Description: How does one live a victorious Christian life? It’s a mystery to many Christians. For many think that it can only come through years of service on the mission field or perhaps 20 years in the pastorate. Yet Jesus spelled it out simply in His everyday teaching as He walked the earth. Today’s message is an effort to clearly and simply offer precious insights to believers, young and old, on the path to a deeper walk with the Lord.
Description: What does it mean to love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her? This sermon looks at the husband’s responsibilities to the wife in light of the offices of Christ and His ministry to His bride, the church.
Description: We wrestle. We struggle. Everyday. Why? …Because we are under attack. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother Louie Bond fills in behind the pulpit to remind us of this battle – a battle that has been described as making all other battles seem as sport and child’s play. It’s a spiritual battle – not one that happened in historical past, but one that is happening RIGHT NOW, and it concerns everyone. There are no neutrals in this battle, you must choose a side. Because you see in this battle – whose very stage is your soul – you are either for God and against Satan…or for Satan and against God.
Description: Marriage is defined by God as God is its author. God has given husbands and wives different but complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage. Today we live in a culture that not only has usurped God’s authority in redefining marriage, but has also pushed for role androgyny in every area of life. Now, more than ever, the clarity of Scripture is needed to bring the light of truth to these areas.

Description: As church-attending-Christians we hear the same scriptures repeated over the years. They tend to become so familiar that we no longer listen to the little details. The passage in this message has some wonderful insights that are too often overlooked. May the Lord slow each of us down to the place where we can fully grasp what the Bible is telling us in this amazing section from Luke 23.
Description: The Bible calls woman the “glory of man.” This is a wonderful expression used to describe God’s greatest gift to man in creation. God created man for companionship, and as we’ll see in our passage, God provides for Adam this need as well.
Description: God placed Adam in a garden with all the benefits therein but commanded him not to eat from one particular tree. This was a covenant of works. Adam could continue in the paradise garden as long as he was obedient to God’s one command. Adam failed this test of obedience, and in Adam we all failed as well.
But God would send a Second Adam – a better Adam – Jesus Christ: One who would obey all the law perfectly, as well as pay the punishment for the sins of Adam’s fallen race, thereby purchasing salvation for His people.
Description: When you think of the word Sabbath, what comes to mind? For many of us the word sounds ominous and even burdensome. But if that’s the image that comes to our minds, we have missed the richness and wonder of this command. As we look at the opening verses of Genesis Chapter 2, we will see the beauty and understand more clearly what Jesus meant when He said that the Sabbath wasn’t made for man, but man for the Sabbath.
Description: What does it mean that man is made in the image of God? How is man special amidst all the other things that God created? What does God expect of man? All of these questions, and more, are answered in the few, short verses at the end of Genesis Chapter 1. These verses preeminently come against the moral revolution that is happening in the culture around us. Much of the moral debate comes down to a confusion and rebellion over what it means to be made in the Image of God.
Description: 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.
Description: The doctrine of creation is not only under attack outside the church but from within as well. Christians have attempted to fit “millions of years” into the Genesis account by doing hermeneutical gymnastics to Genesis Chapter 1. The end result of these theories has been the undermining of not only the faith of countless Christians but the undermining of the Gospel itself!
Description: The doctrine of creation is under attack. This is a battle of worldviews whereby the entire foundation of Christianity is being eroded and that erosion has drastic effect on our understanding of the fall, sin, death, and the truth of the Gospel. If we can’t trust Genesis 1:1, where exactly do we start believing the Bible?

Description: The first four words of the Bible, “In the beginning God…” declare what follows to be antithetical to all worldly philosophies and worldviews. God’s existence is assumed instead of argued for as the Creator of the universe demands all His creatures to take heed in a history that begins when there were no other witnesses than Himself.
Description: It’s easy to become fascinated by the topic of End Times. The challenge is that many respected theologians disagree about this section of the Book of Revelation. Today we will present one view and seek to support it from other Scriptures. And while this view may not agree with yours, if the result of listening to this message leads you to further study, then the time is well spent. The caution, however, is that good is often the enemy of best. …And the in-depth study of Christology is always the best.
Description: Boaz and Ruth marry and God blesses them with a son whom they name Obed. The family of Elimelech is redeemed and in their redemption would come the Redeemer of the world, Jesus Christ.
Description: Boaz sits at the city gate and waits for the Kinsman Redeemer that is in line to redeem Ruth before him. He gathers a quorum of elders from the city to serve as witnesses to find out if this “closer relative” is willing to exercise his authority to redeem Ruth — because if he will not, Boaz will.
Description: Naomi has a plan to secure a future for her daughter-in-law, Ruth, through a marriage to Boaz. But Boaz hasn’t made a move for the last 6-8 weeks, and how does a woman propose to a man?? Naomi tells Ruth her plan, and Ruth agrees to carry it out.
Description: The Moabite woman, Ruth, gleans from the fields during barley harvest and is surprised by the kindness of a righteous man named Boaz. Boaz is a close relative of Naomi’s husband’s family and is one of the kinsman redeemers to Naomi, and by marriage to Ruth as well.
