Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs
Key Text: Proverbs 28:13
Description:
When our sin feels too heavy to face,
we all have places we run.
We cover.
We excuse.
We delay.
We bury what we hope will simply disappear in the dark.
But concealed sin is not erased sin.
It doesn’t fade — it festers.
It hardens our hearts,
isolates our souls,
and sooner or later… it breaks us.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study by taking us to Proverbs 28:13 —
where Solomon tells us that God’s mercy is found not in hiding, but in honesty…
not in perfection, but in repentance.
This verse opens a doorway to gospel hope:
for the God who sees our sin is the same God who invites us into mercy
— because Christ has already borne the full weight of our transgression, and has opened wide the arms of forgiveness.
The way out of hiding is not through trying harder.
It’s through Him.
Because the real question is not whether you’ll try to cover your sin…
but whether you’ll come into the light where mercy lives.
