Hope for the Homeward [1 Peter 1:1-2]

December 25, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/25/2022

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Key Text: 1 Peter 1:1-2

Description:

His greeting went way beyond “Hello.”

Today, Christmas Morning, on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow presents us the gift of new a study in the book of 1 Peter — a book that encourages and equips the suffering, exiled Christian.

For in just the first two verses, not only does Peter’s salutation greet — but remind.

It reminds us of just who we are — through a complex set of mighty designations involving God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son, Jesus Christ… Who’d make His entry into this world — helpless, naked, and lying in a manger.

Obedience and Sacrifice [Hebrews 10:1-10]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/05/2021

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Key Text: Hebrews 10:1-10

Description:

SBC Host: Pretend you’re an Israelite, and I ask you to make a drawing of “the law,” what would you draw? …What image would best represent it?

Avg Guy: I have no idea.

SBC Host: Exactly.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and explains that while we — being in possession of the New Testament — certainly have a richer, more complete idea of what the shadows of the law of the Old Testament pointed toward… we would struggle knowing what to draw too!

SBC logo 204x204

For even with this additional knowledge, we can’t fully grasp the expanse of the multiple facets of what the law actually entails — until we begin to see the lines of the sketch take shape: revealing an image of obedience and sacrifice that foreshadows the fullness of the reality of the law which we will one day completely see and experience in all of its glory.

For the sketch is Christ.

Key Text: Job 9:32-35;Heb 4:14-16; Matt 26:36-40

Average Guy:

If God can prevent our suffering then why doesn’t He?

Scandia Host: That’s a good question.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao steps to the pulpit once again following his son, Isaiah’s, tragic death… to wrestle with this. “How can we go to God for comfort when ultimately, God is the one who could have prevented it and has therefore ordained our pain?”

Average Guy: Exactly! That’s what I want to know.

Scandia Host: Well, you better pull up a pew and take a listen.

The Secret of Obedience [John 14:15-21]

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 06/05/2016

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: John 14:15-21

SBC logo 204x204Description: How does one live a victorious Christian life?  It’s a mystery to many Christians. For many think that it can only come through years of service on the mission field or perhaps 20 years in the pastorate. Yet Jesus spelled it out simply in His everyday teaching as He walked the earth. Today’s message is an effort to clearly and simply offer precious insights to believers, young and old, on the path to a deeper walk with the Lord.

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/19/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: 1 John

Key Text: 1 John 5:1-3

Description: John’s epistle is like looking through a kaleidoscope.  He repeats the same truths, but from different perspectives. In this final chapter, John turns the kaleidoscope yet again to present a new view of the themes of loving God, loving the brethren, and obedience to God’s law.  But this time we see it from the perspective of faith.

Key Text: 1 John 2:15-17

Description: The term “worldliness” has taken on so many meanings in Christianity that much of what we hear as things we should avoid have nothing to do with the Bible’s definition it.

Assurance and Obedience [1 John 2:3-6]

September 1, 2013

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/01/2013

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: 1 John

Key Text: 1 John 2:3-6

Description: The seventeenth century puritan, Thomas Brooks, wrote that “assurance is a pearl that most want but a crown that few wear.” A Christian with assurance of faith knows that he belongs to Christ, that his sins are forgiven, that God loves him, and that he will enjoy everlasting life. While many assume that it is presumptuous to desire assurance of salvation, Scripture teaches otherwise. In our text this morning the Apostle John provides us the first of three tests so that the Christian may examine himself and rest, assured!

They would be transformed by grace and be the bearers of grace and the prime instruments by whom others would be transformed too.

Why? To inherit a blessing.
