Beyond the List: Lessons From Paul’s Closing Words [Romans 16:1-16, 21-23]

November 10, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/10/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 16:1-16, 21-23

Description:

Every single person, every single act of service, matters deeply to God.

This includes you.

— That’s the heart of Paul’s message.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Romans where we find Paul seemingly rolling the credits of acknowledge for the conclusion of his letter.

But upon closer inspection, we discover he is not just listing names, but honoring individuals — teachers, hosts, friends, and those who have worked tirelessly in the background — because it all does matter to God.

God’s vision for the church values every member, every gift, and every quiet labor of love. This isn’t just Paul’s list; it’s a picture of what it means to belong to a family of faith.

No Condemnation [Romans 8:1-4]

September 24, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/24/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 8:1-4

Description:

Failures. Failures we all too easily relate to.

Today on Scanida Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and points out that with Paul describing his ongoing battle with sin in chapter 7 and the shortcomings he’s experienced because of it, we’d expect to see a judgement against it in chapter 8.

Instead, right at the beginning, what we see is one of the most triumphant announcements in all of Scripture:

“Therefore there is now no condemnation in Christ Jesus.”

In the Strength of His Might (part 1) [Ephesians 6:10-11]

August 12, 2012

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/12/2012

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 6:10-11

Description: There is so much confusion over the concept of Spiritual Warfare. Much of it stems from not understanding our position as believers in Christ and not understanding all that Christ has accomplished on our behalf. We need to remember that we fight from a position of victory and the battle has been won.

In Faith [1 Peter 3:15-17]

August 8, 2010

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/08/2010

Preacher: Frank Acevedo, elder

Series: 1 Peter

Key Text: 1 Peter 3:15-17

Description: No words of Scripture “… hold within themselves a deeper mystery than this simple formula of the Christian life, ‘in Christ‘” (J. Gordon). This message takes a quick look at the believers’ faith and walk in Christ. Our challenge remains to reproduce in our lives the righteousness which is already ours in Christ.
