Preacher: Keith Barker, elder
Key Text: 1 Cor 15:12-19
Description: As Christians, the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death is absolutely essential to our salvation — our forgiveness of sin. His resurrection shows the validation of God the Father that indeed, “It is finished” — God’s redemptive plan complete.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/31/2013, Easter Sunday
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Key Text: Luke 24 and Zechariah 3:1-10
Description: Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Christ, solves the problem of tension that existed among the Old Testaments prophets concerning the coming of the Messiah. The prophets prophesied that the coming Messiah would be a suffering servant who would be scourged, smitten, beaten, and pierced and yet he would also be a conquering king. How could these two apparent contradictions in description possibly be? The answer is found in Easter.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/24/2013, Palm Sunday
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Selected Texts: Genesis 17, 35, 46, 49 / Rev 19 / 2 Sam 5, 7 / Mark 11
Description: Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, and there is perhaps no greater day to focus on Christ’s kingly office. God gave Abraham a royal grant and prophecy that He would make a people for Himself and establish a Kingdom and righteous King for His people. This covenantal promise was fulfilled in the life of David and found its ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Christ.

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder
Key Text: 2 Peter 1:1-11
Description: There are some things that humans do well. God, on the other hand, does all things perfectly. Sanctification leading to glorification is one of the most exciting studies in the Bible. Let’s find out together what Christians can expect both today and in the future.

Key Text: Romans 8:29-30
Description: Marvel of marvels! Christ Jesus loves you and I. The Bible teaches that He, in His great love for sinners, draws us with velvet ‘chains of love’ into an eternal saving relationship with our God and Heavenly Father.

Description: God does not need your money, and there is no life in legalism. If we cannot be spontaneous and give from a cheerful heart, then God would be pleased if we give nothing at all.

Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:11-16
Description: Jonah gives the pagan sailors a false impression of God and continues in his flight from God — even seeking his own death before repenting and obeying God’s command to go to his enemies. But God pursues Jonah with a storm. We find out in this passage that God is also pursuing the pagan sailors, and Jonah’s rebellion is what God uses to display His grace and mercy to them.

Sermon NotesDate: 02/10/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:4-10
Description: Jonah is on the run and running hard away from God. God calls him to Nineveh, and he heads in the opposite direction towards Tarshish. God pursues Jonah with a violent storm to wake Jonah from His sinful slumber. The storm shows us two things about God’s pursuit of man. The first is that it is great and the second is that it is gracious.
Jonah is on a ship with pagans representing many nations all serving the idols of their land. Jonah represents one type of person who flees in the path of the Pharisee while the pagan sailors represent another type of person who flees in the path of the Prodigal. In this story we see God pursuing both Pharisees and Prodigals, which is good news for us.

Key Text: Genesis 3
Description: God, the Master Builder, is a perfectionist. He entrusted man with the care of a garden of abundance. God’s one request gave man a chance to submit himself to his loving Creator, but, in fact, the future of all humanity took a terrible turn.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:1-6
Description: Jonah is on the run and running hard away from God. God calls him to Nineveh, and he heads in the opposite direction knowing that his rebellion may lead to his death and even the death of others. Consumed in his hatred for the Assyrians, he rises up against God and then starts on a steady downward flight with an end that will cost him more than he was willing to spend.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:1-3
Description: Jonah is a storied presentation of the gospel and juxtaposes the way and heart of man and the way and heart of God. Man flees and God pursues. Man flees in one of two ways: by obedience (as the Pharisee) or in disobedience (as the Prodigal). God pursues both Pharisees and Prodigals with His message of salvation in the good news of Christ.

Preacher: Tony Freitas, missionary
Key Text: Luke 14:16-21
Description: Ten years, one ambitious vision: 100 million people touched with the gospel around the world. Those are the marching orders of Reach Global, the international arm of the Evangelical Free Church of America, which exists to multiply healthy churches among all people for the glory of God.
Today we are joined by Scandia Bible Church supported Reach Global Missionary, Tony Freitas — a man, together with his family, called by God to faithfully serve the people of Tanzania, Africa. They are living, as Tony says,
“…a life of serving the poorest of the poor. It’s a tough life but there is nothing that I could possibly imagine to be more fulfilling than serving the Lord! I am not a formal pastor and have not been to seminary, yet God has clearly called our family to serve Him in Africa to use the gifts that he has given each of us. As 1 Peter 4:10 states, ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms.’”

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Key Text: Psalm 1
Description: Psalm 1 is the “preface” psalm to the entire book of Psalms. We see here the blessings of God pronounced upon His people and the curses of God upon the wicked. It draws its theme from the blessings and curses of the covenant of Sinai outlined in Deuteronomy 28-31 and we see its echo in the New Testament in what is commonly called the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount.

Key Text: Luke 2: 8-10
Description: Thousands of very nice people consider themselves Christians. When we examine Scripture carefully we find that there is much more to being a Christian than just praying and going to church.

Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21
Description: Christmas is preeminently about God’s promise of a coming Savior who would rescue man from the curse of the fall. God’s mercy and grace is always seen in His works and in His interactions with man. In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve shook their fists to Heaven as they rebelled against God and God cursed them according to the covenant agreement. No sooner had the curse been said God also proclaimed the Gospel of a coming Savior.

Series: Ephesians
Key Text: Ephesians 6:18-24
Description: This book began proclaiming that God has given the believer every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places and now Paul has taken us from the heavenlies and brought us to our knees. Now as we conclude this book, we are reminded that it is all of God and we require His strength to sustain us …prayer helps us remember that.
