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.

A Man Called Job (part 2) [Job 1:1-5; 13-22]

April 6, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/06/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:1-5; 13-22

Description: In this sermon (part 2 of 2) we follow the man Job as he encounters calamity.  We only look at the parts of the story that happened directly to Job.  We see it from his perspective and skip the section of the happenings between God and Satan in the heavenly throne room (which we will cover in the next sermon).

We look at Job’s response and in it we see an example of a man who must look to a Redeemer in the midst of his trials.

We end by looking at Christ who in many ways is the anti-type of Job and is the greater sufferer and who accomplished the ultimate defeat of all of Job’s enemies.  (Listen to Part 1)

The Testimony of the Son [1 John 5:6-12]

February 16, 2014

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/16/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: 1 John

Key Text: 1 John 5:6-12

Description: John declares at the start of this epistle that he and the other Apostles were eye witnesses to the person and work of Christ. Although human testimony is important, John now calls forth the star witness…none other than God Himself.  God has declared Jesus to be the Christ and the only way of salvation for sinners. To reject the testimony of God is to call God a liar.

Notes:

  1. The Object of the Testimony
  2. The Source of the Testimony
  3. The Results of the Testimony

Date: 02/09/2014

In our passage this morning, John doesn’t leave us discouraged but tells us that in the midst of this battle, the Christian will overcome the world.

We will be looking at three things in regards to the Christians overcoming the world:

  1. Its SIGNIFICANCE
  2. Its SOURCE
  3. Its SUSTAINMENT
