Sermon Notes
Date: 02/02/2020
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 22:16-17
Description: In less than a seven-mile walk, He summed up the Old Testament.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Revelation in which we see, once again, Jesus’ ability to teach great and grand subjects in a concise manner.

We saw it on the road to Emmaus as he talked with the disciples, and we see it again in the last verses of the Bible.
In a single sentence in Revelation, Jesus shows that He is the fulfillment of every hope and promise of the Old Testament, as well as the coming Ruler and King who will bring about the new and final day.

Sermon Notes
Date: 01/26/2020
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 22:10-16
Description: Many look at the book of Revelation like a puzzle or an encrypted message. And, provided they have the correct decoder ring, they can unlock the vast spiritual truth found there.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Revelation and teaches that this book is not about “unlocking” anything, but rather is designed to unveil what was once hidden.

This unveiling is actually what the word Apocalypse or Revelation means, and the final chapter makes this purpose clear.

Sermon Notes

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 22:6-9
Description:
“Behold, I am coming soon.”
For generations of Christians, these are words that have brought comfort, but for some, confusion.
After all, it has been over 2000 years…what does soon mean?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Revelation and shares that these words, when correctly understood, are neither discouraging nor confusing, but rather provide the church with an accurate view of the tension that exists between the expectation of Christ’s return and knowing He may yet tarry.

Have you ever tried to describe something, but had no words for what it was…only for what it wasn’t?

Key Text: Revelation 21:1-4
Description: Our first glimpse of heaven…and we see it in Revelation 21.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that this first glimpse is a picture of a city that John sees coming down from heaven.

Key Text: Revelation 14:1-5
Description: Ever wish you could see into the future?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao shows us that our study Revelation this time around allows us to do just that: giving us a glimpse of God’s people, without question, triumphantly standing with the Lord Jesus on Mount Zion.

In addition, we can’t help but marvel at the depth of God’s faithfulness on display — not even one saint lost, all are known and accounted for.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 18:16-33
Description:
He was described as the “Friend of God.”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that this “friend” was Abraham. And one of the ways this friendship was manifest was when God took him into intimate council before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah – an act in which we not only see God’s reassurance to Abraham of His justice, but we also see a glimpse into an intimacy that foreshadowed, if even in a small way, the intimacy that Christ purchased for us.

- The Perspective of GOD’S FRIENDSHIP
