Sunrise Service 2024: I Am the Resurrection [John 11:25-27]

March 31, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 11:25-27

Description:

I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.

Do you believe this?

… the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Martha.

And welcome to our 2024 Easter Sunrise Service for Scandia Bible Church — held in its traditional location, at the lovely waterside home of Elder Keith Barker.

This morning Deacon David Teves shares a message regarding a different resurrection — the one in which Jesus raised His friend, Lazarus, from the dead.

But in doing so He explained to Martha that *He* was the resurrection… and Martha not only believed Him but said as much.

What about you?

Do YOU believe this?

That’s the real question to ponder this morning.

…For your answer means everything.

The Triumphal Entry [John 12:12-19]

March 24, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/23/2024, Palm Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 12:12-19

Description:

They hailed Him, King!

…the king who had come to save them —the Jewish people— from the oppression of the Romans.

But, instead (fulfilling Old Testament prophecy), Jesus —just five days before what would be Good Friday— humbly entered Jerusalem, not on a white steed, but a gray donkey… symbolizing peace, not war.

Today on this Palm Sunday, Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves examines a passage that most just see as a historical account of the path Jesus took to the cross. But is it more than that?

Does this passage have relevancy for US today?

…And if so, how can we apply it to our lives?

Love in Action [1 John 3:16-18]

November 26, 2023

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/26/2023

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: 1 John 3:16-18

Description:

Love.

It’s one of the marks of the Christian.

…Or at least it’s supposed to be.

For it’s one thing — and easy — to say we *love* one another with our words. But it’s quite another — and hard — to show it with our actions.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves shows us what true love looks like by directing us to the perfect example…. And we find it in the book of 1 John.

For it is in this example, that Jesus clearly displays how love is put into action when He willingly, and lovingly, went to the cross and sacrificed Himself for us.

October 22, 2023

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/22/2023

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: Psalm 43

Description:

Let’s face it. Life can be tough.

Everyone has trials and difficulties… but how should we deal with them? When our situation feels hopeless, is it simply a matter of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps? Or is there something else??

SBC logo 204x204

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves joins us once again and points us to the book of Psalms… which demonstrates that if we truly want to go from hopeLESS to hopeFUL, we must shift our focus off ourselves and onto Christ.

For Christ alone is our salvation and our cause for joy.

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/03/2023

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: Hebrews 10:19-25

Description:

Isolation.

More than ever, today’s world makes it easy for us to be isolated from others.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves fills in at the pulpit and shares that with the current advancements in technology you could literally NEVER have to leave your home for any of your needs.

But we NEED others.

And God did not create us to be alone.

This is especially true amongst believers. We were created for love and good works, and that is demonstrated by be being together… through discipleship.

Notes:

Without the Resurrection…

    1. Preaching would be WORTHLESS.
    2. Faith would be USELESS.
    3. Christ would be a LIAR.
    4. the Cross would mean NOTHING.
    5. Those who have Died before us would be in RUIN.
    6. Following Him would be a WASTE of our time.
