Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/31/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 5:13-16

Description:

In a dark and corrupt world,

Christ does not make His people

hidden,
useless,
and unchanged —

but salt
and light.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus teaches His disciples
what the citizens of His kingdom
are in the world:

salt
of the earth,

and light
of the world.

Not because they are trying
to earn their place
before the King,

but because grace
has made them new.

And now their lives —
their witness,
their good works,
their open allegiance to Christ —

restrain corruption,
pierce the darkness,
and point beyond themselves.

Because the good works
of kingdom citizens

are not meant to draw attention
to them —

but to lead men

to glorify the Father
who is in heaven.

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/15/2026

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Colossians

Key Text: Colossians 4:2-6

Description:

Devote yourselves to prayer.

Stay alert.
Stay thankful.

And walk wisely
toward those who are outside.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of Colossians, where the apostle Paul reminds us that the Christian life is never meant to turn inward.

Those who belong to Christ are not called to spiritual passivity,
but to a life of watchful dependence upon God
and wise engagement with the world.

Prayer is not peripheral.
And proclamation, not optional.

The Christian bows before God in dependence,
and stands before men with gospel clarity.

Because when the church is preoccupied with prayer
and faithful to make Christ known,

God opens doors,
the gospel goes forth,
and He receives all glory.
