…if they are to faithfully shepherd the church as God intends.

Likewise, that same key applies to the “sheep” that follow.

Living Under Covenance and Governance: God’s Blueprint for Humanity [Romans 13:6-7]

July 21, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 07/21/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 13:6-7 | Genesis 9:1-7

Description:  

Covenance and Governance

…we’re instructed to live under both.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which he begins a wide-angle exploration on the principles of authority and human responsibility — and he does this by not only looking to our current text in Romans, but also by turning back to foundational text in Genesis.

SBC logo 204x204

For what we’ll find is that these two passages intersect to not only inform our understanding of authority, the establishment of government, and our role in society… but how we are to govern and steward His creation.

Rejoicing to Suffer in Christ’s Name [1 Peter 4:12-19]

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/14/2024

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: 1 Peter

Key Text: 1 Peter 4:12-19

Description:

For doing evil… or for doing good:

Two different reasons one can suffer.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which believers are urged to ensure that their suffering is a result of their Christian witness rather than wrongdoing.

Peter addresses the reality of suffering for being a Christian and encourages us not to be surprised by the fiery trials we may face.

SBC logo 204x204

Such suffering is cause for rejoicing, for it is a participation in the suffering of Christ… which means on the day in which it is revealed, we will also share in His glory.

Faithful Service: The Life of a Deacon [1 Timothy 3:8-13]

July 7, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 07/07/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Key Text: 1 Timothy 3:8-13

Description:  

Integrity. Dignity. And a deep faith that guides both personal conduct and ministry.

This is what Paul penned to Timothy nearly 2000 years ago as to what to look for in a deacon.

But that was a long time ago! What do these qualifications look like in modern day?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes time out to remind us of this important office within the church as we install two more into service.

SBC logo 204x204

In his message, he helps us understand the vital role deacons play in promoting spiritual health and effective ministry within the church. Plus, we explore how the timeless principles that apply to those in the diaconate, also apply to ALL who seek to serve faithfully and lead with integrity.

Submitting to Authority: Obedience and Conscience [Romans 13:3-5]

June 30, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 06/30/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 13:3-5

Description:  

Avg Guy: Okay… I think I’m getting this. The first two verses in Romans 13 tell us that the reason we submit to authority is because God put them there.

SBC Host: You’re getting it.

Avg Guy: And and then in verses 3 an 4, we read that He put them there for OUR GOOD.

SBC Host: Yes.

Avg Guy: But let’s admit… there ARE instances in which they’re NOT doing things for my good — because THEY themselves are NOT good — and that puts them in direct disobedience to the One who put them in power. And when THAT happens, the *submit-to-authority-thing* does not apply. Because they are breaking the contract and don’t deserve submission or honor. Right??

SBC Host: That’s a popular interpretation. But it’s not exactly what the text means.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we confront a hot passage.

It’s a passage — especially over the past few years — that has been twisted to mean something that it doesn’t. And while there are times when civil disobedience is warranted (we’ll see that later), this is not the text to support it. But rather this is a passage of God’s command to government, and what they are to ideally subscribe to.

SBC logo 204x204

  • But what happens when what they do is not ideal?
  • How, as Christians, do we work through this?
  • And how do we live in a way that honors God by respecting these those that lead… while also upholding our conscience?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 06/23/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 13:1-2

Description:  

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are called to a sometimes challenging but crucial aspect of our faith — submitting to governing authorities.

SBC logo 204x204

For these words from Paul remind us that all authority ultimately comes from God, and because of that truth, our response to earthly authorities reflects our obedience to Him.

Description:  

Repay no one evil for evil; and as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Leave vengeance in God’s hands.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we confront a passage that challenges us to rise above our natural instincts and embrace a radically different way of dealing with conflict and injustice.

SBC logo 204x204

We’re reminded of the transformative power of responding to evil with good and showing kindness, even to our enemies.

It’s a power that in the face of wrongdoing, cultivates our hearts to seek peace and trust His justice.

Transformative Love: Beyond Words to Deeds [Romans 12:9-16]

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 06/09/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 12:9-16

Description:  

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

…A powerful exhortation from Paul to love sincerely, to hate what is evil, and to cling to what is good. He challenges us to be devoted to one another in love, to honor others above ourselves, and to serve the Lord with zeal.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we seek God’s grace to embody these principles in our daily lives as we interact with others.

SBC logo 204x204

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

SBC logo 204x204

— an illustration that emphasizes the diversity of gifts and the importance of each member functioning within their God-given role… with humility, interdependence, and active participation

I Never Knew You [Matthew 7:21-29]

May 26, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/26/2024

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: Matthew 7:21-29

Description:

Sand or Rock?

…two types of foundations on which to build your house.

BUT ONLY ONE CAN WITHSTAND THE STORM.

Which one will you choose??

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves shares that there are only two types of people in this world: those who will enter the kingdom of God, and those who will not.

In the conclusion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns against self-deception — for not everyone who outwardly professes Him as Lord, or who does mighty works in His name, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

You see it all depends on the FOUNDATION in which you build and live your life upon: the firm, stable, secure foundation of Christ… or the unsound, decrepit, parlous foundation of the world.

SBC logo 204x204

For truly only those who are grounded on the Rock — true disciples living a life of obedience to Him — will enter.

To the others, Christ will declare:

“I never knew you.”
