Contend Earnestly for the Faith (Reformation 500) [Jude 1:3-7]

October 29, 2017

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/29/2017

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Reformation Sunday

Key Text: Jude 3-7

Description: On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther took out a hammer and nailed 95 theses to the castle church door in Wittenberg – an act that would catalyze debate and usher in radical change in the church.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes a moment to recognize this significant milestone in church history: the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Indeed, the reformers of yesteryear have left us with a great body of knowledge about God and the church and the state of man; but it leaves us wondering if any tasks remain. Is there anything left for us to do?

Any Bush Will Do [Exodus 3:1-6]

October 22, 2017

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/22/2017

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Exodus 3:1-6

Description: It’s difficult sometimes to say “no” to an obvious need. But we must remember that needs are never calls. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker opens the book of Exodus to remind us that our strength comes from the Lord. We are to draw our strength only from Him… not ourselves. For when we depend upon our own humanity to energize and power us, we surely cascade to destruction. No, a need – in and of itself – is not a call; rather, a call is something that comes from God… to meet a need.

Cleaving to the Lord [Genesis 32:24-32]

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!

Average Guy: 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.

Average Guy: 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.

Mizpah — it’s not what you think [Genesis 31:43-55]

October 1, 2017

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/01/2017

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.
