Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 13:1-6

Description:

Grace.

What if this very thing the Lord uses to forgive…
is the same thing He uses to transform?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in our study of the book of Zechariah — where we see a fountain… a fountain opened.

Not a mere trickle, but an abounding and unending flow.

This is the power of Christ’s blood:
an endless supply of cleansing from sin and impurity.

For this fountain not only removes guilt,
but it also breaks the grip of sin.

And when it flows, the effects ripple outward:
idolatry is overthrown;
false teaching is silenced;
households are transformed;
and hearts are made new.

Mourning Over the Pierced One [Zechariah 12:10–14]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/17/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 12:10-14

Description:

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son….”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah, where we contemplate what true repentance looks like —and where it comes from.

In this passage, God promises to pour out His Spirit and open our eyes to the One we pierced.

This is not vague emotion or general guilt. It is a personal, painful, Spirit-born mourning that comes from seeing the crucified Christ.

But here’s the grace: that very mourning is a gift —
because the One who was pierced is also the One who will save.

The question is — when will you mourn? … Now, in repentance — and be saved; or later, in judgment — and be lost.
