Notes:

Without the Resurrection…

    1. Preaching would be WORTHLESS.
    2. Faith would be USELESS.
    3. Christ would be a LIAR.
    4. the Cross would mean NOTHING.
    5. Those who have Died before us would be in RUIN.
    6. Following Him would be a WASTE of our time.

Series: Five Solas

Key Text: selected texts

Description:

How can you be made righteous?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and finally puts a bow on the Five Sola Series he began preaching over 3 years ago.

You see “Scripture Alone,” “Faith Alone,” “Grace Alone,” and “Christ Alone” — the topics of his past sermons — all answer the singular question: “HOW?”

HOW can sinful man be made righteous?

This morning, we explore the follow-up, deeper, more profound question: “WHY?”

WHY can sinful man be made righteous?

But of all the solas, it is the sola of “In Christ Alone” that ties all of the others together.

But just who is Christ? What work did He do? And how does this give us hope?

Grace Alone – God’s Gift of Salvation [Ephesians 2:1-10]

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/22/2021

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Series: Five Solas

Key Text: Ephesians 2:1-10

Description:

Avg Guy: I’m a pretty good person. I go to church, read my Bible, say nice things to people. I’m certainly not like HER. She’s the epitome of sex, drugs, and rockin’ roll!!

SBC Host: Careful.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit to continue his 5 Solas Series, in which, this time, we look at Grace — the GIFT (not anything of YOUR doing), but the gift of God from which we have been saved through faith… so that NO ONE may boast.

Because you see when we start comparing ourselves to our neighbor to estimate our standing in the Heavenly Court — the devil only laughs.

SBC logo 204x204

When you understand that the comparison has never been with your neighbor — but with the Almighty, Infinite God of the Universe — you indeed realize, that right from the beginning, you were DEAD.

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Series: Five Solas

Key Text: Galatians 2:16

Description:

Avg Guy: I’m confused. To be saved, Paul says I need faith…James says works. Who’s right??

SBC logo 204x204

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit to address this apparent contradiction surrounding the Biblical doctrine of justification as he continues his “5 Solas Series.”

And what we’ll find is that when it comes to reading scripture, “first glances,” as one blog author put it, “are not enough.”

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/04/2019

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Series: Five Solas

Key Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Description: The Protestant Reformation — an event in church history we tend to associate with Martin Luther and other 16th Century reformers. We tend to forget, however, that Jesus Christ was the Original Reformer.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and shares that Martin Luther and others were simply following Jesus’ example. For the Pharisees and scribes held that the traditions and laws of man were equal with Scripture — just as the Medieval Church and the Pope, 1500 years later in Luther’s day, said that Scripture AND tradition were the authority on truth.

SBC logo 204x204

…And, the argument continues to this day: To find truth, are other influences required to come alongside the Holy Scriptures of the Bible… or is the Bible enough?

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Key Text: Ephesians 6:10-20

Description: Spiritual warfare. It’s a phrase we use. But what does it really mean?  …And what do we do about it?

SBC logo 204x204

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves, fills in at the pulpit and digs into these questions by looking at a familiar text, but does so in a way that many churches fail to address — by looking at the context of the letter in which it was written.

Jesus is Risen. Now What? [1 Corinthians 15:1-5]

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/28/2019

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Key Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-5

Description: After the Resurrection, the disciples had no idea what to do… so they went fishing.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and explains that even after 3 years of living with Him, eating with Him, and listening to Him, the disciples still did not understand what Jesus was talking about.

SBC logo 204x204

In fact, it wasn’t until after His ascension that they finally knew what to do: Proclaim the gospel to all nations.

But has modern day Christianity faithfully followed suit? …Or has it fallen into a trap of deception — making the gospel into something it is not.

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher

Key Text: Ephesians 2:8-10

Description: 

Average Guy: If you want to get to heaven, you’d better have a good looking résumé, because the things you do while your here matter.

Average Gal: Total nonsense! Everyone knows that once you get a “Grace Card” from Jesus, works are meaningless.

[argument between the two]

Scandia Host: There is much confusion in the church today as to what good works are and why we need (or need not) do them.

SBC logo 204x204

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves, fills in at the pulpit to preach on a topic that greatly separates Christianity from other religions: GOOD WORKS.

Some say you need to do good works in order to get into heaven; others, we’re saved by grace and that good works don’t matter. …But what does the Bible say?

Notes:

GOOD WORKS

  1. What are they?
  2. Are they the same for everyone?
  3. Who needs them?
  4. Why do them?
