Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/21/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 11:11-24

Description:  

It’s a call to humility and warning against arrogance.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we encounter the olive tree — a vivid metaphor representing the integration of God’s people: both Jew and Gentile, united in Christ.

But it’s more than a word picture, it’s a profound discussion on the salvation of the Gentiles and their inclusion into this “tree.”

But we, the Gentile believers, are reminded not to boast against the branches (the Jewish people), but rather to consider our own place with sober judgment and gratitude.

For it is through this passage that we see a beautiful illustration of the continuity and unity in God’s covenantal plan — showing that the gospel is indeed “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

The Stewardship of the Mystery [Ephesians 3:7-10]

August 22, 2010

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/22/2010

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 3:7-10

Description:  The life of Paul the Apostle may be one of the greatest examples of the efficacy of God’s grace. Born Saul of Tarsus, Paul would never in a million years have guessed that he would become an Apostle — hand-selected by Jesus Christ to minister to the Gentiles. In fact, he spent his younger years trying to destroy and stamp out the church in its infancy. But God’s grace was given to him and made him a minister of the unfathomable riches found in Christ to the Gentiles. Paul also shows us a glimpse into the sovereign purposes behind the church and that is to declare the Lord’s manifold wisdom to the angels. This is simply an amazing and rich passage of Scripture that deserves our full attention.
