Description:

GOOD FRIDAY — a mark in history that would forever affect eternity.

And welcome to our Scandia Bible Church Good Friday Service for the year of our Lord, 2024.

We invite you to pull of a virtual pew and join us as we reflect on the selfless words of our Lord and Savior… words meant for us — to teach, to comfort, to give us hope — even as he was undergoing the horrific death of crucifixion.

For it was a *GOOD* Friday…

…but only because Sunday would be the GREATEST day of all!

Good Friday Service 2023

April 7, 2023

Service Notes

Date: 04/07/2023, Good Friday

Description:

Avg Guy: I’ve never understood why they call it GOOD Friday?!

I mean, Jesus died on this day! It should be “BAD Friday,” right??

SBC Host: It was indeed a *bad* Friday. For Jesus — though He was innocent — was unfairly beaten, tortured, and killed. He was a beloved Teacher, Leader, Mentor, and Friend to many. So, yes, if you were there, it was a “bad” Friday.

…But three days later, that all would change.

Because it would become UNDENIABLY clear, that this Man who was unfairly beaten, tortured, and killed… did so on OUR behalf. He stood in our place, so we wouldn’t have to.

This “Bad Friday,” became GOOD… when those who realized that this beloved Teacher, Leader, Mentor, and Friend… was also the Lord God Almighty — the Creator of the Universe.

Service Notes

Date: 04/15/2022, Good Friday

Description:

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,

see Him dying on the tree!

‘Tis the Christ, by man rejected;

yes, my soul, ’tis He….

Good Friday… a day that would only be considered “good” 3 days later. But until then, it was the darkest day in all of Christendom.

Welcome to the Scandia Bible Church Podcast for Good Friday, 2022.

Join us for this special service as we consider Christ’s last words from the cross — with scripture reading and hymn singing.

…Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,

sacrifice to cancel guilt!

None shall ever be confounded

who on Him their hope have built.

Good Friday Service 2018

March 30, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/30/2018, Good Friday

Description: Good Friday… arguably the most solemn day on the Christian calendar – a day that could hardly be classified as “good” just over 2000 years ago. …But from our vantage point – as we sit on this side of the Resurrection – there is no better way to describe it. 

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we invite you to pull up a virtual pew, and join our little country church for our 2018 Good Friday worship service. May the mixture of scripture reading, congregational hymn singing, and church family instrumentals allow you to remember and rejoice in all that Christ has done on our behalf… and that it is indeed good.

Have You Considered My Servant Job? [Job 1:6-12]

April 13, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/13/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:6-12

Description:  In our passage today, we see a glimpse into the heavenly throne room.  Satan obeys the summons to appear, and he comes as the accuser of God’s people.  God tells Satan to state for the record where he has been and Satan states that he has been going “to and fro on the earth.”  And then God asks Satan a question that challenges Satan: “Have you considered my servant Job?”

Satan accepts this challenge from God by saying that if God allows him to take away Job’s blessings that Job would curse God to His face.  Job would then be proved a fake and God would be guilty of nothing more than cosmic bribery.

The gauntlet has been thrown down…and it is God’s idea.
