We all know the commandment. But in Colossians 3, Paul throws us a curveball:
When it comes to your old self — YOU MUST KILL.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of Colossians, where we as believers are called to kill — “put to death” —the very parts of us that have already died with Christ.
It’s strong language — unsettling, even.
But it’s the language of transformation.
Because in order to walk in the new humanity Christ has given us,
the remnants of the old must not be… excused tolerated or ignored.
They must be killed — so our new life can flourish.

What do two olive trees in a vision 2,500 years ago have to do with your life today?
…More than you might think.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we see the prophet pressing for understanding about his vision of the two olive trees.
We’ll see that their meaning is rich in symbolism and spiritual truth.
But ultimately, what we’ll learn is that these two trees point us straight to Jesus Christ — our High Priest and King, and to the Spirit who empowers His people now.
For from Him, the oil of the Spirit flows into the lives of His people, giving power, perseverance, and light in a dark world.
…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.
It’s not that we have forgotten HOW to pray, it’s just that we have no words… We’re weak.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see that when we can’t pray… God helps us:
The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf when words cannot be found.
For God meets us in our weakness and upholds us in His grace.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans asking:
“Have you ever doubted God’s love for you?”
Many sincere Christians have… wondering if He has reached the end of His grace.
But our questioning doubts should be quenched and Gospel-filled answers, provided… when we consider the way in which God demonstrated his love in the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ.
WARNING: The only plan of salvation is hinged upon Jesus Christ.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and reminds us that it is Christ’s perfect righteousness — and only His righteousness — that makes us acceptable to God.
Christ offered the perfect sacrifice of His own blood and it was through His blood that the New Covenant was established. There is no salvation in any other covenant nor is there any other way to God.
Therefore, the one who repudiates the New Covenant has no sacrifice that can be offered to God to make himself acceptable. He has repudiated the only basis of receiving forgiveness, mercy, and grace and will only find wrath apart from Christ, and it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
SBC Host: Some say yes, and they use Hebrews 6 to prove their point.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and shows us how it’s not hard to take this position.
After all, when you read the passage, it seems to describe someone who was a true Christian.
Avg Guy:Exactly! It says that they were “once enlightened,” had “tasted of the heavenly gift,” “were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,” “had tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come.” So what gives?
Description: Now that Jude has commanded us to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, he now gives us the things to do in order to accomplish this task. The tasks he gives are both practical as well as profound. If churches were to follow Jude’s instruction many wouldn’t be in such dire need of reform.
Description: Sometimes familiar words lose their meaning. The word fellowship is like that. We use the word fellowship as an adjective to describe a church event. For instance, a potluck becomes a “fellowship meal” and just hanging out with other believers becomes “fellowshipping”. The term fellowship though is significant in meaning and must be understood within the context of Christ’s fellowship with His people. As Christ is in fellowship with His people, His people are in fellowship with each other. The teaching of and about Christ become the truth upon which our fellowship is based.
In our message today, we see that there are some who have broken fellowship, they have dis-fellowshipped themselves over the truth. John tells the church that those who have left — left because they never were truly in fellowship in the first place.
Description: In today’s sermon, we come to a controversial section of Scripture for two reasons. The first is that the mention of “alcohol” opens a can of worms for many Christians and the second is that there is disagreement on what it means to be filled by the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This sermon attempts to clear up any confusion and misconceptions regarding both of these areas and clearly outline what Paul means by this verse and why he makes such a comparison.
Description: The special emphasis of the Gospel of John is the Deity of Jesus. The reason why this Gospel was written is clearly given, “these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31
Description: Understanding the Old Testament books comes from understanding the cultural history, the metaphors and concepts the Old Testament writers were using.
Description: We come to the end of our study of 1 Peter. The Apostle leaves us with exhortations, greetings from fellow believers and a blessing of peace.
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: The problem of division and disunity in the body of Christ is nothing new. It is a problem which Paul addresses in his letter to the church in Ephesus and which we will examine this morning. Paul clearly lays out the theological basis for the unity of the church by describing the work of the triune God in the lives of His people. Our last message (Ep. 4:4) describes this unity relating to the Holy Spirit. Today we will focus on unity as it relates to the Lord Jesus and God the Father.
Description: Hard-working elders may not have a showcase full of trophies and awards to show for a lifetime of toil in the vineyard of God, but one day the Chief Shepherd will return and fully reward His faithful under-shepherds.
Description: The problem of division and disunity in the body of Christ is nothing new. It is a problem which Paul addresses in his letter to the church in Ephesus and which we will examine in this message. Paul clearly lays out the theological basis for the unity of the church by describing the work of the triune God in the lives of His people. Difficulty arises because those whom God has called to be His are made up of people from so many backgrounds that division seems likely. For this reason, Paul instructs his readers to better understand the unity they have in Christ and how that unity is to be lived out in our daily experience.
Description: We make the connection between the Old Testament prophecy of Micah with the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem as recorded in the gospel of Matthew.
