Date: 06/23/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 4:5-11
Description: Our passage this morning shows us two things about God. The first is that God never gives up on His people, He has a tenacious grip on us… and the second is that God’s amazing plan of redemption is larger than most of us think. God will redeem all of His creation and reverse the curse of sin.

Ungodly Anger [Jonah 4:1-4]
June 16, 2013Sermon Notes
Date: 06/16/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 4:1-4
Description: The book of Jonah is a highly unusual book. There is no other book like it within both the minor and major prophets. It’s unusual in that the prophetic message is not what’s important but rather the narrative that surrounds it.

I may be sitting down on the inside but I’m standing up on the outside. [Jonah 3:4-10]
June 9, 2013Sermon Notes
Date: 06/09/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 3:4-10
Description: Theologians talk about two types of repentance: attrition and contrition. Attrition is false repentance and usually is only a change in outward actions with no change in heart. While contrition is a change in outward actions driven from a change in the heart. Contrition is heart-felt sorrow over sin. In this sermon we will look at examples of both attrition and contrition from the way that Jonah reacted to God’s word compared to the reaction of the Ninevites.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 3:1-10

God is the God of the Crushed. God uses the Crushed to Accomplish Great Things

The Priest and the Filthy Robe [Luke 24 and Zechariah 3:1-10]
March 31, 2013Sermon Notes
Date: 03/31/2013, Easter Sunday
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Key Text: Luke 24 and Zechariah 3:1-10
Description: Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Christ, solves the problem of tension that existed among the Old Testaments prophets concerning the coming of the Messiah. The prophets prophesied that the coming Messiah would be a suffering servant who would be scourged, smitten, beaten, and pierced and yet he would also be a conquering king. How could these two apparent contradictions in description possibly be? The answer is found in Easter.

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

God Hears and Rescues [Jonah 1:11-16]
February 17, 2013Sermon Notes
Date: 02/17/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:11-16
Description: Jonah gives the pagan sailors a false impression of God and continues in his flight from God — even seeking his own death before repenting and obeying God’s command to go to his enemies. But God pursues Jonah with a storm. We find out in this passage that God is also pursuing the pagan sailors, and Jonah’s rebellion is what God uses to display His grace and mercy to them.

God the Storm Chaser [Jonah 1:4-10]
February 10, 2013Sermon Notes
Date: 02/10/2013
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:4-10
Description: Jonah is on the run and running hard away from God. God calls him to Nineveh, and he heads in the opposite direction towards Tarshish. God pursues Jonah with a violent storm to wake Jonah from His sinful slumber. The storm shows us two things about God’s pursuit of man. The first is that it is great and the second is that it is gracious.
Jonah is on a ship with pagans representing many nations all serving the idols of their land. Jonah represents one type of person who flees in the path of the Pharisee while the pagan sailors represent another type of person who flees in the path of the Prodigal. In this story we see God pursuing both Pharisees and Prodigals, which is good news for us.

Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:1-3

Blessed is the Man [Psalm 1]
December 30, 2012Sermon 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.

The First Gospel Proclamation [Genesis 3:1-21]
December 9, 2012Sermon Notes
Date: 12/09/2012
Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21
Description: Christmas is preeminently about God’s promise of a coming Savior who would rescue man from the curse of the fall. God’s mercy and grace is always seen in His works and in His interactions with man. In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve shook their fists to Heaven as they rebelled against God and God cursed them according to the covenant agreement. No sooner had the curse been said God also proclaimed the Gospel of a coming Savior.
