Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 73

Description:

The wicked prosper…
The righteous suffer…
And God seems silent.

What do you do??

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao embarks upon a new study of Wisdom and Worship as we walk through selected Psalms and Proverbs.

In Psalm 73, Asaph walks us through a crisis of faith.
Tempted by envy and disillusioned by the ease of the ungodly,
he nearly loses his footing — until he enters the sanctuary.

There, his vision clears.
He sees not only the end of the wicked…
but the sufficiency of God.

In a world where circumstances often lie,
this psalm lifts our eyes higher —
to Christ, our true sanctuary and eternal portion.

Oppression, Envy, and Peace [Ecclesiastes 4:1-6]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/11/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 4:1-6

Description:  

Last time on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast…

Pastor Simao: “Solomon is giving us six things that he sees in life that are not beautiful… Six things that everyone agrees are not beautiful… Six things that ought to challenge everyone ‘living under the sun,’ as well as cast the eye of the believer upward towards God.”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes in which we continue to address these six “non-beautiful things” — six objections Solomon raises to the sovereignty of God.

In our last sermon we looked at WICKEDNESS, found in places we ought not expect: places of justice, and even places of worship.

This time, Solomon objects to the OPPRESSION he sees all around… as well as the ENVY that shamefully and covertly drives our motivation behind our work — robbing us of the enjoyment it is intended to supply.

And it’s no wonder, with all of this… that life “under the sun” continues to look more bleak.
