Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/01/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 2:1-12

Description:

Have you ever noticed how pressure reveals what’s really inside a person?

Put someone in a crisis…
Put someone in a moment of decision…
Put someone face-to-face with authority…

And the heart is exposed.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew in which we enter a courtroom.

Not a courtroom of marble columns and wooden benches —
but a courtroom in Bethlehem.

The King has been born.

And now the witnesses step forward:

The Magi travel from the nations to worship.
Herod plots to destroy.
Jerusalem trembles.
And the religious leaders quote Scripture —
yet never move an inch toward Christ.

We’ve all heard it before…
It’s the Christmas story.

But this passage goes far beyond
a familiar wintertime scene.

It’s a revelation.

A revelation in which the King of Kings is revealed…
and the human heart is exposed.

Exposing Hypocrisy [Romans 2:17-29]

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/26/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 2:17-29

Description:  

Be honest.

Have you ever felt ELITE because you were affiliated or associated with a certain group? 

Perhaps it was a fraternity or sorority in college, an all-star sports team, or a select choir or drama club.

Sometimes even involvement in good things can become a foothold for pride.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and reminds us that the Jews felt a national pride that instead of fostering gratitude toward God often resulted in self-importance and sadly blinded them from seeing things in true Spirit-given light.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/05/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 2:1-11

Description:  

The false gospel of moralism. It’s a perennial problem within the church.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us this problem has less to do with the changing generations and more to do with the sin that plagues the human heart.

In our passage Paul cuts through the weeds of moralism to expose the coming judgment of God.

For God’s judgment brings reward to the believer… but ought to strike terror in those who are trusting in their own goodness.
