It’s a call to humility and warning against arrogance.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we encounter the olive tree — a vivid metaphor representing the integration of God’s people: both Jew and Gentile, united in Christ.
But it’s more than a word picture, it’s a profound discussion on the salvation of the Gentiles and their inclusion into this “tree.”
But we, the Gentile believers, are reminded not to boast against the branches (the Jewish people), but rather to consider our own place with sober judgment and gratitude.
For it is through this passage that we see a beautiful illustration of the continuity and unity in God’s covenantal plan — showing that the gospel is indeed “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
SBC Host: The lump of clay doesn’t talk back to its potter.
Lump: Hey what do you think you’re doing!?
SBC Host: …especially when its potter is God.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Romans in which we seek to understand more about this “potter” who calls us by name.
…And how He has the sovereign right to shape us how He wants.
…For it is in His hands, we find our purpose, our calling, and our only source of mercy.
Description: We’ve already been down the road of how the 144,000 Sealed Believers in chapter seven are a topic of controversy and confusion.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation (and chapter 7) to help us make sense of how this chapter fits in with everything else in the book we’ve learned so far. For we now know the numbered people are seen as an innumerable multitude, and the fullness of God’s promises are seen to His glory.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we come to the 144,00 sealed believers in chapter 7 — a topic of much confusion and much controversy.
Average Guy: Yah! Who are these people? And what is the seal on the forehead thing, anyway? And how does this fit with everything else we’re learning in the book???
Scandia Host: See what a mean? You better listen up.
Description: John recounts the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry when He attends the Passover at the Temple in Jerusalem. What He finds ignites His righteous anger and His zeal for the House of God is revealed in His actions.
