What if the final word in redemptive history isn’t destruction — but holiness?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao brings our study in the book of Zechariah to a close in which the prophet reveals graphic images of judgment and breathtaking glimpses of glory.
The enemies of God are defeated,
the nations are gathered to worship,
and — from the bells on the horses to the pots in the kitchens —
the Church is made holy.
This is not a return to Old Covenant shadows… it’s the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan:
To make for Himself a holy people in a holy city, where every square inch is marked “Holy to the Lord.”
…with the profound mysteries of God’s sovereignty and grace.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which begin a journey through Chapter 9.
For it is in this section of scripture that the Apostle Paul expresses his anguish and unyielding love for his Jewish brethren, set against the backdrop of the many spiritual advantages they have received as the descendants of those who received the great promises of God — culminating in Jesus, who is the Christ.
Sometimes we find ourselves at the intersection of Suffering and Hope.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we dig deeper into this profound intersection.
For in the midst of affliction and trials, we can find peace knowing we have an assured hope based on the finished work of Christ and the promises of God.
“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.
We have a great NEED — and, by His grace — a great SAVIOR.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and points to this sobering and magnificent reality that Paul has written about.
For we know that Christ saves us “by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,” but even so, we may not yet see some of the practical results of this justification by faith alone.
In our passage, the Apostle Paul masterfully connects our theology with practical living and shows us the path that God has laid out for Christian growth.
What we’ll find is that through correct doctrine, we have the proper lens in which to view the world, especially in the face of life’s difficulties.
Avg Guy:Well, so far in Romans we’re learning — whether Jew or Gentile — God is impartial and judges us on the law in light of the revelation we’ve received.
SBC Host: That’s right.
Avg Guy:So then, is there any advantage to being numbered among the Jewish nation? Is the Jew still honored in some way?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which he reveals Paul’s response to this question… a response which just might surprise you.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, David Teves fills in at the pulpit and finally puts a bow on the Five Sola Series he began preaching over 3 years ago.
You see “Scripture Alone,” “Faith Alone,” “Grace Alone,” and “Christ Alone” — the topics of his past sermons — all answer the singular question: “HOW?”
HOW can sinful man be made righteous?
This morning, we explore the follow-up, deeper, more profound question: “WHY?”
Description: Fire and brimstone preaching… a style that has certainly has fallen out of contemporary fashion. And yet, the Bible is chock-full of explicit and implicit warning against the coming wrath of God.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that whether the message is read from the Bible, or preached from the pulpit, countless people hear it and delay bowing the knee before God in repentance.
The day is coming, however, when it will be too late to repent… and both the believer and the non-believer will be harvested: one to eternal reward — the other, eternal damnation.
Description: The future of the non-believer unfolds in John’s vision.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which three angels reveal to John the fate of the non-believer:
The first angel presents the Gospel in a call to repent;
The second, shows the Gospel’s rejection;
And the third, the outcome of judgment that comes to all who renounce the Gospel by refusing to repent and turn to Christ.
Description: John, in chapter 2 tells us by the works of Christ Jesus, His deeds, that He indeed is God. To confirm this, John gives eight different sign miracles. All of these eight miracles are different, no two are alike. The first miracle that John presents is the miracle that takes place at a wedding in Cana.
Description: The climax of the prologue brings us the news of staggering truth. The “Word”, the agent of creation, has become a creature to dwell in this world as we do.
Description: Matthew 16:15 presents the most pivitol and important question in all of Christendom. Get this wrong and you will be in that group that say, “Lord, we did many things in your name.” Jesus will reply, “Depart from Me for I never knew you.” Get the question correct and you will hear, ‘Well done, enter into your reward.”
Description: Peter informs his Christian readers to be on the alert for the “adversary, the roaring lion.” The roaring of the lion’s jaws is the power of suffering to destroy our faith. Therefore Peter has to remind his Christian readers, “resist him, firm in your faith.”
Description: Peter gives to those who believe a command to entrust their souls to their faithful Creator as they continue in doing good works even in the face of persecution.
Description: Christians live to do the will of God and fulfill the obligation of holiness, love, and service in the power of the Holy Spirit — and thus bring glory to God.
Description: God has a plan that is as eternal and perfect as He is. Understanding that God is in control should provide us with a boldness and confidence in approaching God and dealing with the circumstances of life.
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.
