Date: 08/31/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 13:7-9

Description:

What kind of love leads a Shepherd to take the sword?
…even for sheep He knows will scatter?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah, where we see God summon the sword of judgment to strike His Shepherd — His own Son.

This is not divine abandonment… but divine design.
For at the cross, justice and mercy collide.
And the result? A people refined —
not spared from the fire, but shaped by it.

Because you see, the gospel does not merely save us from wrath.
It calls us into communion — into a life where we cry with one voice: “The LORD is my God.”

Hero or Villain? [Galatians 3:10-14]

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/07/2019

Preacher: Colton Bennett, guest preacher

Key Text: Galatians 3:10-14

Description: 

Average Guy: I’m a pretty good person. I’m not perfect, but I do my best. I’m sure once I die, God will see it that way and let me in. He’ll forgive me.

SBC Host: I hate to break it to you, but… God cannot “just” forgive you, because He is JUST. His bar is perfection, and He will not bend the rules or look the other way. There is a penalty. Your sinfulness is a curse, and it must fall upon somebody. It’s called penal substitutionary atonement. “Sorry,” alone, won’t cut it.

Average Guy: Oh.

SBC Host: Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back to our pulpit, guest preacher and Kentucky pastor-to-be, Colton Bennett, who not only wrestles with us through the weighty theological subject of penal substitutionary atonement, but points us to the beauty that arose out of it: Christus Victor… Christ is Victorious.SBC logo 204x204

And then we realize that the Gospel is not a message only for the lost, but also the found.
