Date: 11/26/2023
Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: 1 John 3:16-18
Description:
Love.
It’s one of the marks of the Christian.
…Or at least it’s supposed to be.
For it’s one thing — and easy — to say we *love* one another with our words. But it’s quite another — and hard — to show it with our actions.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves shows us what true love looks like by directing us to the perfect example…. And we find it in the book of 1 John.
For it is in this example, that Jesus clearly displays how love is put into action when He willingly, and lovingly, went to the cross and sacrificed Himself for us.

What happens when we can’t pray?
It’s not that we have forgotten HOW to pray, it’s just that we have no words… We’re weak.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see that when we can’t pray… God helps us:
The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf when words cannot be found.
For God meets us in our weakness and upholds us in His grace.

Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: Psalm 43
Description:
Let’s face it. Life can be tough.
Everyone has trials and difficulties… but how should we deal with them? When our situation feels hopeless, is it simply a matter of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps? Or is there something else??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves joins us once again and points us to the book of Psalms… which demonstrates that if we truly want to go from hopeLESS to hopeFUL, we must shift our focus off ourselves and onto Christ.
For Christ alone is our salvation and our cause for joy.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 2:21-25
Description:
He was pierced through our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
— Isaiah 53:5
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in 1 Peter, in which we come across a passage that Peter masterfully weaves the rich descriptions of Christ as The Suffering Servant, we see in Isaiah 53, into his epistle and expands upon it into application as to how we ought to live.
For Christ’s righteous suffering for our sin is the pattern and power for our own righteous response, when we suffer… as we look to trace our lives over the life of Christ.

Preacher: Colton Bennett, guest preacher
Key Text: Luke 13:1-9 (KJV)
Description:
What would it be like to open the newspaper and read the headlines with Jesus?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back Colton Bennett… a young man who is now not only Pastor Simao’s son-in-law, but someone who stands firm on the Truth — with evidence of his biblical values playing out as a dedicated husband, father-to-be, health professional, Army veteran, and, now, candidate for Idaho legislature.
In today’s message, Colton shows us what it would be like to read the newspaper with the Savior of the world, by giving us a fresh perspective through a very familiar passage.
And while Jesus’ response to the headlines might surprise you and me… what shouldn’t surprise us is the unquestionable underpinning OF His response — His response to humanity:
His deep, deep love.

Notes:
In Luke 13:1-9, Christ’s Love can be seen…
- through the “parable of tragedy.”
- in His concern for souls, chiefly, over carnal existence.
- in His warning for sinners.
- in His intercession on our behalf.
- in His judgement of wickedness.
- in His substitutionary death for our crimes.

Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 8:5-11
Description:
What you set your mind on matters.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and preaches that when you go at it on your own — apart from God — you are driven by the flesh. Consequently, your mind is set on the carnal, fleshly aspects of life.
…And lest you think it’s working out, the Bible instructs, it does not end well:
“For the mind set on the flesh is DEATH.…”
But when you live your life transformed by Christ, you can’t help but set your mind above, on the Spirit — which ends very well:
“…For the mind set on the Spirit is LIFE and PEACE.…”

Key Text: Romans 8:1-4
Description:
Failures. Failures we all too easily relate to.
Today on Scanida Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and points out that with Paul describing his ongoing battle with sin in chapter 7 and the shortcomings he’s experienced because of it, we’d expect to see a judgement against it in chapter 8.
Instead, right at the beginning, what we see is one of the most triumphant announcements in all of Scripture:
“Therefore there is now no condemnation in Christ Jesus.”

Description:
The BATTLE is REAL.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which Paul addresses, in chapter 7, the very real internal struggle that Christian believers experience everyday: the battle between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit.
Yes we live in a Romans 7 world… but it is equally true that we live in a Romans 8 world where victory is certain.
But until then, life will be marked by battle and this battle will never lighten up… until we are called home or the Lord comes again.

What motivates you to respect authority?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow returns to our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that because God has liberated us from the power of sin, we, therefore, honor Him by submitting to proper authority.
Because the only true motivation for respect of authority are His compassionate chains of grace.

Isolation.
More than ever, today’s world makes it easy for us to be isolated from others.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves fills in at the pulpit and shares that with the current advancements in technology you could literally NEVER have to leave your home for any of your needs.
But we NEED others.
And God did not create us to be alone.
This is especially true amongst believers. We were created for love and good works, and that is demonstrated by be being together… through discipleship.

Like a sleeping dragon, sin reclines guarding its hoard.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and explains that without the law…
√ Men lie at ease.
√ Their consciences are at rest.
√ They think good of themselves.
But then the law comes in and rouses the dragon — turning what was once seemingly peaceful to unleashed fury.
For the more Law reveals, the more Dragon reveals… its true character.

Key Text: Romans 6:15-23
Description:
Whom do you serve?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and poses this question.
Because while it’s not uncommon for an unbeliever to see themselves as living in freedom while Christians submit themselves to bondage, the Bible paints a different picture.
For the one you serve is your master.
If you serve sin, you are enslaved to sin… and your path leads to death.
If you serve righteousness, you are freed from sin… and, instead, enslaved to God who gives eternal life.
Your choice.

Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 6:8-14
Description:
LEGALISM.
It’s attractive because it stresses obedience to the law. It’s weak because the law is unable to help us in our plight.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shares how Paul had been accused of preaching a gospel that encouraged immoral living — for some lived as if sin still reigned in their lives.
But that was not what Paul was doing at all!
Rather than encouraging loose living, Paul preached the gospel of GRACE.
For grace is able to do what the law cannot:
Grace gives desire and will to obey…and power to the once powerless.
