Key Text: Romans 8:31-39
Description:
Questions. Questions that comfort… while at the same time challenge the depths of our faith, and the breadth of our understanding of God’s love.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we explore a passage that demonstrates the unshakeable love of God in Christ Jesus — a love that transcends our trials, our fears, and even our weaknesses.
This is not just theology for the mind, though;
it’s a balm for the soul, especially in times when our faith is tested by the trials of life.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Advent
Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21
Description:
Advent — a time of reflection and anticipation.
Today, Christmas Eve morning, on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao delves into the story that changed the course of humanity: God’s perfect creation and the entrance of sin into all that He had made.
This story is not just about the first sin, though, it’s a mirror reflecting our own struggles, hopes, and the profound need for redemption.
Because when all that Adam and Eve ought to have expected was God’s wrath, in the midst of Almighty’s curse was (and is) a promise of a Savior to come.
So even as sin entered the world, hope also entered with the promise of Jesus the Savior who would crush the head of the serpent once and for all.

Though the pendulum of cultural ideas may swing, God’s word and will do not.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and addresses a passage that, throughout the ages, has been the subject of much cultural pushback and controversy: the ideal, definition, and purpose of MARRIAGE.
And though the culture may shift back and forth in ideas to suit… this passage unwaveringly lays out the fulfillment of God’s UNCHANGING design for marriage:
√ A wife that submits to her husband
AND…
√ A husband that honors his wife

Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: 1 John 3:16-18
Description:
Love.
It’s one of the marks of the Christian.
…Or at least it’s supposed to be.
For it’s one thing — and easy — to say we *love* one another with our words. But it’s quite another — and hard — to show it with our actions.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves shows us what true love looks like by directing us to the perfect example…. And we find it in the book of 1 John.
For it is in this example, that Jesus clearly displays how love is put into action when He willingly, and lovingly, went to the cross and sacrificed Himself for us.

Key Text: Psalm 43
Description:
Let’s face it. Life can be tough.
Everyone has trials and difficulties… but how should we deal with them? When our situation feels hopeless, is it simply a matter of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps? Or is there something else??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves joins us once again and points us to the book of Psalms… which demonstrates that if we truly want to go from hopeLESS to hopeFUL, we must shift our focus off ourselves and onto Christ.
For Christ alone is our salvation and our cause for joy.

Key Text: 1 Peter 2:21-25
Description:
He was pierced through our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
— Isaiah 53:5
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in 1 Peter, in which we come across a passage that Peter masterfully weaves the rich descriptions of Christ as The Suffering Servant, we see in Isaiah 53, into his epistle and expands upon it into application as to how we ought to live.
For Christ’s righteous suffering for our sin is the pattern and power for our own righteous response, when we suffer… as we look to trace our lives over the life of Christ.

Preacher: Colton Bennett, guest preacher
Key Text: Luke 13:1-9 (KJV)
Description:
What would it be like to open the newspaper and read the headlines with Jesus?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back Colton Bennett… a young man who is now not only Pastor Simao’s son-in-law, but someone who stands firm on the Truth — with evidence of his biblical values playing out as a dedicated husband, father-to-be, health professional, Army veteran, and, now, candidate for Idaho legislature.
In today’s message, Colton shows us what it would be like to read the newspaper with the Savior of the world, by giving us a fresh perspective through a very familiar passage.
And while Jesus’ response to the headlines might surprise you and me… what shouldn’t surprise us is the unquestionable underpinning OF His response — His response to humanity:
His deep, deep love.
Notes:
In Luke 13:1-9, Christ’s Love can be seen…

Key Text: Romans 8:5-11
Description:
What you set your mind on matters.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and preaches that when you go at it on your own — apart from God — you are driven by the flesh. Consequently, your mind is set on the carnal, fleshly aspects of life.
…And lest you think it’s working out, the Bible instructs, it does not end well:
“For the mind set on the flesh is DEATH.…”
But when you live your life transformed by Christ, you can’t help but set your mind above, on the Spirit — which ends very well:
“…For the mind set on the Spirit is LIFE and PEACE.…”

Key Text: Romans 8:1-4
Description:
Failures. Failures we all too easily relate to.
Today on Scanida Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and points out that with Paul describing his ongoing battle with sin in chapter 7 and the shortcomings he’s experienced because of it, we’d expect to see a judgement against it in chapter 8.
Instead, right at the beginning, what we see is one of the most triumphant announcements in all of Scripture:
“Therefore there is now no condemnation in Christ Jesus.”

Description:
The BATTLE is REAL.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which Paul addresses, in chapter 7, the very real internal struggle that Christian believers experience everyday: the battle between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit.
Yes we live in a Romans 7 world… but it is equally true that we live in a Romans 8 world where victory is certain.
But until then, life will be marked by battle and this battle will never lighten up… until we are called home or the Lord comes again.
