The Risen Christ Enthroned [Acts 2:22-36]

April 5, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/05/2026, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Key Text: Acts 2:22-36

Description:

What does Easter actually mean?

Is it simply that Jesus is alive…

…or is it something far greater?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Resurrection Sunday 2026, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to the book of Acts —

where the apostle Peter stands and declares with bold clarity:

The Jesus who was crucified
has been raised by God,
exalted to His right hand,
and made both Lord and Christ.

This is not merely the announcement of life after death.

This is the declaration of a King enthroned.

The cross was not the end.
The resurrection was not the finale.

It was the coronation.

Because the first sermon ever preached about Easter didn’t stop at the empty tomb—

…it pointed
to the throne.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/17/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 12:10-14

Description:

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son….”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah, where we contemplate what true repentance looks like —and where it comes from.

In this passage, God promises to pour out His Spirit and open our eyes to the One we pierced.

This is not vague emotion or general guilt. It is a personal, painful, Spirit-born mourning that comes from seeing the crucified Christ.

But here’s the grace: that very mourning is a gift —
because the One who was pierced is also the One who will save.

The question is — when will you mourn? … Now, in repentance — and be saved; or later, in judgment — and be lost.
