Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 17:7-18
Description: The river seems so inviting and the falls seem so far away… but once the current ensnares you, there is no possibility of escape!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation to show us that there are some things in life which have the appearance of safety, but are actually extremely dangerous.
Such is the reason that the enticement of this world is symbolized as a harlot: Her seduction is the path of doom for she draws her strength from Satan, himself.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, guest preacher
Key Text: Jude 17-25
Description:
False Teacher: Hello everyone, my name is Bob.
Group: Hi Bob.
False Teacher: …And I’d like to convince you of my heresy and drag you all down to hell with me.
Group: (various responses of interest)
SBC Host: If it were only that obvious.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Brother in Christ, Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit to bring us a timely message from the book of Jude:
We must be on guard and “contend earnestly for the faith” because “certain persons have crept in unnoticed.”
He goes on to warn that they will draw many with their engaging personalities, slick style, and ability to turn a phrase… drawing them into a subtle trap of deception, with the sole purpose of leading you away from the pure Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Description: ARMAGEDDON — a term well-known in both Christian circles and pop culture.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that when most hear the term, what they picture is the final doom’s day battle — the war to end all wars — and indeed, it will be….

Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 16:1-7
Description: The wrath of God — one of the least popular themes in the Bible.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that though God’s judgement and wrath may not be subjects people flock to, the Bible mentions them very clearly… and often.
What does chapter 16 reveal about God’s wrath? …And how are we as Christians to think about it?

Key Text: Revelation 15:1-8
Description: Have you ever had a dream in which you were being pursued? Have you ever awoke in a cold sweat because you were almost caught?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which he teaches that the feeling of being pursued is one the ancient Israelites knew well, as God brought about a great deliverance in the Exodus.
But as great a picture as the Exodus is in showing us God’s deliverance, the Bible speaks of an even greater “Exodus” with a freedom that comes from One who is greater than Moses.

Preacher: Anthony Mathenia, guest preacher
Key Text: Luke 24:1-33
Description: “If you could experience just ONE event in Biblical history… what would it be?”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome Guest Pastor Anthony Mathenia, from Christ Church in Radford, Virginia… who asks us this very question: What one event would you choose?
There are so many, to be sure — whether we choose to watch the Lord speak the Universe into existence or witness the miraculous birth of Christ; be there as God parts the Red Sea or marvel as Jesus prepares a meal for five thousand.
The truth is, it would be hard to choose just one.
But as we contemplate the epic experiences we might choose, Pastor Mathenia asks us to consider an event that might not make our Top Ten:
What would happen if we took a walk with Jesus?

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher
Series: Five Solas
Key Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-17
Description: The Protestant Reformation — an event in church history we tend to associate with Martin Luther and other 16th Century reformers. We tend to forget, however, that Jesus Christ was the Original Reformer.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and shares that Martin Luther and others were simply following Jesus’ example. For the Pharisees and scribes held that the traditions and laws of man were equal with Scripture — just as the Medieval Church and the Pope, 1500 years later in Luther’s day, said that Scripture AND tradition were the authority on truth.
…And, the argument continues to this day: To find truth, are other influences required to come alongside the Holy Scriptures of the Bible… or is the Bible enough?

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 14:16-20
Description: Fire and brimstone preaching… a style that has certainly has fallen out of contemporary fashion. And yet, the Bible is chock-full of explicit and implicit warning against the coming wrath of God.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that whether the message is read from the Bible, or preached from the pulpit, countless people hear it and delay bowing the knee before God in repentance.
The day is coming, however, when it will be too late to repent… and both the believer and the non-believer will be harvested: one to eternal reward — the other, eternal damnation.

Key Text: Revelation 14:6-12
Description: The future of the non-believer unfolds in John’s vision.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which three angels reveal to John the fate of the non-believer:

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.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves, fills in at the pulpit and digs into these questions by looking at a familiar text, but does so in a way that many churches fail to address — by looking at the context of the letter in which it was written.

Description:
666
… a number in the Bible that for many strikes fear.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares with us the irony in that while the being afraid of six-six-six (hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia) is a real thing (as is the word to describe it), its placement in the Bible is not so that we recoil in terror, but rather that we see the POWER of God in all things.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that the antichrist has captured the imagination of people everywhere — churchgoer or not.
But what does the Bible say about the antichrist? …And how does that relate to what we read in the book of Revelation?

Description: The Cross of Jesus Christ silenced the mouth of Satan before the throne of God and forever removed him from the court of heaven.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us that with Satan unable to accuse believers before God, he turned his attention to the church on earth.
And it is for or this reason, the church on earth has been called The Church Militant… for it is THE CHURCH AT WAR!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation where we see the Trumpet Judgments come to an end in much the same way as the Seal Judgments — with images representing the final Day of Judgment and the consummation of Christ’s kingdom.
For the goal is that Heaven and Earth are one and that God’s temple fills the earth… and the final destruction of all His enemies is seen.
