Key Text: Genesis 31:43-55
Description: Mizpah. In Christian circles today, when you hear this word it’s often associated with little coins or trinkets – jewelry in essence – that people buy to show their prayer for protection over another. They can even be seen by some as romantic. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us that this is NOT how Mizpah was utilized in the Bible… in fact, it was quite the opposite.

Key Text: Genesis 31:22-42
Description: Have you ever been glued to the television watching a high-speed chase of cops and robbers? No doubt, this modern phenomena has captured us all at some point. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us a high-speed chase “Old Testament style” – complete with flocks and herds, an angry posse, false god, and a thieving woman on a camel. What more could you ask for?

Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 31:1-21
Description: There are times in our lives when God, through His grace, will change our affections toward a particular situation to prepare our hearts for a difficult decision. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us how the Lord did this very thing in the lives of Jacob and his wives. The circumstance: difficult relations with Laban, Jacob’s father-in-law. The result: Jacob decides to leave Haran and head back to the Land of Promise; and in that we see the rise of the new Patriarch of the Faith as he steps toward Canaan and fills the shoes of his father Isaac.

Key Text: Genesis 30:25-43
Description: Isn’t interesting… that when things go wrong, it’s easy for us to place the blame on God; but when things go well, we’re quick to take the credit and praise ourselves. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that Jacob learned the incredibly difficult lesson that all things come from the Lord, and it is God alone who brings the increase… And God alone who is sovereign over all the affairs of men.

Key Text: Genesis 29:31 – 30:24
Description: Sometimes we come across portions of the Bible that hard to believe were ever recorded… portions that read more like “Daytime Television” would. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and moves us through a section that would be more at home in the tabloids and gossip rags than would seem to fit with Holy Writ… and yet God is bringing about His promises in the midst of a sinful fiasco, and behind all the ugliness there is a purpose.

Key Text: Genesis 29:15-30
Description: The “School of Hard Knocks” – a school that no one would voluntarily enroll… But sometimes God has other plans. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that oftentimes God uses trials and difficulties to grow and sanctify us – especially when our lives pattern that of Jacob: lives governed by worship of self and deceit. Yes…
…if for no other purpose than to build our character and faith in Him alone.

Description: His bags were packed, and he had left for Haran to secure a wife; but what Jacob didn’t know was that God was already ahead of him to secure his heart. Yes…
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that some of the most difficult things we go through in life are but the hand of God molding us into the person He wants us to be: sanctifying us as He removes the chaff.

Key Text: Genesis 28:10-22
Description: The story of Jacob’s ladder has captured the attention of generations of people far and wide, as we hear in popular music and in church Sunday Schools across America…. yet the real meaning and significance of Jacob’s vision has largely remained unknown. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that in the New Testament, Jesus, Himself, tells us that He is the promise of Jacob’s Ladder and the only gate to heaven… And the only one who makes God to dwell with man.

Key Text: Genesis 28:1-9
Description: Even with all of his deception, Jacob gets sent off by his father, Isaac, with the blessing of Abraham and the promises of the Covenant-Keeping God. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that, in addition, from this very deceiver God would name Israel. Because the story of the Patriarchs is not a story of sinlessness, but a story of grace…and it’s our story as well.

Description: God’s will cannot be thwarted. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that when the patriarch Isaac attempts to do just that… the result leaves him trembling in fear.

Key Text: Genesis 27:1-29
Description: What is the spiritual atmosphere in your home? Sure, if you have children, you likely teach them about who God is and what He requires… with your words.
How often, though, do your ACTIONS teach for you things that you’d never say out loud?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis in which we’ll see that even in the midst of our failings, God is able to bring about His purposes; and that His grace is always evident as He providentially carries out His decrees.

Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 26:18-35
Description: Imagine, you live in the desert. Water is precious, difficult to come by. Your family and livestock depend on its very presence for life. The Lord has blessed you though, for you have a well dug a generation before that generously supplies this need. Your neighbor, however, is stirred with envy by your abundance and by what your well represents… so much so that he wishes you didn’t have it — so he takes it away, filling your well to the brim with dirt.
How do you respond? What’s your tendency in situations like this?
Do you fight? …or do you “lay down your arms?”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis in which we see this very scenario play out the in the life of Isaac… and it is through this narrative that we see that whether we choose to be fighters or pacifists is not really the issue… the issue is the attitude of our hearts, our understanding of the Gospel, and whether or not we really trust God.

Key Text: Genesis 25:19-34
Description: The doctrine of Election… Perhaps no where in the Bible is it seen more clearly than in Genesis Chapter 25 and Apostle Paul’s explanation of it in Romans Chapter 9. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the Book of Genesis and shares with us that the doctrine of Election is not some philosophical ethereal kind of “shelf doctrine,” but rather the picture of God’s sovereignty in the affairs of men and the way of salvation.

Key Text: Genesis 25:1-18
Description: One wedding and two funerals… It would seem, using simple math, that the bad would outweigh the good. But not in this case.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that in the first half of chapter 25 these very ceremonies are recorded. But instead of an overwhelm of despair, we see the baton of God’s promise pass to a new generation, and we see the hope of God’s people – which extends beyond the grave.
The three wives of Abraham and his sons: Sarah and Isaac (center); Hagar and Ishmael (left); and Keturah and her children (right) – Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

Key Text: Genesis 24:28-67
Description:
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and points out that most Christians will readily agree that God is sovereign… but how many have actually stopped to examine what that really means – and then to understand how God’s providence and decrees fit in within all that? Well Genesis 27, among other things, gives us a beautiful picture of the relationship between God’s eternal decrees and His providential means of carrying those decrees out. …And then you’ll know why you should pray.

Key Text: Genesis 24:10-27
Description: When do you pray? For most of us, we pray only when we are in trouble and desperate. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and explains that we do this because our “default setting” is self-reliance instead of trusting God. In today’s passage we see a proper perspective of prayer:… a perspective that shows us that we shouldn’t pray when we are desperate – rather we should realize just how desperate we always are.

Key Text: Genesis 24:1-9
Description: Chapter 24: it’s the longest chapter in the book of Genesis. But instead of it being a great theological treatise, what we find is a love story. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that unlike the love stories we may be accustomed to, this one doesn’t start with “boy meets girl;” rather, this love story begins with faithful Abraham commanding his servant Eliezer to put his hand under his thigh… vowing before the Lord.

Key Text: Genesis 23
Description: Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and takes us to chapter 23 – a chapter which, admittedly, following Abraham binding his son Isaac to the alter as as a sacrificial offering to the Lord in the previous chapter…may seem a bit anti-climatic. In chapter 23, we see that Abraham’s wife, Sarah, has died… But instead of focusing on her death, Abraham enters into a land negotiation.
Why is this all here, and what is God showing us through it? …The answer may surprise you.
