Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/03/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 4:18-25

Description:

Ordinary men.

Ordinary work.

Ordinary lives.

Sitting in their boat
with their father.

And then Jesus speaks:

Follow Me.

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

as the King who has come
now begins to call men to Himself.

First stop: the Sea of Galilee—

where fishermen, brothers, and sons
hear the sovereign call of Christ.

He calls them from their nets.
From their boats.
From life as they knew it.

And in His hands, ordinary men
become fishers of men.

But as crowds begin to gather around Jesus,

Matthew leaves us with a searching question:

Are we merely near Him…

or have we truly heard
the call of the King?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/11/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 6:9-15

Description:

It wasn’t tradition.
It wasn’t politics.
It was prophecy.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we see God giving His people a striking sign: a priest crowned like a king.

Avg Guy: But why would a priest wear a crown?? SBC logo 204x204

They wouldn’t, unless… that crown pointed forward to Jesus — the true Priest-King who would build God’s temple, rule with righteousness, and bring peace through His own sacrifice.
