Intolerance, Love, and Hate [Revelation 2:1-7]

September 30, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/30/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Description: The Ephesians were intolerant and haters… and for that, Jesus praised them.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares with us that in Christ’s letter to the church of Ephesus, He, indeed, did praise them for their intolerance to evil and hating the things He hates.

But most of us don’t consider intolerance a virtue, nor think that there would be something that Jesus actually hates… let alone, wants us to hate too. But that’s exactly what we read.

And in the midst of this, we are told to love.

Sound contradictory? Not at all.

Let’s love the things that God loves and hate the things that God hates… and in so doing, know what it is like to walk in Truth.

How do you picture Christ? [Revelation 1:10-20]

September 23, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/23/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 1:10-20

Description: What do you think Christ looks like? …Like what you see in the movies? …or the illustrations in children’s Bibles?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that while we all have a picture of Christ in our mind’s eye, the Apostle John gives us a picture of Christ and that is very different from the one we have in our imagination.

What we’ll find is that John is not interested in telling us what Christ looks like; his purpose is to show us what Christ IS LIKE!

And that’s a message that the church needs in every age.

Christ in the Midst of His Church [Revelation 1:9-13a]

September 16, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/16/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 1:9-13a

Description: “And I [John] heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying, ‘Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches….’ I turned… [and] saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us that it was not written by an academic with little practical experience or a lofty leader from an ivory tower: Rather the Lord Jesus gave the Revelation to John the apostle who was a fellow partaker in “the tribulation, kingdom, and perseverance, which are in Jesus.”

And like John, we too can persevere because Christ is in the midst of His church.

The Lord God Almighty! [Revelation 1:7-8]

September 9, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/09/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 1:7-8

Description: There’s no need to purchase Cliffs Notes for the book of Revelation, because the Bible already built it in… and you’ll find it contained in ONE verse.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that after the weeks and weeks we’ll spend sifting through this great book, if all we remember is this one verse, we will probably know enough for whatever trials may come during our lives.

The verse: chapter 1, verse 7.

For what we’ll learn is that it is the keynote of the book, and it tells us that Jesus will return and will come to bring final redemption along with final judgment.

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/02/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 1:4-6

Description: From the very first verses in the book of Revelation, the Apostle John – its author – draws a line in the sand.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in Revelation and shows us that even as early as John’s greeting in the opening verses, he’s quick to set God’s authority over that of every lesser authority and as the only Giver of grace and peace.
