Sermon Notes
Date: 10/07/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Key Text: Acts 6:1-7; 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Description:
Host: Do you know what a deacon is?
Average Guy: Not really. I just checked the Internet, though, and it said it was someone who was a good friend – one that you could call a brother – and while he might be a pain at times, he’ll be there to help you out if, and when, life takes a turn for the worse.
Host: Not really what I was looking for… but it’s a start. You’d better listen up.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes a break from our study in Revelation to address a question that most Christians don’t have an answer for: What is a deacon?
And this is a question that is especially relevant for Scandia Bible Church, because today we just got another one.

Sermon Notes
Date: 09/30/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 2:1-7
Description: The Ephesians were intolerant and haters… and for that, Jesus praised them.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares with us that in Christ’s letter to the church of Ephesus, He, indeed, did praise them for their intolerance to evil and hating the things He hates.
But most of us don’t consider intolerance a virtue, nor think that there would be something that Jesus actually hates… let alone, wants us to hate too. But that’s exactly what we read.
And in the midst of this, we are told to love.
Sound contradictory? Not at all.
Let’s love the things that God loves and hate the things that God hates… and in so doing, know what it is like to walk in Truth.

Sermon Notes
Date: 09/23/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 1:10-20
Description: What do you think Christ looks like? …Like what you see in the movies? …or the illustrations in children’s Bibles?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that while we all have a picture of Christ in our mind’s eye, the Apostle John gives us a picture of Christ and that is very different from the one we have in our imagination.
What we’ll find is that John is not interested in telling us what Christ looks like; his purpose is to show us what Christ IS LIKE!
And that’s a message that the church needs in every age.

Sermon Notes
Date: 09/16/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 1:9-13a
Description: “And I [John] heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying, ‘Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches….’ I turned… [and] saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us that it was not written by an academic with little practical experience or a lofty leader from an ivory tower: Rather the Lord Jesus gave the Revelation to John the apostle who was a fellow partaker in “the tribulation, kingdom, and perseverance, which are in Jesus.”
And like John, we too can persevere because Christ is in the midst of His church.

Sermon Notes
Date: 09/09/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 1:7-8
Description: There’s no need to purchase Cliffs Notes for the book of Revelation, because the Bible already built it in… and you’ll find it contained in ONE verse.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that after the weeks and weeks we’ll spend sifting through this great book, if all we remember is this one verse, we will probably know enough for whatever trials may come during our lives.
The verse: chapter 1, verse 7.
For what we’ll learn is that it is the keynote of the book, and it tells us that Jesus will return and will come to bring final redemption along with final judgment.

Description: From the very first verses in the book of Revelation, the Apostle John – its author – draws a line in the sand.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in Revelation and shows us that even as early as John’s greeting in the opening verses, he’s quick to set God’s authority over that of every lesser authority and as the only Giver of grace and peace.
