Sermon Notes

Date: 11/27/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

Description:

Some say the book of Ecclesiastes is more about the ethic of work than the ethic of life.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and shows us how its author, King Solomon, is not about one or the other… but rather both — encouraging both industry, as well as generosity… all while coming from a place of fearless courage.

A Fly in the Ointment [Ecclesiastes 9:13 — 10:20]

November 20, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/20/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 9:13 — 10:20

Description:

While wisdom is necessary for proper living, it can be fragile… and like the proverbial “fly in the ointment,” all it takes is a little folly, and wisdom loses its strength.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and demonstrates how the author, Solomon, brings this message home with some unique illustrations — showing that while wisdom is better than power and money, folly is always lurking near… threatening to collapse what wisdom has built.

Pleasures of War [Ecclesiastes 9:1-12]

November 13, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/13/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 9:1-12

Description:

Sometimes spiritual warfare doesn’t look like war and doesn’t seem very spiritual… and yet…

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and preaches that *and yet* in a world full of sorrow, one of our greatest defenses and triumphs against evil circumstances is to take our hearts to the Lord in gratitude and joy.

To work hard and to enjoy the Lord’s provision is the mark — not only of the wise man — but of the one who has learned to be content, and even happy, in a world full of bitterness and complaint.

Wisdom and Its Limits [Ecclesiastes 8:1-17]

November 6, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/06/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 8:1-17

Description:

This world is fraught with danger.

We need wisdom to safely navigate our way through life’s perils; but, wisdom doesn’t necessarily guarantee smooth sailing, nor does it answer every question.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and reminds us that as Christians, we need to recognize the limits of wisdom… and why our finite wisdom shouldn’t cause us to worry, but rather, all the more, to trust in our infinite God.
