Christmas Eve Service 2021
December 24, 2021
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/24/2021
Description:
Pull up a virtual pew and join us. It’s Christmas Eve… and we’re together again!
Merry Christmas and welcome to our special Scandia Bible Church Christmas Eve Service for 2021, as we gather to celebrate a moment in history that would forever change the course of humanity — the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
As is our tradition, this evening’s service will be served up “family style” (you’ll find an Order of Service in the Sermon Notes) in which you’ll experience a mix of scripture readings, congregational hymns, and good ol’ fashioned church family music (plus Pastor Monty has a few words)… to remind and retell the story that everyone must know.

To Prepare the Way [Luke 1:1-25]
December 19, 2021
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/19/2021
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Advent
Key Text: Luke 1:1-25
Description:
God had not spoken to His people for over 400 years. It was a long time of silence and in that time, Israel had returned from exile, rebuilt the temple, survived Alexander the Great, and now was occupied by Rome. Many were discouraged and there were a host of ways in which the people responded. It was rough.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao opens the Bible this advent season to tell us of a pivotal moment in all of time:
God was going to break His silence.
And it wouldn’t be to a great prophet or the king, but He would send an angel to an obscure, middle-aged priest named Zecharias.
…For the most important time in history was about to begin.

Affliction and The End of Ourselves [2 Corinthians 1:8-11]
December 12, 2021
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/12/2021
Preacher: Josh Peglow, guest preacher
Key Text: 2 Corinthians 1:8-11
Description:
[Writing Vignette]
SBC Host: [writing] Dear family and friends. What a year it has been! Billy is growing up so fast. He started soccer and singing in the choir. Sally — not to be outdone — has taken up ballet, and found that she, too, enjoys singing. Of course, we all felt the bump in the road when our family suffered an affliction that was so great that it caused us the despair of life. We enjoyed our annual family vacation, though, down at the lake this summer….
Avg Guy: Whoah!! Wait! What happened!? “The despair of life”???
You can’t just gloss over something like that. You need to give us details!
SBC Host: Why? In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul didn’t.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit and preaches out of the book of 2 Corinthians to show us that God uses trials to cause his people to stop trusting in themselves and, instead, in Him alone.
It’s not that he doesn’t want us to communicate our needs with others — He does. After all, it’s part of His plan of how we support each other.
But the main thrust of what we’ll learn today is that while we can suffer for all sorts of different reasons — and we will — (even a great apostle, such as Paul, is not immune) it’s when the despair becomes so great, that we humbly face the reality that, in and of ourselves, we have nothing to give.
Our burden is so excessive that we are beyond our strength.
While this can be a disconcerting place to be… It’s a good place to be.
Because as we put our trust and reliance in Him, we see God go to work… to establish His glory.

Looking for a City [Hebrews 11:8-10]
December 5, 2021
Sermon Notes
Date: 12/05/2021
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Hebrews
Key Text: Hebrews 11:8-10
Description:
“The Father of All of Who Believe” — an incredible epitaph for an incredible, faith-filled man.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and shows us that when it comes to faith, we can learn a lot from Abraham.
But can we even relate to this stalwart of faith??
Ironically, while our daily struggles may make us feel far removed from what Father Abraham must have experienced, what we’re likely to find is that we share more in common with him, than not.
