Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 12/14/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 91

Description:

Fear presses in…
uncertainty surrounds…
and the world feels anything but safe.

Where do you turn when danger feels real and protection, fragile?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, in our Wisdom and Worship study,
Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 91 —
a psalm that does not deny suffering or threat,
but declares that God is greater.

“The one who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Here we meet the Lord as our refuge and fortress —
the One who covers, keeps, and delivers His people.

Ultimately, Psalm 91 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ —
the Son who entered a dangerous world at His first coming,
trusted the Father perfectly,
and faced suffering and death on our behalf.

In this season of Advent, we remember that the Child in the manger
is our true shelter —
and the King who will return to deliver His people completely and forever.

Because our hope is not the absence of danger…
but the presence of the Almighty.

Struck for the Sheep: The Shepherd, the Sword, and the Saving Fire [Zechariah 13:7–9]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/31/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 13:7-9

Description:

What kind of love leads a Shepherd to take the sword?
…even for sheep He knows will scatter?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah, where we see God summon the sword of judgment to strike His Shepherd — His own Son.

This is not divine abandonment… but divine design.
For at the cross, justice and mercy collide.
And the result? A people refined —
not spared from the fire, but shaped by it.

Because you see, the gospel does not merely save us from wrath.
It calls us into communion — into a life where we cry with one voice: “The LORD is my God.”
