Costly Faith [Hebrews 11:23-26]

February 27, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/27/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Description:

[Bible narration of John 15:18ff begins and then drops into the background]: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you….

The Christian life is often a life of difficulty. There is a costliness to faith as the world treats Christians harshly just as the world treated Christ.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews where we come across Moses in the Hall of Faith.

For you see, faith looks at this life of difficulty and sees a greater reward in following Christ than the reward promised in a life of sin and ease. Faith also sees a loving Father in heaven who has secured a place with Him in eternal glory.

When the Promises Collide with Death [Hebrews 11:20-22]

February 20, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/20/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Key Text: Hebrews 11:20-22

Description:

What does faith look like when the promises of God collide with death?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our Hall of Faith study in the book of Hebrews in which we examine the final moments of the patriarchs as they face death with their eyes toward the future…toward the horizon.

They know that death will not hinder the promises of God in any way and that the future will continue to unveil God’s perfect plan — which will be moving forward until that great day of consummation and resurrection.

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/13/2022

Preacher: Josh Peglow, guest preacher

Key Text: Ephesians 5:7-14

Description:

Like one beggar showing another where to find bread, that is who we are as Christians.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit to preach on our call to be Ambassadors of the Light.

We’re not here to shame others for their wrongdoings — our list is just as long.

But rather, we are called, in the way we act and the words we speak — though we may stumble (and even more so because we do) — to show others, as an act of love, the Bread that sustains and saves us.

Gathered at the Lord’s Table [selected texts]

February 6, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/06/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: The Church: Communion

Key Text: selected

Description:

BREAKING NEWS: For the first time in its 93 year history, Scandia Bible Church will break with its long-standing tradition of observing communion on the first Sunday of each month… and instead, will celebrate communion each and every week.

Today on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao preaches a special sermon to unpack this major and historical decision.

Simao preaches that while coming to the Lord’s Table weekly is certainly not a command we find in Scripture, we do find it to be the normative practice of the early Church

Simao clip: “It was such a central act that the Church could be said to gather for THAT purpose.”

— centering the service upon the finished work of Christ.

All fun aside… this is a BIG DEAL — one we should welcome, and not take lightly.
