October 15, 2017
Sermon Notes
Date: 10/15/2017
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 32-24-32
Description: (WWF Wrestling Spoof)
Wrestling Announcer: Get ready because the BWF Sunday Morning Main Event is on! This morning on the Bible Wresting Federation, we witness the guy who knows how to make a mean pot of stew, make your head spin talking speckled sheep, and work as long as it takes to get the wife he wants: Jacob the Deceiver… squaring off with the Great I Am; the Almighty, Awesome Creator of the Heavens and Earth: GOD!
Alter Ego: God is so going to win!
Scandia Host: Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to recount the second time God appears in the flesh: the first, to talk with Abraham; the second, to wrestle with Jacob.
Alter Ego: I told you God was going to win.
Scandia Host: You’re right. God was merciful, though, because Jacob got to limp away from this match with only a dislocated hip. But this wasn’t about wrestling – this was a lesson. You see, in this scuffle, God was teaching Jacob something about strife and struggle… and how in those situations THE BEST response (for him and for us) is to simply cling to the Lord.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 31:43-55
Description: Mizpah. In Christian circles today, when you hear this word it’s often associated with little coins or trinkets – jewelry in essence – that people buy to show their prayer for protection over another. They can even be seen by some as romantic. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us that this is NOT how Mizpah was utilized in the Bible… in fact, it was quite the opposite.

Pack Your Bags, We’re Outa’ Here! [Genesis 31:1-21]
September 10, 2017
Sermon Notes
Date: 09/10/2017
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 31:1-21
Description: There are times in our lives when God, through His grace, will change our affections toward a particular situation to prepare our hearts for a difficult decision. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us how the Lord did this very thing in the lives of Jacob and his wives. The circumstance: difficult relations with Laban, Jacob’s father-in-law. The result: Jacob decides to leave Haran and head back to the Land of Promise; and in that we see the rise of the new Patriarch of the Faith as he steps toward Canaan and fills the shoes of his father Isaac.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 30:25-43
