Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/31/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 13:7-9

Description:

What kind of love leads a Shepherd to take the sword?
…even for sheep He knows will scatter?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah, where we see God summon the sword of judgment to strike His Shepherd — His own Son.

This is not divine abandonment… but divine design.
For at the cross, justice and mercy collide.
And the result? A people refined —
not spared from the fire, but shaped by it.

Because you see, the gospel does not merely save us from wrath.
It calls us into communion — into a life where we cry with one voice: “The LORD is my God.”

March 31, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Key Text: 2 Samuel 9

Description:

What does a crippled man from Lo-debar have to do with Easter??

…More than we might initially think.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Resurrection Sunday 2024, Pastor Monty Simao opens the book of 2 Samuel to uncover the profound depths of Easter’s message tucked within an ancient story: the story of Mephibosheth.

For it is a vivid picture of our own condition before God: broken, in exile, and desperately in need of grace.

And yet, it is also a story of unexpected summons, of grace that seeks us out, and of a royal table where there is always a place reserved for us — not because of who we are…

…but because of Whose we are.
