God is Faithful [1 Kings 19:1-21]

June 14, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 06/14/2026

Preacher: Derek Orn, chapalin

Key Text: 1 Kings 19

Description:

What are you doing here?

That was the question God posed to Elijah
as he stood at the mouth of the cave.

But it was not a question for Elijah alone.
It is was also a question for us.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Derek Orn brings us to the life of Elijah —

a prophet who had seen the power of God,
and yet found himself weary,
afraid,
and ready to be done.

In that place, God did not meet him
according to what Elijah deserved,
but according to who God is.

Faithful in mercy.
Faithful in His Word.
Faithful to call His servant forward.

But the question
does not stay with Elijah:

What are we doing here?
What are you doing here?

Are you coming before the Lord
to manage a transaction?

…Or to hear from the God
whose faithfulness
is our only hope?

The Door to Mercy [Proverbs 28:13]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 11/16/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Proverbs 28:13

Description:

When our sin feels too heavy to face,
we all have places we run.

We cover.
We excuse.
We delay.
We bury what we hope will simply disappear in the dark.

But concealed sin is not erased sin.
It doesn’t fade — it festers.
It hardens our hearts,
isolates our souls,
and sooner or later… it breaks us.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study by taking us to Proverbs 28:13 —
where Solomon tells us that God’s mercy is found not in hiding, but in honesty…
not in perfection, but in repentance.

This verse opens a doorway to gospel hope:
for the God who sees our sin is the same God who invites us into mercy
— because Christ has already borne the full weight of our transgression, and has opened wide the arms of forgiveness.

The way out of hiding is not through trying harder.
It’s through Him.

Because the real question is not whether you’ll try to cover your sin…
but whether you’ll come into the light where mercy lives.
