Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/31/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 5:13-16

Description:

In a dark and corrupt world,

Christ does not make His people

hidden,
useless,
and unchanged —

but salt
and light.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus teaches His disciples
what the citizens of His kingdom
are in the world:

salt
of the earth,

and light
of the world.

Not because they are trying
to earn their place
before the King,

but because grace
has made them new.

And now their lives —
their witness,
their good works,
their open allegiance to Christ —

restrain corruption,
pierce the darkness,
and point beyond themselves.

Because the good works
of kingdom citizens

SBC logo 204x204

are not meant to draw attention
to them —

but to lead men

to glorify the Father
who is in heaven.

Blessed Are the Citizens of the Kingdom [Matthew 5:1-12]

May 24, 2026

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/24/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 5:1-12

Description:

What kind of person
is blessed?

Jesus answered that very question
from the mount.

And His answer—
as it did then—
still turns the world upside down.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew—

as Jesus sits down
and begins to teach
the citizens of His kingdom.

And what He says
is not what the world expects:

Blessed are the poor in spirit.
Blessed are those who mourn.
Blessed are the gentle.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness.
Blessed are the merciful.
Blessed are the pure in heart.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted
for the sake of righteousness.

This is not worldly strength.

SBC logo 204x204

This is kingdom character.

Grace-wrought.

Christ-shaped.

And blessed
by the King Himself.

The Gospel Prevails [Galatians 2:1-10]

May 17, 2026

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/17/2026

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Series: Galatians

Key Text: Galatians 2:1-10

Description:

The gospel was on the line.

Not preference.
Not tradition.

But salvation itself.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Deacon David Teves continues our study in Galatians,
where Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem
with Barnabas and Titus.

And there, the question becomes unavoidable:

Is Christ enough?

Must circumcision be added?
Must works of the law be required?
Must anything stand beside the finished work of Christ?

Paul’s answer is clear.

He would not yield.
Not even for a moment.

Because to add to the gospel
is to lose the gospel.

Titus stood as living proof:

Salvation is not by works of the law,
but by faith in Christ.

SBC logo 204x204

The gospel is enough.

And because it is enough—
we stand firm.

Enduring Attributes of Fellowship [Colossians 4:10-14]

May 10, 2026

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/10/2026

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Colossians

Key Text: Colossians 4:10-14

Description:

Aristarchus. Mark. Justus. Epaphras. Luke. Demas.

Names we might pass over.
Greetings we might rush through.

But tucked inside these final lines is a picture of the church Christ is building.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow nears the conclusion of our study in the book of Colossians—

as the apostle Paul sends greetings from fellow workers, servants, and sufferers in the work of the gospel.

Different names. Different stories. Different histories.

Some serving quietly behind the scenes.
Some bearing the marks of failure and restoration.
Some striving in prayer for the people of God.

All reminding us that Christian fellowship is not shallow.

SBC logo 204x204

It is formed in humility,
strengthened through reconciliation,
sustained by faithful ministry,
and held together in Christ alone.

Because the church is not merely a gathering of similar people.

It is the body of Christ.

Follow Me: The Sovereign Call of the King [Matthew 4:18-25]

May 3, 2026

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/03/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 4:18-25

Description:

Ordinary men.

Ordinary work.

Ordinary lives.

Sitting in their boat
with their father.

And then Jesus speaks:

Follow Me.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew—

as the King who has come
now begins to call men to Himself.

First stop: the Sea of Galilee—

where fishermen, brothers, and sons
hear the sovereign call of Christ.

He calls them from their nets.
From their boats.
From life as they knew it.

And in His hands, ordinary men
become fishers of men.

But as crowds begin to gather around Jesus,

Matthew leaves us with a searching question:

SBC logo 204x204

Are we merely near Him…

or have we truly heard
the call of the King?
