Date: 12/13/2020

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Key Text: Hebrews 2:5-9

Description: God created man in His image. He created him with an intent and purpose. But, was God’s intent thwarted by sin?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and explains that some do say God’s initial intent was thwarted by sin, and yet God doesn’t throw man on the scrap pile of bad ideas.

Rather, He sets about redeeming man and restoring mankind to His original intent… showing us that His plans are never thwarted.

…And that’s good news for rebels like us.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 9:8-17

SBC logo 204x204Description: When most people consider the Covenant that God made with Noah, they have the tendency to think of rainbows …and not much else.  But in this incredible section of Scripture we see promises that extend to every man, woman, and animal, and even the earth itself.  And in those promises we see where God’s judgment and mercy meet foreshadowing the final redemptive work of Christ.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/11/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 9:1-7

SBC logo 204x204Description: Genesis Chapter 9 put bacon on the menu. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Genesis in which we see that with the flood behind us, the old world is gone – it is destroyed. But through God’s grace a new one is provided…with Noah, in a sense, acting as another “Adam” – and all generations of the earth coming through him. And so one of the obvious questions becomes (besides allowing for bacon) in what ways has God’s relationship with man changed since the flood, and in what ways is it still the same? For that you’re going to have to listen, but one thing is for sure: With Chapter 9, we gain a fuller picture of the character of God, as we begin to catch a glimpse of the depth of His love towards man with the great and incredible unfolding of His Covenant of Grace.

Notes: 

  • Creation Ordinances (Gen 9:1-7)
  • Covenant Stipulations (Gen 9:8-11)
  • Covenant Sign (Gen 9:12-17)

Some Questions Answered:

  • In what ways did the flood change God’s expectations of men?
  • Does God expect of Noah the same things as He expected from Adam? 
  • Is man still in the Image of God after the fall into sin?
  • Does man still have dominion in a world that was wiped out because of man’s rebellion?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we explore Noah and the Ark, as Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the Book of Genesis. And while most are quite familiar with the story of Noah, many do not realize just how important he is in redemptive history… and how his life and calling provide us with a beautiful picture of the final Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

… Questions that many have asked, and it’s why this passage may be the most controversial passage in the entire book of Genesis. And while many, over the years, have offered answers as to who they think the sons of God and Niphilim are… what we’ll find is that the best answers are the ones that best fit the context of the book of Genesis.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 5

SBC logo 204x204Description: A long list of dead men who lived long ago…what’s the point???

Chapter 5 is one of those chapters we usually skip, after all, just about the whole thing is a genealogy. The Apostle Paul tells us though that:

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”

…And that means that even Genesis 5 is given by God for our benefit.  For those who doubt, all we can say is “Come and see.”

Key Text: Genesis 2:4-17

SBC logo 204x204Description: God placed Adam in a garden with all the benefits therein but commanded him not to eat from one particular tree.  This was a covenant of works.  Adam could continue in the paradise garden as long as he was obedient to God’s one command.  Adam failed this test of obedience, and in Adam we all failed as well.

But God would send a Second Adam – a better Adam – Jesus Christ: One who would obey all the law perfectly, as well as pay the punishment for the sins of Adam’s fallen race, thereby purchasing salvation for His people.
