The Triumphal Entry [John 12:12-19]

March 24, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/23/2024, Palm Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 12:12-19

Description:

They hailed Him, King!

…the king who had come to save them —the Jewish people— from the oppression of the Romans.

But, instead (fulfilling Old Testament prophecy), Jesus —just five days before what would be Good Friday— humbly entered Jerusalem, not on a white steed, but a gray donkey… symbolizing peace, not war.

Today on this Palm Sunday, Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves examines a passage that most just see as a historical account of the path Jesus took to the cross. But is it more than that?

Does this passage have relevancy for US today?

…And if so, how can we apply it to our lives?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 03/20/2016, Palm Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 1

SBC logo 204x204Description: The doctrine of creation is not only under attack outside the church but from within as well.  Christians have attempted to fit “millions of years” into the Genesis account by doing hermeneutical gymnastics to Genesis Chapter 1.  The end result of these theories has been the undermining of not only the faith of countless Christians but the undermining of the Gospel itself!

Have You Considered My Servant Job? [Job 1:6-12]

April 13, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/13/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:6-12

Description:  In our passage today, we see a glimpse into the heavenly throne room.  Satan obeys the summons to appear, and he comes as the accuser of God’s people.  God tells Satan to state for the record where he has been and Satan states that he has been going “to and fro on the earth.”  And then God asks Satan a question that challenges Satan: “Have you considered my servant Job?”

Satan accepts this challenge from God by saying that if God allows him to take away Job’s blessings that Job would curse God to His face.  Job would then be proved a fake and God would be guilty of nothing more than cosmic bribery.

The gauntlet has been thrown down…and it is God’s idea.
