Key Text: Romans 10:5-8
Description:
It’s closer than you think.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are confronted with a startling truth:
When it comes to our spiritual needs, our world has conditioned us to search for complex solutions; when, in fact, the righteousness that leads to salvation is closer than we think.

For it’s not about lofty achievements or rigorous adherence to law: it’s about faith, belief, and confession — elements deeply woven into the fabric of our being.

Key Text: Romans 9:30 — 10:4
Description:
It’s not about what WE CAN DO…
but about WHAT’S BEEN DONE.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and invites us into a radical reimagining of what it means to be Right with God.
Because we live in a world where we often find ourselves measuring our worth by our works.

But… it’s not about what we can DO, but about what has been DONE FOR US, through Jesus Christ.
So, how does this shift change the way we live, believe, and pursue God’s heart??
The answer?… rests in the beautiful gospel simplicity of finding righteousness through belief in Christ Alone.

VINDICATED and VICTORIOUS.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and shows us how Christ’s suffering unites us with His victory.

Having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit… Christ died — the Just for the unjust — for sins, once for all.… so that He might bring us to the One in heaven whose right hand He sits: GOD.

Notes:
Putting the differing theological theories to the test:
- Where did Jesus go?
- When did Jesus go?
- What did He do there?
- Who was His audience?
- How well does this fit with Peter’s overall message of Christ’s suffering, victory, and vindication in chapter3, verses 18-22?
“When you have eliminated all that which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

Key Text: Romans 9:14-18
Description:
SBC Host: God extends mercy to some but hardens the hearts of others.
Avg Guy: That doesn’t seem fair!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which the Apostle Paul confronts us with a question of God’s justice… His righteousness.
It’s a passage of mystery, of divine choice and the human heart, that has puzzled and inspired believers for centuries… for it pushes us to the edge of where our understanding meets God’s unsearchable judgements and unfathomable ways.

And though we may not completely understand, there’s no denying the magnitude of His sovereignty and the depth of His mercy.
For when we acknowledge God’s absolute freedom — though it may challenge — we begin to find comfort as we see our place in His redemptive plan.

How does God choose?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Romans in which the Apostle Paul confronts us with the profound mysteries of divine sovereignty through the narratives of two prominent biblical figures — two brothers — whose stories transcend time and culture: Jacob and Esau.

And it is through these siblings that questions are raised that have echoed throughout the corridors of Christian history: How DOES God choose?
And what does it mean to be elected by Him?
And, ultimately, where do we find ourselves in this grand narrative of grace and mercy?

Description:
Always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you…. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
1 Peter 15b, 17
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that it is when we, the believer, face the strongest opposition, we are most often used of God.

For when we endure suffering — while maintaining good works and sharing Christ — we are able to demonstrate, for all to see, the HOPE we have within.
