Sermon Notes

Date: 08/30/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 6:7-10

Description:

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
we’re going to listen to a sermon.

And in this sermon,
we’re going to hear the sermon
that Pastor Monty Simao preached
at Scandia Bible Church.

And as we listen to the sermon
we’ll hear what was said
from the pulpit
in the sermon we’re about to hear —

which is the sermon
we’re introducing right now.

…Yeah.

Jesus said,

“When you are praying,
do not use meaningless repetition
as the Gentiles do,
for they suppose that they will be heard
for their many words.”

Today, Pastor Monty continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus teaches His disciples
that true prayer is not about multiplying words
to gain God’s attention.

Your Father already knows
what you need
before you ask Him.

So the question is not,
“How much can I say?”

But rather:

Does my prayer exist
to bend God to my desires —

or to bend my heart
to His?

Discussion Guide:

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.
