Fear presses in… uncertainty surrounds… and the world feels anything but safe.
Where do you turn when danger feels real and protection, fragile?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, in our Wisdom and Worship study,
Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 91 —
a psalm that does not deny suffering or threat,
but declares that God is greater.
“The one who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Here we meet the Lord as our refuge and fortress —
the One who covers, keeps, and delivers His people.
Ultimately, Psalm 91 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ —
the Son who entered a dangerous world at His first coming,
trusted the Father perfectly,
and faced suffering and death on our behalf.
In this season of Advent, we remember that the Child in the manger
is our true shelter —
and the King who will return to deliver His people completely and forever.
Because our hope is not the absence of danger… but the presence of the Almighty.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves takes us to 2 Corinthians where we see Paul reminding believers of the coming judgement of Christ — and is therefore motivated to persuade others to Christ.
Paul encourages the Corinthians not to be like those infiltrating the church, who are focused on outward appearances and not on the heart.
Rather, the Love of Christ should be the controlling influence of our of lives in everything we do… because Christ gave His life for us, and we should live for Him.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which he begins a wide-angle exploration on the principles of authority and human responsibility — and he does this by not only looking to our current text in Romans, but also by turning back to foundational text in Genesis.
For what we’ll find is that these two passages intersect to not only inform our understanding of authority, the establishment of government, and our role in society… but how we are to govern and steward His creation.
“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, ‘Abba! Father!’”
Romans 8:14-15
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we uncover the incredible truth that we are not just servants, but adopted children of God… destined for an inheritance beyond imagination.
Movie Trailer Voice-Over Guy:In a world brimming with obligations and expectations, what if our truest debt wasn’t to society or self… but to Spirit?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which as contemplate this debt, we discover the profound transition from obligation to liberation… and from fear to sonship.
Description: What can bring joy from the seeds of pain and sorrow?
The immediate answer is The Resurrection, which means that the ultimate answer is Jesus Christ.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao explains that just as that first Easter morning brought joy to those who were crushed and dismayed in their spirit, so too does the Resurrection bring a guaranteed hope to all who trust in Christ today.
*Please note that we lost Pastor Simao’s lavaliere microphone at the head of the sermon. As such, the audio quality during the sermon (both video and podcast) is not up to our typical standard.
Description: The holiness of God has been described as the sun.
Like the sun, God gives beauty, life, and light… but venture too close and you will be consumed.
Today on this Palm Sunday Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to two separate passages: one from the Old Testament and one from the New — both demonstrating God’s holiness, seen as He enters the royal city of Jerusalem.
Description: Sometimes there are places in the Bible that a pastor doesn’t want to preach on – or for that matter, touch with a 10-foot pole! Our passage this morning is just such a passage. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis verse by verse, to show us that even in the midst of heinous sin, we see the amazing abundance of God’s grace towards the sinner…God’s grace, towards us.
Description: As church-attending-Christians we hear the same scriptures repeated over the years. They tend to become so familiar that we no longer listen to the little details. The passage in this message has some wonderful insights that are too often overlooked. May the Lord slow each of us down to the place where we can fully grasp what the Bible is telling us in this amazing section from Luke 23.
Description: To our amazement the year 2015 suddenly ended, and we are now knee deep into 2016. Perhaps this is a good time to plan a strategy for the coming months. God’s word has given us many examples of how to successfully transit into a new year. The story of the 12 spies exploring the Promised Land gives us some insights into how God would have us move into the coming year.
Description: The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 3:13-17, tells his readers that they should not fear men and any suffering they might encounter. Quoting Isaiah 8:11-13, Peter writes that they should have a reverence for Jesus and be always ready to tell others why they have hope.
