The Sovereignty of God in Mercy and Judgment [Romans 9:14-18]

February 4, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/04/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 9:14-18

Description:

SBC Host: God extends mercy to some but hardens the hearts of others.

Avg Guy: That doesn’t seem fair!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which the Apostle Paul confronts us with a question of God’s justice… His righteousness.

It’s a passage of mystery, of divine choice and the human heart, that has puzzled and inspired believers for centuries… for it pushes us to the edge of where our understanding meets God’s unsearchable judgements and unfathomable ways.

And though we may not completely understand, there’s no denying the magnitude of His sovereignty and the depth of His mercy.

For when we acknowledge God’s absolute freedom — though it may challenge — we begin to find comfort as we see our place in His redemptive plan.

Faith Passes Through the Waters [Hebrews 11:27-29]

March 6, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/06/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Hebrews

Key Text: Hebrews 11:27-29

Description:

Avg Guy: Faith prevents the difficulties of life, for a lack of it is sure to bring trials and tribulations.

[sfx: buzzer]

SBC Host: That’s not what the Bible teaches.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews and our focus on Moses in the Hall of Faith.

Faith looks to God. It doesn’t prevent the difficulties in life, but it does overcome them.

Often, God uses difficulties to strip away our self-reliance and silence our prideful hearts, and it is in this silence that faith looks to God in trust — knowing that even when we can’t see His hand, we can trust His heart.

The Bounties of a Victorious King [Ephesians 4:7-11]

May 15, 2011

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/15/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:7-11

Description: Our passage this morning offers a few problem areas for the exegete, not the least of which seems to be Paul’s apparent misquote of Psalm 68. But a careful study thru this amazing Psalm reveals how a victorious king shares the spoils of war with an underserving people.
