Sermon Notes
Date: 05/18/2025
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Zechariah
Key Text: Zechariah 7:1-14
Description:
What if your prayers… your giving… your fasting — and all of your religious habits and routines — weren’t really for God?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah in which we see the Lord confront a people with decades of spiritual tradition… asking one searing question:
“Was it for Me — even for Me?” (Even just a little?)

This isn’t just a question for ancient Israel. It’s a question for us — even for us.
It’s a call to examine our hearts — and return to worship that God truly receives.

Discussion Guide:
Use of this guide is designed for both individual reflection, as well as group discussions like family worship. My prayer is that it will allow you to dwell longer, and meditate more, upon God’s holy Word and will be fodder for sanctifying conversations.
