Sermon Notes

Date: 06/15/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 9:1-8

Description:

—The HEADLINES of Today —

What if they didn’t drive your fears?
… because you already knew the end of the story.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we climb into the “crow’s nest of prophecy” — not to escape the chaos of history, but to see that God is writing it.

For the Lord rules empires, brings down pride, and guards His people.

The question is: When trouble marches toward your life, do you believe that God has already encamped around you?

Love Your Enemies: A Radical Approach to Adversity [Romans 12:17-21]

June 16, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 06/16/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 12:17-21

Description:

Repay no one evil for evil; and as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Leave vengeance in God’s hands.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we confront a passage that challenges us to rise above our natural instincts and embrace a radically different way of dealing with conflict and injustice.

We’re reminded of the transformative power of responding to evil with good and showing kindness, even to our enemies.

It’s a power that in the face of wrongdoing, cultivates our hearts to seek peace and trust His justice.

The Sovereignty of God in Mercy and Judgment [Romans 9:14-18]

February 4, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/04/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 9:14-18

Description:

SBC Host: God extends mercy to some but hardens the hearts of others.

Avg Guy: That doesn’t seem fair!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which the Apostle Paul confronts us with a question of God’s justice… His righteousness.

It’s a passage of mystery, of divine choice and the human heart, that has puzzled and inspired believers for centuries… for it pushes us to the edge of where our understanding meets God’s unsearchable judgements and unfathomable ways.

And though we may not completely understand, there’s no denying the magnitude of His sovereignty and the depth of His mercy.

For when we acknowledge God’s absolute freedom — though it may challenge — we begin to find comfort as we see our place in His redemptive plan.
