The King Who Fulfills the Law [Matthew 5:17-20]

June 21, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 06/21/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 5:17-20

Description:

Avg Guy: Okay… so the scribes and Pharisees were the experts in the Law and the Prophets.

SBC Host: That’s right.

Avg Guy: And Jesus says our righteousness has to exceed theirs to enter the kingdom.

SBC Host: Yes.

Avg Guy: So I just need to try harder than a Pharisee… and I’m in!

SBC Host: Not exactly.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

as Jesus corrects
that misunderstanding.

For Jesus did not come
to abolish the Law or the Prophets.

He came to fulfill them.

The kingdom
does not make righteousness smaller.

It exposes lawlessness
treating God’s commands lightly,

and outward religion
that cannot make sinners clean.

The righteousness that enters the kingdom
is found first
in the King who fulfilled the Law —

and by grace,
bears fruit
in His people.

Avg Guy: Oh.

Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand [Matthew 3:1-12]

March 22, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/22/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Study: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 3:1-12

Description:

When God sends a voice
to shatter your confidence…

“REPENT!”

What do you do?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

where the silence is broken.

A voice cries out
from the wilderness:

“Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.”

Not to comfort—
but to confront.

It is a warning
to those of us who trust in appearance…
in heritage…
in religion.

“Do not say,
‘We have Abraham as our father.’”

Because the King is near —
the axe, already laid
at the root.

And the One who is coming
will gather His wheat —
and burn the chaff
with unquenchable fire.

So when the warning comes
telling you to repent —

WILL YOU?

Who ARE You? [John 1:19-28]

September 25, 2011

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/25/2011

Preacher: Frank Acevedo, elder

Series: John

Key Text: John 1:19-28

Description: A man goes out to baptize and preach the coming of the Lord. He was asked, “Who are you?” John the Baptist proved to be that voice whose obedience in faith, and persecution for the Lord was indeed in the spirit and power of Elijah. He was the road builder laying the path for the Lord.
