Sermon Notes
Date: 02/15/2026
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Study: Matthew
Key Text: Matthew 1:1-17
Description:
What if the most “boring” part of your Bible
is actually a blazing announcement
that the King has come
for people just like you?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao begins a new study
through the Gospel of Matthew —
a disciple’s journey through
the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Matthew doesn’t open with angels.
Shepherds.
Or a manger.
He opens with a list of names.
A genealogy.
A family tree filled with kings and cowards,
outsiders and adulterers,
faith-keepers and failures.
This is the line of Abraham.
The throne of David.
The road through exile.
And this — Matthew tells us —
is the family the Son of God chose to enter.
In the first seventeen verses,
Jesus is revealed as the Christ,
the Son of David,
the Son of Abraham —
the promised King
who fulfills every covenant,
steps into our crooked history,
and brings a kingdom
big enough for sinners
and bold enough for the nations.
As this Gospel begins,
we are invited to bow before the King,
to trust His sovereign grace,
and to follow Him into the story He is writing.
