The King Who Fulfills the Law [Matthew 5:17-20]

June 21, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 06/21/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 5:17-20

Description:

Avg Guy: Okay… so the scribes and Pharisees were the experts in the Law and the Prophets.

SBC Host: That’s right.

Avg Guy: And Jesus says our righteousness has to exceed theirs to enter the kingdom.

SBC Host: Yes.

Avg Guy: So I just need to try harder than a Pharisee… and I’m in!

SBC Host: Not exactly.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus corrects
that misunderstanding.

For Jesus did not come
to abolish the Law or the Prophets.

He came to fulfill them.

The kingdom
does not make righteousness smaller.

It exposes lawlessness
treating God’s commands lightly,

and outward religion
that cannot make sinners clean.

The righteousness that enters the kingdom
is found first
in the King who fulfilled the Law —

and by grace,
bears fruit
in His people.

Avg Guy: Oh.

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:15-23

Description:  

Whom do you serve?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and poses this question.

Because while it’s not uncommon for an unbeliever to see themselves as living in freedom while Christians submit themselves to bondage, the Bible paints a different picture.

For the one you serve is your master.

If you serve sin, you are enslaved to sin… and your path leads to death.

If you serve righteousness, you are freed from sin… and, instead, enslaved to God who gives eternal life.

Your choice.

Description: The Apostle John provides an argument for the pursuit of righteousness in the life of the Christian.  He provides essentially eight reasons for the Christian’s life to be marked by righteousness and not by sin.  This passage is commonly misquoted by those who teach Christian Perfectionism.  We will discuss why this is not what it is teaching.
