Free and Enslaved [Romans 6:15-23]

July 30, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/30/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:15-23

Description:

Whom do you serve?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and poses this question.

Because while it’s not uncommon for an unbeliever to see themselves as living in freedom while Christians submit themselves to bondage, the Bible paints a different picture.

For the one you serve is your master.

If you serve sin, you are enslaved to sin… and your path leads to death.

If you serve righteousness, you are freed from sin… and, instead, enslaved to God who gives eternal life.

Your choice.

We are Now Under Grace! [Romans 6:8-14]

July 16, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/16/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:8-14

Description:

LEGALISM.

It’s attractive because it stresses obedience to the law. It’s weak because the law is unable to help us in our plight.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shares how Paul had been accused of preaching a gospel that encouraged immoral living — for some lived as if sin still reigned in their lives.

But that was not what Paul was doing at all!

Rather than encouraging loose living, Paul preached the gospel of GRACE.

For grace is able to do what the law cannot:

Grace gives desire and will to obey…and power to the once powerless.

Dead to Sin. Alive to God. [Romans 6:1-7]

July 9, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/09/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:1-7

Description:

Avg Guy: I believe you could argue that sinning is ultimately good!

SBC Host: That’s a pretty big statement. What do you mean?

Avg Guy: Well, we are saved apart from our works, right?

SBC Host: Right.

Avg Guy: And since we know that “when sin increases grace abounds all the more”… It’s obvious the law is now obsolete.

SBC Host: I’m not sur—

Avg Guy: —It’s simple: More sin equals more grace! And who wouldn’t want more grace?? Ergo, sin is good. I rest my case.

SBC Host: Careful. Your line of thinking will not end well.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us that this twisted thinking challenged the Gospel.

Man was turning grace into a license to sin — distorting the God’s Word and corrupting many in the church.

In our passage, Paul responds to these challenges to show the impossibility of such a view — using our union with Christ to show how such an idea would be simply absurd.

Living Love [1 Peter 1:22-25]

July 2, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/02/2023

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: 1 Peter

Key Text: 1 Peter 1:22-25

Description:

To love like Christ loves. It’s the identity marker of the church.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that we are commanded to love others.

But it’s not always easy to love others — especially with the self-sacrificing love of Christ.

That’s because you can’t… unless, and until, you are reborn — reborn with a purified heart, through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
