Beyond the List: Lessons From Paul’s Closing Words [Romans 16:1-16, 21-23]

November 10, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/10/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 16:1-16, 21-23

Description:

Every single person, every single act of service, matters deeply to God.

This includes you.

— That’s the heart of Paul’s message.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Romans where we find Paul seemingly rolling the credits of acknowledge for the conclusion of his letter.

But upon closer inspection, we discover he is not just listing names, but honoring individuals — teachers, hosts, friends, and those who have worked tirelessly in the background — because it all does matter to God.

God’s vision for the church values every member, every gift, and every quiet labor of love. This isn’t just Paul’s list; it’s a picture of what it means to belong to a family of faith.

Called to Care [1 Thessalonians 5:14-15]

October 30, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/30/2022

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Key Text:1 Thessalonians 5:14-15

Description:

In order for God’s Church to function as He intends, we have to CARE.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow brings us a message from Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians exhorting the congregation to CARE about each other’s walk with God.

Paul wasn’t addressing the unruly, fainthearted, or weak…

…but addressing those who were in position to help those people — to notice, come alongside, invest in, and care for those very people around them that were struggling — giving wisdom from above.
