Sermon Notes
Date: 10/27/2024
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 15:22-33
Description:
Avg Guy: I have plans! I have things I want to do — places I want to go…
SBC Host: …And let me guess… those “plans” — at least for right now — aren’t God’s plans… are they?
Avg Guy: No, they’re not.
The struggle is real.
How can we support each other in this area? How do we stay committed to God’s plans when our desire might be for different plans?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we find Paul in the middle of delays, detours, and the desire to visit Rome — but he continues to stay dedicated to serving the church and uniting believers across cultures.
And it is through this challenge of responsibility that we witness Paul’s heart for prayer, partnership, and perseverance.
We learn what it means to “strive together” in prayer and the gospel. And ultimately, we see how Paul offers us a model for living out our faith, building unity, and trusting God’s timing in all things.

Sermon Notes

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: Colossians
Key Text: Colossians 1:1-2
Description:
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Imagine penning such a greeting from prison. Because that’s what Paul did. What’s more, he didn’t even know them — but he loved them.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow embarks upon a new study in the book Colossians, which literally is a letter from a man who — though he was in jail — didn’t let the bars of imprisonment prevent him from giving others the gift of freedom… through the love and Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 15:14-21
Description:
“They who had no news of Him shall see, And they who have not heard shall understand.”
What drives a person to dedicate their life to sharing the gospel in places where Christ has never been named??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Romans where we see Paul’s burning passion to preach the good news — not to build on someone else’s foundation — but to bring the light of Christ to the ends of the earth.
For it is through his example we learn what it means to boldly live out our calling, to serve with humility, and to carry the message of Christ where it is most needed.

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.

Description:
Christian unity.
How do we build a church community that truly reflects the love and unity of Christ?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we’re called — in our world filled with division and self-interest — to something radically different: bearing with one another, living in harmony, and overflowing with hope and joy through the power of the Holy Spirit.
For when we follow Christ’s example, we can transform our relationships and unite in glorifying God together.

Avg Guy: My Life. My Freedom!
SBC Host: Hold up a minute. True Christian freedom is not just about exercising your right… It’s also about doing what’s right. For an action that frees you… may enslave another.
Avg Guy: Oh.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans which calls the Christian to navigate the delicate balance between liberty and love.
For true Christian freedom calls us to something greater — building each other up, promoting peace, and putting love first.

Key Text: Romans 14:1-12
Description:
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.
