Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/31/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 13:7-9

Description:

What kind of love leads a Shepherd to take the sword?
…even for sheep He knows will scatter?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah, where we see God summon the sword of judgment to strike His Shepherd — His own Son.

This is not divine abandonment… but divine design.
For at the cross, justice and mercy collide.
And the result? A people refined —
not spared from the fire, but shaped by it.

Because you see, the gospel does not merely save us from wrath.
It calls us into communion — into a life where we cry with one voice: “The LORD is my God.”

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/27/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 6:1-8

Description:

The headlines scream chaos.
Injustice seems to go unchecked.
And it’s easy to wonder if God sees… or is really in control.

That’s the world we live in.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah where we are reminded that even when the world looks quiet or the wrong side seems to be winning, the unseen armies of God are moving at His command. SBC logo 204x204

For behind every event, above every empire, and through every hardship, the sovereign King is at work—and His purposes never fail.
