Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 10/02/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 9:18-29

SBC logo 204x204Description: For 950 years, Noah walked with God. But in the last captured moment of his life, we read that he was drunk and naked and ridiculed by his own son… leaving many of us wondering: “What happened??? He was such a righteous man.”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we see that the Bible is careful to record sad events such as this in the lives of great men, to both warn us – lest we also fall – and for us to remember that God alone – not Noah – is the hero in this story (and in every story), and it is to Christ that we are to look.

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/27/2016, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

SBC logo 204x204Description: Most Christians don’t associate Easter with Passover. But with some study, one can see how they are beautifully interwoven into God’s perfect tapestry. The parallel of the Passover Lamb and our Lord Jesus — the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God — helps clarify in our minds the wonder of God’s plan for the salvation of believers.

The Value of Your Soul [Mark 8:35-37]

April 5, 2015

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/05/2015, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Mark 8:35-37

Description: Easter morning typically is filled with sermons speaking about Christ’s resurrection from the grave.  In this Easter sermon we move our focus onto those who are without a saving relationship to our resurrected Lord Jesus.  The things of the world, and our own security in the world, tend to capture those who are unsaved.  Our text reflects the very words of Jesus on this matter.

Failure to Keep the Covenant [Judges 1:1-2:5]

March 29, 2015

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/29/2015, Palm Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Judges

Key Text: Judges 1:1-2:5

Description:  Israel fails to take the land and this sets off 350 years of rapid decline.  It’s a downward spiral of depravity as things go from bad to worse.  God hears the cries of His people and over and over He sends a judge to rescue them. But when the judge dies, the people fall back into idolatry and rebellion…and so the cycle continues.

The anticipation is for a judge that will rule righteously and not die. And whose righteous rule will bring a time of peace and the possession of the land.  That anticipation has been met in Christ who is the only righteous king and who alone obeyed the covenant for the prospering of His people.

The Unthankful [Luke 17:11-17]

November 30, 2014

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 11/30/2014

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Luke 17:11-17

Description: As we read the account of Jesus healing the ten lepers, we marvel that only one returned to give thanks. To be quite honest, in reality, we are much more like the 9 than the one who returned. God has so wonderfully blessed each of us. We’ll reflect on His goodness and develop the thought of thankfulness in this message.

Judgment is Coming [Jude 1:5-10]

October 19, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 10/19/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Jude

Key Text: Jude 1:5-10

Description:  Jude wants to draw a strong connection between the false teachers who have infiltrated the church in his day, to those who are known to have incurred the judgment and wrath of God.  These lessons are just as applicable to the modern church as they were to those who worshiped in the first century.

Lessons from the book of Job [Job1-42]

September 21, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/21/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Job

Key Text: Job

Description:  In order to correctly apply the book of Job to our lives, we must take into account the entire book, including the epilogue.  It is in the final 11 verses of Job where we learn of his vindication and restoration and the condemnation of his three friends who have spoken falsely.  While Job never receives the answer to the question of why he is suffering, what he does receive is far greater.

Wisdom from a Young Man [Job 32-37]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/10/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 32-37

Description:  A surprising introduction into the story is a lengthy speech form a young man named Elihu. Elihu, although aroused by anger against Job and his three friends, doesn’t unfairly accuse Job but reminds him of his former proclamations of faith and serves to prepare the way for Job to hear from God Himself.

Key Text: John 16:16-22; 20:1-31

Description:  In this sermon, we look at the promise Jesus made to His disciples in John chapter 16.  He told them that they would be filled with sorrow even as the world rejoices, but that He would turn their sorrow into Joy. Then we look at John chapter 20, to see the fulfillment of that promise and the benediction of peace that Christ pronounced upon His church on that first Easter Sunday and continues to pronounce upon His people today.
