is perfectly righteous.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to the fifteenth psalm in our Wisdom and Worship study, in which David asks this very question:
“O Lord, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy hill?”
The answer:
Only the one whose life is blameless…
whose heart is pure…
whose actions are flawless…
whose words are faithful…
and whose love is unwavering.
In other words — no one but Jesus.
This portrait of holiness stands not as a ladder for the proud to climb, but as a mirror for the humble to see their need.
Jesus Christ is the only Man who ever walked this earth with perfect integrity, perfect truth, and perfect love.
He alone is worthy to dwell on God’s holy hill.
But by His grace, His righteousness becomes ours—
and we too, amazingly, will one day dwell on the holy hill with the Lord God Almighty.
Because in the end, Psalm 15 is not about us meeting the standard…
but about the One who already has.

Thou Shalt Kill [Colossians 3:5-11]
November 23, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 11/23/2025
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: Colossians
Key Text: Colossians 3:5-11
Description:
“Thou shalt not kill.”
We all know the commandment.
But in Colossians 3, Paul throws us a curveball:
When it comes to your old self — YOU MUST KILL.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of Colossians, where we as believers are called to kill — “put to death” —the very parts of us that have already died with Christ.
It’s strong language — unsettling, even.
But it’s the language of transformation.
Because in order to walk in the new humanity Christ has given us,
the remnants of the old must not be…
excused
tolerated
or ignored.
They must be killed — so our new life can flourish.

The Door to Mercy [Proverbs 28:13]
November 16, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 11/16/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Proverbs 28:13
Description:
When our sin feels too heavy to face,
we all have places we run.
We cover.
We excuse.
We delay.
We bury what we hope will simply disappear in the dark.
But concealed sin is not erased sin.
It doesn’t fade — it festers.
It hardens our hearts,
isolates our souls,
and sooner or later… it breaks us.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study by taking us to Proverbs 28:13 —
where Solomon tells us that God’s mercy is found not in hiding, but in honesty…
not in perfection, but in repentance.
This verse opens a doorway to gospel hope:
for the God who sees our sin is the same God who invites us into mercy
— because Christ has already borne the full weight of our transgression, and has opened wide the arms of forgiveness.
The way out of hiding is not through trying harder.
It’s through Him.
Because the real question is not whether you’ll try to cover your sin…
but whether you’ll come into the light where mercy lives.

God Alone Is My Refuge [Psalm 62:1-12]
November 9, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 11/09/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 62
Description:
When life feels like it’s slipping out from under us…
we all run somewhere.
To people.
To accomplishments.
To distraction.
To whatever promises to hold us up when we feel like we’re falling.
But what happens when those refuges give way?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study with Psalm 62 — where David declares that every refuge in this world is fragile and false… but God alone is strong, faithful, and near.
This psalm doesn’t simply call us to believe about God —
but to rest in Him.
To entrust our weary souls to the One who never shifts, never fades, and never fails.
Because the question is not whether you will seek refuge.
The question is whether the refuge you will seek… will save.

When the Foundations Are Shaken [Psalm 11:1-7]
November 2, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 11/02/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 11
Description:
The wicked rise,
justice fails,
and chaos reigns.
What do you do when the foundations of life collapse?
David — the very shepherd-warrior who would one day be king — tells us in Psalm 11.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study by taking us to the eleventh psalm — where David, in the face of real danger and deep cultural decay, does not flee… but fixes his eyes on the throne of God.
Psalm 11 reminds us that true refuge is not found in retreat, but in…
The Lord who reigns.
The Lord who sees.
The Lord who tests.
The Lord who judges in righteousness.
And the Lord who promises that His people will behold His face.
Christ, our righteous King, has already endured the judgment we deserve — that we might share forever in the glory for which we were made.
Because when the world falls apart… the Lord does not.
The Lord remains.

Responding to Our New Reality [Colossians 3:1-4]
October 26, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 10/26/2025
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: Colossians
Key Text: Colossians 3:1-4
Description:
What if the most practical way to live with what’s in front… begins by looking up?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow returns to our study in the book of Colossians — where Paul moves from theology to practice; from what is true about us in Christ, to how we are called to live because of it.
Because here’s the truth: when we fix our eyes on Christ in heaven above, everything here on earth below… begins to make perfect sense.

The Covenant-Keeping Wisdom of God [Proverbs 3:1-12]
October 19, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 10/19/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Proverbs 3:1-12
Description:
It’s not a spiritual formula — it’s a covenant call.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship Study by taking us to Proverbs 3 —
one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture…
but also one of the most misunderstood.
This isn’t about following steps to get a blessed life.
It’s about trusting the covenant-keeping God who gives life.
Every command to trust Him…
every command to turn to Him…
every command to honor Him…
is not a demand for performance —
but an invitation to faith.
For Christ is the true Son who walked the wise path for us.
And through Him,
the blessings of the covenant are ours:
peace in the midst of chaos,
guidance in confusion,
discipline that restores,
and hope that endures to resurrection life.

God Is the Strength of My Heart [Psalm 73:1-28]
October 12, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 10/12/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Psalm 73
Description:
The wicked prosper…
The righteous suffer…
And God seems silent.
What do you do??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao embarks upon a new study of Wisdom and Worship as we walk through selected Psalms and Proverbs.
In Psalm 73, Asaph walks us through a crisis of faith.
Tempted by envy and disillusioned by the ease of the ungodly,
he nearly loses his footing — until he enters the sanctuary.
There, his vision clears.
He sees not only the end of the wicked…
but the sufficiency of God.
In a world where circumstances often lie,
this psalm lifts our eyes higher —
to Christ, our true sanctuary and eternal portion.

Key Text: Zechariah 14:12-21
Description:
What if the final word in redemptive history isn’t destruction — but holiness?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao brings our study in the book of Zechariah to a close in which the prophet reveals graphic images of judgment and breathtaking glimpses of glory.
The enemies of God are defeated,
the nations are gathered to worship,
and — from the bells on the horses to the pots in the kitchens —
the Church is made holy.
This is not a return to Old Covenant shadows… it’s the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan:
To make for Himself a holy people in a holy city, where every square inch is marked “Holy to the Lord.”

Key Text: Lamentations 3:19-24

No Other Gospel [Galatians 1:6-10]
September 21, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 09/21/2025
Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Series: Galatians
Key Text: Galatians 1:6-10
Description:
It’s natural for us to want to help—
to feel as though we must *do* something.
…The desire to share in a sense of accomplishment by adding to our salvation — even validating it — is real.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves takes us to the book of Galatians,
where the Apostle Paul tells us not only that we don’t need to… but not to.
In fact, he issues some of the strongest warnings in all of Scripture:
The moment we add our work to His, the Gospel is corrupt.
And though false teachers may sound convincing, the truth remains clear —
Salvation is not found in what we do…
but in what Christ has done.
The Gospel doesn’t need our help.
It is finished.

Description:
What if the world shaking around us is not the end
— but the beginning of something greater?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah… where the prophet unveils a cosmic vision: cities collapsing, mountains splitting, and light piercing the darkness — all to reveal that the Lord Himself will come and reign over all the earth.
This is the future God has promised.
And in the midst of upheaval, His people are not forgotten:
They are…
RESCUED,
RENEWED, and
ROOTED
…in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

It’s tempting to think that adding more makes things better… but sometimes adding only leads to loss.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of Colossians, where Paul warns us against the allure of man-made religion.
He reminds us that when we add to the gospel, we actually subtract from Christ… because here’s the truth: the gospel needs no additions — only our willingness to trust that Christ is enough.

Struck for the Sheep: The Shepherd, the Sword, and the Saving Fire [Zechariah 13:7–9]
August 31, 2025
Sermon Notes
Date: 08/31/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Zechariah
Key Text: Zechariah 13:7-9
Description:
What kind of love leads a Shepherd to take the sword?
…even for sheep He knows will scatter?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah, where we see God summon the sword of judgment to strike His Shepherd — His own Son.
This is not divine abandonment… but divine design.
For at the cross, justice and mercy collide.
And the result? A people refined —
not spared from the fire, but shaped by it.
Because you see, the gospel does not merely save us from wrath.
It calls us into communion — into a life where we cry with one voice: “The LORD is my God.”

Sermon Notes
Date: 08/24/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Zechariah
Key Text: Zechariah 13:1-6
Description:
Grace.
What if this very thing the Lord uses to forgive…
is the same thing He uses to transform?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in our study of the book of Zechariah — where we see a fountain… a fountain opened.
Not a mere trickle, but an abounding and unending flow.
This is the power of Christ’s blood:
an endless supply of cleansing from sin and impurity.
For this fountain not only removes guilt,
but it also breaks the grip of sin.
And when it flows, the effects ripple outward:
idolatry is overthrown;
false teaching is silenced;
households are transformed;
and hearts are made new.
