Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 02/04/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 35

SBC logo 204x204Description: Have you ever been away a long time from home?  Perhaps a month, or even a year? Well, Jacob had been gone for 30 years, and his homecoming brought with it pleasure along with pain.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao returns to the pulpit – after having been away himself for a time to mourn the loss of his son, Isaiah.

He continues with our study in the book of Genesis and reminds us that when it comes to pleasure and pain, most things in life are a mixture of the two. But take note: God is not only with us in our pleasure, He too is with us in our pain… and He proves sufficient for all that He brings into our life.

I Will Establish the Throne of His Kingdom Forever!

March 24, 2013

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/24/2013, Palm Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Selected Texts: Genesis 17, 35, 46, 49 / Rev 19 / 2 Sam 5, 7 / Mark 11

Description:  Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, and there is perhaps no greater day to focus on Christ’s kingly office.  God gave Abraham a royal grant and prophecy that He would make a people for Himself and establish a Kingdom and righteous King for His people.  This covenantal promise was fulfilled in the life of David and found its ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Christ.

Blessed is the Man [Psalm 1]

December 30, 2012

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/30/2012

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Key Text: Psalm 1

Description: Psalm 1 is the “preface” psalm to the entire book of Psalms. We see here the blessings of God pronounced upon His people and the curses of God upon the wicked. It draws its theme from the blessings and curses of the covenant of Sinai outlined in Deuteronomy 28-31 and we see its echo in the New Testament in what is commonly called the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount.
