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…

  1. through the “parable of tragedy.”
  2. in His concern for souls, chiefly, over carnal existence.
  3. in His warning for sinners.
  4. in His intercession on our behalf.
  5. in His judgement of wickedness.
  6. in His substitutionary death for our crimes.

Date: 04/07/2019

Preacher: Colton Bennett, guest preacher

Key Text: Galatians 3:10-14

Description: 

Average Guy: I’m a pretty good person. I’m not perfect, but I do my best. I’m sure once I die, God will see it that way and let me in. He’ll forgive me.

SBC Host: I hate to break it to you, but… God cannot “just” forgive you, because He is JUST. His bar is perfection, and He will not bend the rules or look the other way. There is a penalty. Your sinfulness is a curse, and it must fall upon somebody. It’s called penal substitutionary atonement. “Sorry,” alone, won’t cut it.

Average Guy: Oh.

SBC Host: Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back to our pulpit, guest preacher and Kentucky pastor-to-be, Colton Bennett, who not only wrestles with us through the weighty theological subject of penal substitutionary atonement, but points us to the beauty that arose out of it: Christus Victor… Christ is Victorious.SBC logo 204x204

And then we realize that the Gospel is not a message only for the lost, but also the found.

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/19/2018

Preacher: Colton Bennett, guest preacher

Key Text: Philippians 1:21-30

Description: 

“Now am I beginning to be a disciple. May it only be that I attain unto Jesus Christ, come fire and flood, grapplings with beasts, cuttings and manglings, wrenching of bones, hacking of limbs, crushing of my whole body…. The farthest bounds of the universe shall profit me nothing…. Him I seek, who died on our behalf; Him I desire, who rose again for our sake.”

— Ignatius of Antioch (35-107, earliest post-New Testament martyr)

There’s no doubt that Ignatius of Antioch was “all in” for Christ. How about you? Are you all in?SBC logo 204x204

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we’re pleased to welcome to our pulpit, guest preacher from Kentucky, and up-and-coming pastor-to-be, Colton Bennett… who describes himself as “a follower of Jesus, lover of Liberty, and passionate voice when the world is silent.” And though he’s only 19 years-old, he has the wisdom-filled insight that though we may all WANT to be “all in” for Christ, the truth is that none of us are… and that is PRECISELY why we need Jesus.
