Enduring Attributes of Fellowship [Colossians 4:10-14]

May 10, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/10/2026

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Colossians

Key Text: Colossians 4:10-14

Description:

Aristarchus. Mark. Justus. Epaphras. Luke. Demas.

Names we might pass over.
Greetings we might rush through.

But tucked inside these final lines is a picture of the church Christ is building.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow nears the conclusion of our study in the book of Colossians—

as the apostle Paul sends greetings from fellow workers, servants, and sufferers in the work of the gospel.

Different names. Different stories. Different histories.

Some serving quietly behind the scenes.
Some bearing the marks of failure and restoration.
Some striving in prayer for the people of God.

All reminding us that Christian fellowship is not shallow.

It is formed in humility,
strengthened through reconciliation,
sustained by faithful ministry,
and held together in Christ alone.

Because the church is not merely a gathering of similar people.

It is the body of Christ.

Delays, Detours, and Divine Timing: Following God’s Plans [Romans 15:22-33]

October 27, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/27/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 15:22-33

Description:

Avg Guy: I have plans! I have things I want to do — places I want to go…

SBC Host: …And let me guess… those “plans” — at least for right now — aren’t God’s plans… are they?

Avg Guy: No, they’re not.

The struggle is real.

How can we support each other in this area? How do we stay committed to God’s plans when our desire might be for different plans?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we find Paul in the middle of delays, detours, and the desire to visit Rome — but he continues to stay dedicated to serving the church and uniting believers across cultures.

And it is through this challenge of responsibility that we witness Paul’s heart for prayer, partnership, and perseverance.

We learn what it means to “strive together” in prayer and the gospel. And ultimately, we see how Paul offers us a model for living out our faith, building unity, and trusting God’s timing in all things.

Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones: Building Each Other Up in Christ [Romans 14:13-23]

September 8, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/08/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 14:13-23

Description:

Avg Guy: My Life. My Freedom!

SBC Host: Hold up a minute. True Christian freedom is not just about exercising your right… It’s also about doing what’s right. For an action that frees you… may enslave another.

Avg Guy: Oh.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans which calls the Christian to navigate the delicate balance between liberty and love.

For true Christian freedom calls us to something greater — building each other up, promoting peace, and putting love first.

Together in Christ: Loving Beyond Our Differences [Romans 14:1-12]

August 25, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/25/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 14:1-12

Description:

It was so trivial.

… But there you were, at odds with another brother or sister in Christ over something like a food choice or a holiday tradition.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and takes us through a section of Scripture that challenges us to rethink how we handle these differences.

What if the real issue wasn’t about who’s right or wrong, but about how we love one another and accept one another in the midst of our diversity?… as we discover how to embrace unity without sacrificing our convictions.
