Sweet and Bitter [Revelation 10:1-11]

March 31, 2019

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2019

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Description: And then John looks up and sees an image that makes Colossus of Rhodes look small and the gods of the Roman pantheon look… well, weak.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Revelation in which witness right along with John… a mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, rainbow on his head, and face shining like the sun with feet like pillars of fire.

And yet, as breathtaking as this image is… this amazing being is just simply one of God’s servants do His bidding.

But through this vision, we capture a glimpse of God’s amazing sovereignty over a seemingly chaotic world which will one day come to an end — when the mysteries of the Lord Almighty will be revealed in the renewed world that awaits.

The Welcoming Words of Genesis 1:1 [Genesis 1:1]

March 26, 2017

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/26/2017

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Genesis 1:1

Description:

“In the beginning God….”

…The first four words of the Bible – four words whose depth and volume lay the very foundation for the truths that the rest of the Bible proclaim.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker takes us all the way to the beginning of the Bible – Genesis 1:1 – and explains that when an author pens a story his aim is to grab your attention to draw you into his book. God did this with the first four words of His book… four words that are so important that if the reader can’t digest them, the remainder of the Bible will likely remain a mystery.

A Sabbath Rest [Genesis 2:1-3]

April 10, 2016

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/10/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 2:1-3

Description: When you think of the word Sabbath, what comes to mind? For many of us the word sounds ominous and even burdensome. But if that’s the image that comes to our minds, we have missed the richness and wonder of this command. As we look at the opening verses of Genesis Chapter 2, we will see the beauty and understand more clearly what Jesus meant when He said that the Sabbath wasn’t made for man, but man for the Sabbath.

Let Us Make Man in Our Image… [Genesis 1:26-31]

April 3, 2016

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/03/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 1:26-31

Description: What does it mean that man is made in the image of God? How is man special amidst all the other things that God created? What does God expect of man? All of these questions, and more, are answered in the few, short verses at the end of Genesis Chapter 1. These verses preeminently come against the moral revolution that is happening in the culture around us. Much of the moral debate comes down to a confusion and rebellion over what it means to be made in the Image of God.

Six Days [Genesis 1:1-31]

March 20, 2016

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/20/2016, Palm Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 1

Description: The doctrine of creation is not only under attack outside the church but from within as well. Christians have attempted to fit “millions of years” into the Genesis account by doing hermeneutical gymnastics to Genesis Chapter 1. The end result of these theories has been the undermining of not only the faith of countless Christians but the undermining of the Gospel itself!

God the Creator [Genesis 1:1]

March 13, 2016

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/13/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 1:1

Description: The doctrine of creation is under attack. This is a battle of worldviews whereby the entire foundation of Christianity is being eroded and that erosion has drastic effect on our understanding of the fall, sin, death, and the truth of the Gospel. If we can’t trust Genesis 1:1, where exactly do we start believing the Bible?

In the Beginning God [Genesis 1:1]

March 6, 2016

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/06/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 1:1

Description: The first four words of the Bible, “In the beginning God…” declare what follows to be antithetical to all worldly philosophies and worldviews. God’s existence is assumed instead of argued for as the Creator of the universe demands all His creatures to take heed in a history that begins when there were no other witnesses than Himself.
