God or Mammon [Matthew 6:19-24]

October 18, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/18/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 6:19-24

Description:

Your possessions.
Your security.
Everything you thought would make you happy.
Everything you worked so hard for.

— What if it was all taken away tomorrow?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus confronts the dangerous hold
that earthly treasure can have upon the human heart.

For what if, in gaining everything
this world has to offer,
you lose sight of what matters most?

Jesus teaches us that no one can serve two masters.

And He warns that where our treasure is,
our hearts will follow.

Yet Christ offers riches
that wealth can never purchase —

the enduring riches of God’s grace.

The question, then, is not simply
what you possess…

but what possesses you?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/07/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Description:  

What if you could make your most outlandish dreams come true?  …a waterfront mansion, a garage full of exotic cars, unlimited travel to any destination where you could stay at the finest hotels.

What if your life could be another episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and shows that Solomon examined all that money could buy. He pursued everything from the grandiose to the gutter, and he found it all lacking. He found it all vanity.

Perhaps you think you could have done better and avoided the pitfalls of Solomon’s failed experiment, but Solomon is not the only man to try this pursuit — and it wasn’t lack of smarts or lack of effort that left him empty.

… But rather —[Robin Leach: “Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams!”]— it was seeking satisfaction from things that cannot satisfy.
