Key Text: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Description:
“Life feels overwhelming… and my struggles seem to never end.”
When this seems to be our reality, how do we keep going?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao brings us to 2 Corinthians as our church continues to feel the weight of overwhelm.
In Paul’s letter, he reminds us not to lose heart, even when our outer circumstances are tough.
Why?
…Because our temporary troubles are producing something far greater:
An eternal glory that outweighs them all.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Key Text: Lamentations 3:19-24
Description:
The suffering, intense.
The pain and sorrow, all-consuming.
The struggle, real.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow turns to the book of Lamentations as our congregation continues to struggle in this very real way.
In our passage we read how the author also faced intense suffering and all-consuming pain and sorrow.
But then, something remarkable happens — he chooses to remember.
He remembers that — even in the worst of times — God’s steadfast love never ceases, for His mercies are new every morning. And it is through this recollection that the author finds the hope that transcends even the deepest despair.
…Which ultimately is the reminder we need:
Hope is not something we wait for, but something we remember.

Key Text: Job 18-19
Description:
What do you do when everything falls apart and it feels like even God has turned away?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao presses pause on our Romans study and turns to Job, as our church mourns the loss of our dear brother in Christ, Elder Keith Barker.
In the midst of unimaginable suffering, Job offers a surprising declaration of hope:
“I know that my Redeemer lives.”
How can we find that same hope when life feels unbearable?
God helps us with this through the book of Job: a book where despair meets redemption and faith rises from the ashes of suffering.

It was so trivial.
… But there you were, at odds with another brother or sister in Christ over something like a food choice or a holiday tradition.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and takes us through a section of Scripture that challenges us to rethink how we handle these differences.
What if the real issue wasn’t about who’s right or wrong, but about how we love one another and accept one another in the midst of our diversity?… as we discover how to embrace unity without sacrificing our convictions.

Description:
Debt: the state of owing and an obligation to repay.
…But, what if there was ONE debt we should never repay?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we’re challenged to allow this idea to transform who we are — as we live in the light of Christ’s return and cast off the deeds of darkness.
Because there IS one debt we should never repay, but rather embrace.
…And that debt is Love.

Key Text: Romans 13:3-4 | Matthew 22:17-22
Description:
And then Jesus said, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans — this time gaining additional insight by exploring our passage through the lens of Matthew.
In a world where government authority often intersects with our personal faith, we’re tasked to navigate the tension between our civic duties and our ultimate allegiance to God.
How’s that even possible??
What does it means to ‘render to Caesar,’ while at the time, recognizing the limits of earthly power?

Notes:
Pastor Monty’s Guidelines in Determining:
When to Pushback Against Perceived Overreach
1. Maintain respect for legitimate authorities.
2. Discern between core duties and prudential judgements.
3. Evaluate the longterm ramifications.
4. Seek counsel and Christian wisdom.
5. Weigh the testimony to the watching world.
6. Ask, “Is it worth the offense?”
7. Pray for discernment and courage.

Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 13:1-7 | Revelation 13:1-10
Description:
Romans 13. Revelation 13.
— Two chapters of the Bible containing two powerful, yet seemingly contrasting passages: Divine Order and Beastly Rule.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and juxtaposes it with Scripture from the Bible’s final book: Revelation.
In Romans 13, believers are exhorted to submit to governing authorities, recognizing them as instituted by God to maintain order and justice.
But then in Revelation 13, we’re presented with vivid imagery of governing powers depicted as a beast waging war against the saints.
What does all this mean??
And as Christians, what are we to make of it?
If governance in our earthly world can reflect both divine order and opposition to God — in the words of Francis Schaeffer —
“How shall we then live?”
