Description:

SBC Host: What do bullies, freedom, and worship have in common?

Avg Guy: I have no idea.

SBC Host: Well, the first is something that we hate, the second something we love, and the third…

Avg Guy: Oh I got it! …is something we NEED.

SBC Host: Exactly.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, as we continue to shelter in place, Pastor Monty Simao continues his series on The Church and asks what happens when all three (bullies, freedom, and worship) show up on Sunday morning?

And how should we think about the binding of conscience and the tyranny of pastors who do things their way instead of God’s?

Running Red Lights and Other Worship Infractions [selected texts]

April 26, 2020

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/26/2020

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: The Church, CoronaVirus

Key Text: Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11, 3:1-5; Matthew 18:15-20; Deuteronomy 19:14-17; Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 5:1-5

Description:

SBC Host: If Sunday worship were an intersection, would we be stopped at a red light waiting for a green?… Or would it be green lights all day long until we ran into a red?

Avg Guy: Hey, who’s driving this car anyway?

SBC Host: Exactly!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, as we continue to church “corona-style,” Pastor Monty Simao continues our series on The Church and points out the fact that most of us prefer green lights over red — and we despise traffic cams.

But we need to ask ourselves: Is Sunday worship about what we prefer?… Or is it what God commands?

What Do Jazz and the Church Have in Common? [selected texts]

April 19, 2020

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/19/2020

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: The Church, CoronaVirus

Key Text: Leviticus 9:22-24, 10:1-11; 1 Chronicles 13:1-13, 15:1-2, 11-15; Exodus 32:4, 39:1, 5, 7, 21, 26, 29, 39:31-32, 42-43, 40:23, 5; John 4:19-24; Deuteronomy 12:32

Description: Suppose you were planting a church:

√ How would the worship service be organized?

√ What would be the elements of worship?

√ What type of music would you have?

√ Would you have a choir?

√ Would you have a drama club?

There are a lot of things to think about, and there are a lot of churches that do things differently.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, as the coronavirus global lockdown continues, Pastor Monty Simao resumes our series on The Church and asks when it comes to how everyone does church:

• Does God care that there are different ways?

• How much freedom does He give us — the gathering of the church — in how we worship Him?
