Sermon Notes
Date: 10/27/2024
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 15:22-33
Description:
Avg Guy: I have plans! I have things I want to do — places I want to go…
SBC Host: …And let me guess… those “plans” — at least for right now — aren’t God’s plans… are they?
Avg Guy: No, they’re not.
The struggle is real.
How can we support each other in this area? How do we stay committed to God’s plans when our desire might be for different plans?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we find Paul in the middle of delays, detours, and the desire to visit Rome — but he continues to stay dedicated to serving the church and uniting believers across cultures.

And it is through this challenge of responsibility that we witness Paul’s heart for prayer, partnership, and perseverance.
We learn what it means to “strive together” in prayer and the gospel. And ultimately, we see how Paul offers us a model for living out our faith, building unity, and trusting God’s timing in all things.
