Description:

What is the Gospel?

Ask a number of different Christians this question, and you’re likely to hear a number of different answers. But how many people would say that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation?

Paul would.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us how Paul shares that the gospel is not just simply a message… but POWER.

And when the gospel is preached, the power of God is at work… not an aimless power but a directed power.

For the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

Key Text: Romans 1:8-15

What if you could listen to the prayers of Paul?

…What if you could look over his shoulder and peek at his itinerary and plans of all the things he wishes to accomplish?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us how the introduction allows us this opportunity… and it’s a good thing.

More Than a Salutation [Romans 1:1-7 (part 3)]

January 15, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/15/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 1:1-7

Description:

Do you ever wonder about your standing before God?

Do you wonder if God is angry with you when you are weak?

…Or do you wonder if God compares you with other Christians who seem to have it all together?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are just about through the Apostle Paul’s salutation to the believers in Rome — a salutation that goes WAY beyond a simple greeting.

For we find him laying a foundation of gospel truth that when correctly understood makes those questions we started with go away… and can only result in praising our great God from whom all blessings flow.

The Obedience of Faith [Romans 1:1-7 (part 2)]

January 8, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/08/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 1:1-7

Description:

And [the jailer] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus….”

Acts 16: 29-31a

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see Paul strike upon the key to understanding the Gospel: “the obedience of faith.” …words that seemingly don’t belong together.

For obedience is all about YOU — following the rules, adhering to the Law… but faith is different: It’s about HIM — and putting your trust and belief in the Gospel.

…Making “the obedience of faith” simply a command to believe.

For while the Law says DO-DO-DO… the Gospel says DONE.

Paul, the Bond-Slave and Apostle [Romans 1:1-7 (part 1)]

January 1, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/01/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 1:1-7

Description:

[scribing vignette]

Apostle Paul: Tertius, my amanuensis, grab pen and ink… I must write to the church in Rome.

Tertius of Iconium: At the ready Paul.

Apostle Paul: [dictating] Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord…

Bible scholars agree: Of all his epistles, Paul’s letter to the Romans stands out.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao embarks upon a new study in the book of Romans— a letter that many not only credit as Paul’s magnum opus, but as the clearest articulation of the Gospel found anywhere in the Scriptures.

Apostle Paul: [dictating] …to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
