Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 11/09/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 62

Description:

When life feels like it’s slipping out from under us…
we all run somewhere.

To people.
To accomplishments.
To distraction.
To whatever promises to hold us up when we feel like we’re falling.

But what happens when those refuges give way?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study with Psalm 62 — where David declares that every refuge in this world is fragile and false… but God alone is strong, faithful, and near.

This psalm doesn’t simply call us to believe about God —
but to rest in Him.
To entrust our weary souls to the One who never shifts, never fades, and never fails.

Because the question is not whether you will seek refuge.

The question is whether the refuge you will seek… will save.

Remember the Former Days [Hebrews 10:32-35]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 10/17/2021

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Key Text: Hebrews 10:32-35

Description:

Remember the “Good Ol’ Days”?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and explains that when we encounter difficult times, it’s natural for us to remind ourselves of former days that were better — probably because we feel that doing so will give us the needed courage to face our current challenge.

The writer of Hebrews takes the opposite approach, though.  Instead of recalling former times of ease, he tells his readers to recall former times of hardship! … times of affliction and persecution.

Why?

Because when we remember God’s past faithfulness during trying times, we are encouraged to persevere…in the hope of our eternal reward.
