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.

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?

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.

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??
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.

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.

Key Text: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Description:
He is risen! … and indeed, He is risen!
…But does it really even matter??
Happy Resurrection Sunday from Scandia Bible Church, 2023!
We want to welcome you to our Sunrise Service Sermon, as our church finds its way back, after a 4 year hiatus, to gather in its tradition for this special time at the lovely waterside home of Elder Keith Barker.
Music this morning being provided by our church family.
And our Sunrise Service message… being delivered by brother in Christ, David Teves, who will show that, indeed, the resurrection means EVERYTHING.

Notes:
Without the Resurrection…
-
- Preaching would be WORTHLESS.
- Faith would be USELESS.
- Christ would be a LIAR.
- the Cross would mean NOTHING.
- Those who have Died before us would be in RUIN.
- Following Him would be a WASTE of our time.

Series: Five Solas
Key Text: selected texts
Description:
How can you be made righteous?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and finally puts a bow on the Five Sola Series he began preaching over 3 years ago.
You see “Scripture Alone,” “Faith Alone,” “Grace Alone,” and “Christ Alone” — the topics of his past sermons — all answer the singular question: “HOW?”
HOW can sinful man be made righteous?
This morning, we explore the follow-up, deeper, more profound question: “WHY?”
WHY can sinful man be made righteous?
The answer: God’s Glory Alone.

Alone.
In Grace Alone. In Faith Alone. In Scripture Alone. In Glory to God Alone. And… In Christ Alone.
Today on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, David Teves returns to the pulpit to continue his Five Solas Series… Five Solas which provide the answer as to how and why a sinful man can be made righteous.
But of all the solas, it is the sola of “In Christ Alone” that ties all of the others together.
But just who is Christ? What work did He do? And how does this give us hope?

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher
Series: Five Solas
Key Text: Ephesians 2:1-10
Description:
Avg Guy: I’m a pretty good person. I go to church, read my Bible, say nice things to people. I’m certainly not like HER. She’s the epitome of sex, drugs, and rockin’ roll!!
SBC Host: Careful.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit to continue his 5 Solas Series, in which, this time, we look at Grace — the GIFT (not anything of YOUR doing), but the gift of God from which we have been saved through faith… so that NO ONE may boast.
Because you see when we start comparing ourselves to our neighbor to estimate our standing in the Heavenly Court — the devil only laughs.
When you understand that the comparison has never been with your neighbor — but with the Almighty, Infinite God of the Universe — you indeed realize, that right from the beginning, you were DEAD.

Key Text: Galatians 2:16
Description:
Avg Guy: I’m confused. To be saved, Paul says I need faith…James says works. Who’s right??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit to address this apparent contradiction surrounding the Biblical doctrine of justification as he continues his “5 Solas Series.”
And what we’ll find is that when it comes to reading scripture, “first glances,” as one blog author put it, “are not enough.”

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher
Series: Five Solas
Key Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-17
Description: The Protestant Reformation — an event in church history we tend to associate with Martin Luther and other 16th Century reformers. We tend to forget, however, that Jesus Christ was the Original Reformer.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and shares that Martin Luther and others were simply following Jesus’ example. For the Pharisees and scribes held that the traditions and laws of man were equal with Scripture — just as the Medieval Church and the Pope, 1500 years later in Luther’s day, said that Scripture AND tradition were the authority on truth.
…And, the argument continues to this day: To find truth, are other influences required to come alongside the Holy Scriptures of the Bible… or is the Bible enough?

Key Text: Ephesians 6:10-20
Description: Spiritual warfare. It’s a phrase we use. But what does it really mean? …And what do we do about it?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves, fills in at the pulpit and digs into these questions by looking at a familiar text, but does so in a way that many churches fail to address — by looking at the context of the letter in which it was written.

Key Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Description: After the Resurrection, the disciples had no idea what to do… so they went fishing.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and explains that even after 3 years of living with Him, eating with Him, and listening to Him, the disciples still did not understand what Jesus was talking about.
In fact, it wasn’t until after His ascension that they finally knew what to do: Proclaim the gospel to all nations.
But has modern day Christianity faithfully followed suit? …Or has it fallen into a trap of deception — making the gospel into something it is not.

Preacher: David Teves, guest preacher
Key Text: Ephesians 2:8-10
Description:
Average Guy: If you want to get to heaven, you’d better have a good looking résumé, because the things you do while your here matter.
Average Gal: Total nonsense! Everyone knows that once you get a “Grace Card” from Jesus, works are meaningless.
[argument between the two]
Scandia Host: There is much confusion in the church today as to what good works are and why we need (or need not) do them.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves, fills in at the pulpit to preach on a topic that greatly separates Christianity from other religions: GOOD WORKS.
Some say you need to do good works in order to get into heaven; others, we’re saved by grace and that good works don’t matter. …But what does the Bible say?
Download Sermon (right click)
Notes:
GOOD WORKS
- What are they?
- Are they the same for everyone?
- Who needs them?
- Why do them?
