Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 02/16/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 2:6-13

Description:

Where is your true home? Have you settled too comfortably in a world that is passing away? Or are you living as a citizen of Zion, rejoicing in the presence of your King?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah where we see God call His people to flee Babylon—the symbol of the world’s fleeting security and rebellion against Him. Instead, He invites them to Zion, the city of His presence, where He promises protection, joy, and eternal belonging.

Because you see, in a world that lures us with comfort, distraction, and false hope, God calls us to something greater: to build our lives on His unshakable kingdom.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 02/02/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 2:1-5

Description:

Have you ever felt like you were in ruins?

— needing to rebuild… but not even knowing how to piece life back together?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we learn that that was the reality of his day. For the nation of Judah — the remnant of Israel — had returned from exile to Jerusalem, only to find their once-great city in ruins.

How could it be restored??

They were discourage, vulnerable, and uncertain about the future.

But in Zechariah 2, God gives them —God gives us— a vision that defies human expectation:

A CITY WITHOUT WALLS.

…a place of expansion, security, and glory — secured not by walls, BUT BY GOD HIMSELF, who is both its protector and dwelling place.
