Generational Unfaithfulness [Judges 2:6-11]

April 12, 2015

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/12/2015

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Judges

Key Text: Judges 2:6-11

Description:  Israel was given two battles:  the first – a battle within the home for the hearts of the next generation; the second – a battle outside the home to possess the land.  Failure in either would ultimately lead to failure in both.  The book of Judges begins with generational unfaithfulness and leads to covenantal unfaithfulness.

Failure to Keep the Covenant [Judges 1:1-2:5]

March 29, 2015

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/29/2015, Palm Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Judges

Key Text: Judges 1:1-2:5

Description:  Israel fails to take the land and this sets off 350 years of rapid decline.  It’s a downward spiral of depravity as things go from bad to worse.  God hears the cries of His people and over and over He sends a judge to rescue them. But when the judge dies, the people fall back into idolatry and rebellion…and so the cycle continues.

The anticipation is for a judge that will rule righteously and not die. And whose righteous rule will bring a time of peace and the possession of the land.  That anticipation has been met in Christ who is the only righteous king and who alone obeyed the covenant for the prospering of His people.

I Will Establish the Throne of His Kingdom Forever!

March 24, 2013

Sermon Notes

Date: 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.

Blessed is the Man [Psalm 1]

December 30, 2012

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/30/2012

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.
