From Lo-debar to the Kings’s Table: Invitation to the Unworthy [2 Samuel 9:1-13]

March 31, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Key Text: 2 Samuel 9

Description:

What does a crippled man from Lo-debar have to do with Easter??

…More than we might initially think.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Resurrection Sunday 2024, Pastor Monty Simao opens the book of 2 Samuel to uncover the profound depths of Easter’s message tucked within an ancient story: the story of Mephibosheth.

For it is a vivid picture of our own condition before God: broken, in exile, and desperately in need of grace.

And yet, it is also a story of unexpected summons, of grace that seeks us out, and of a royal table where there is always a place reserved for us — not because of who we are…

…but because of Whose we are.

Sunrise Service 2024: I Am the Resurrection [John 11:25-27]

March 31, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 11:25-27

Description:

I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.

Do you believe this?

… the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Martha.

And welcome to our 2024 Easter Sunrise Service for Scandia Bible Church — held in its traditional location, at the lovely waterside home of Elder Keith Barker.

This morning Deacon David Teves shares a message regarding a different resurrection — the one in which Jesus raised His friend, Lazarus, from the dead.

But in doing so He explained to Martha that *He* was the resurrection… and Martha not only believed Him but said as much.

What about you?

Do YOU believe this?

That’s the real question to ponder this morning.

…For your answer means everything.

The Triumphal Entry [John 12:12-19]

March 24, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/23/2024, Palm Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 12:12-19

Description:

They hailed Him, King!

…the king who had come to save them —the Jewish people— from the oppression of the Romans.

But, instead (fulfilling Old Testament prophecy), Jesus —just five days before what would be Good Friday— humbly entered Jerusalem, not on a white steed, but a gray donkey… symbolizing peace, not war.

SBC logo 204x204

Today on this Palm Sunday, Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves examines a passage that most just see as a historical account of the path Jesus took to the cross. But is it more than that?

Does this passage have relevancy for US today?

…And if so, how can we apply it to our lives?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/03/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 10:5-8

Description:  

It’s closer than you think.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are confronted with a startling truth:

When it comes to our spiritual needs, our world has conditioned us to search for complex solutions; when, in fact, the righteousness that leads to salvation is closer than we think.

For it’s not about lofty achievements or rigorous adherence to law: it’s about faith, belief, and confession — elements deeply woven into the fabric of our being.
