Enjoy the Moment, Rejoice in the Lord [Ecclesiastes 5:8 — 6:9]

October 2, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/02/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 5:8 — 6:9

Description:

We think it will make us happy… and yet, he was in a unique position to tell us it won’t.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and reminds us that the Bible has a lot to say about money, and that Solomon, as the wealthiest (and wisest) man of his day, had a perspective unlike any other.

For not only was he able to shed light on the DANGERS of money, but to share his ironic OBSERVATIONS about how riches — the very thing we think will make us happy — will not.

Instead, actual satisfaction and contentment, can only come from GRATITUDE… gratitude for the gifts of God.

Let us not miss this lesson, but enjoy the good gifts that God has given with grateful hearts.

Be Faithful Unto Death [Revelation 2:8-11]

October 14, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/14/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 2:8-11

Description: Some of the poorest people are actually the richest… and some of the richest are the poorest.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us that just as the world is not always as it seems, the city of Smyrna was not always as it seemed: Christians were being tortured and killed, and yet they were victorious and obtained the victor’s crown while eternal judgment awaited those in power who were wreaking havoc upon the church.

As Christians we are not promised to be rescued from life’s trials, but rather to persevere through them… and that God always knows and sees all that we are going through because of Him. And with that, He promises to those that are faithful and complete the race and overcome, that the Crown of Life awaits.
