Sermon Notes

Date: 09/25/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Description:

One of the most important questions that any person or church could ask themselves is…

“How is God to be approached in worship?”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and reveals that as important as this question is, it often goes unasked.

Why? Because we fail to listen.

… all while trying to approach the God who speaks.

One is the Loneliest Number [Ecclesiastes 4:7-16]

September 18, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/18/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 4:7-16

Description:

As Solomon continues to observe ‘life under the sun,’ he sees another form of vanity: loneliness.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and shows us that as man rejects God’s design for human companionship, the culture becomes more and more isolated.

After all, envy, greed, and isolation may lead you to possess many things — but often possessing them alone.

What’s the point??

…Or as Solomon would astutely observe: “This too is vanity.”

Oppression, Envy, and Peace [Ecclesiastes 4:1-6]

September 11, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/11/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 4:1-6

Description:

Last time on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast…

Pastor Simao: “Solomon is giving us six things that he sees in life that are not beautiful… Six things that everyone agrees are not beautiful… Six things that ought to challenge everyone ‘living under the sun,’ as well as cast the eye of the believer upward towards God.”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes in which we continue to address these six “non-beautiful things” — six objections Solomon raises to the sovereignty of God.

In our last sermon we looked at WICKEDNESS, found in places we ought not expect: places of justice, and even places of worship.

This time, Solomon objects to the OPPRESSION he sees all around… as well as the ENVY that shamefully and covertly drives our motivation behind our work — robbing us of the enjoyment it is intended to supply.

And it’s no wonder, with all of this… that life “under the sun” continues to look more bleak.

Wickedness and Death [Ecclesiastes 3:16-22]

September 4, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/04/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 3:16-22

Description:

Avg Guy: Okay, riddle me this… If God is good and God is sovereign and rules over all things, then why do we find wickedness in surprising places? …such as places of law and worship? …Furthermore, as men, if we have to die like animals then what makes us any better??

SBC Host: Sounds like you’re ready for another sermon in Ecclesiastes.

Avg Guy: I thought you were going to say that.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and shows us that these objections were brought up by Solomon and have been raised by many men over the years…

…But the ANSWERS to these objections have only been found in ONE man: the God-Man, Jesus Christ.
