Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 01/12/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 1:1-6

Description:

When life feels broken… plans in ruins… and hope out of reach — What do you do??

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we learn from Pastor Monty Simao that that is exactly what God’s people were up against when the prophet Zechariah spoke to them.

Today on the podcast, we start a new study in Zechariah — a book filled with hope, reminders of God’s faithfulness, and a vision for restoration through Christ.

SBC logo 204x204

For what we see, in just the opening verses, is that in the midst of their discouragement and unfinished work, God’s message to His people — spoken through Zechariah — was clear:

“Return to Me… that I may return to you.”

From Darkness to Light: The Messiah in Isaiah and Zechariah [Isaiah 9:1-7]

January 5, 2025

 Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 01/05/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Advent

Key Text: Isaiah 9:1-7; Zechariah (selected texts)

Description:  

Over 700 years before Christ, the prophet Isaiah spoke of a Great Light breaking into the darkness — a Child that would bring peace, justice, and restoration to a world weighed down by darkness and despair.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao brings us an advent sermon that explores this stunning prophecy from Isaiah that points us to Jesus, the Messiah.

SBC logo 204x204

For Jesus not only fulfills these promises delivered by the prophet nearly 3,000 years ago, but He also transforms our lives this very day.

The Son is Supreme [Colossians 1:15-20]

December 29, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/29/2024

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Colossians

Key Text: Colossians 1:15-20

Description:

“For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

— Colossians 1:16

Heaven and earth. Visible and invisible. They’re not just a poetic way of communicating; they’re a powerful way of expressing totality.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of Colossians, where we see Paul masterfully and artistically describe Christ using merisms:  a style in which, by contrasting extremes, the communicator is able to more completely express a level of comprehensiveness… of wholeness — from the very ends, to all points in between.

SBC logo 204x204

This is critical as Paul lays a necessary foundation about Christ in the first part of his letter to the people of Colossae. It’s a foundation that paints a breathtaking picture of the Lord Jesus Christ’s supremacy and centrality to all of creation.

For he is not just saying that Christ is significant; he is saying that Christ is everything.

If we can just get beyond the lights, gifts, and celebrations… 

What is the true meaning of Christmas??

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, on this Sunday before Christmas, Pastor Monty Simao turns to the book of 1 Timothy where Paul cuts to the heart as to why we celebrate Advent. And he does it with a simple, clear, yet profound, answer to our question.

The true meaning of Christmas is that…

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”

— God’s incredible grace and mercy made visible in the coming of Jesus… bringing hope to a broken world.

Christ Alone, Our Only Hope [John 1:1-18]

November 24, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/24/2024

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 1:1-18

Description:

Careful… where you put your hope.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves reminds us — though the noise of this world may clamor otherwise — we have no hope in leaders, politicians, or even pastors.

Our only hope is Christ, alone.

Christ is God.
Christ is Creator of the universe.
Christ is Savior of the world.

No other leader can say that!

SBC logo 204x204

The love Christ has for us and the work He has done for us should lead us to hearts of thankfulness and gratitude. It should give us a desire to be in His Word and to seek Him above all else.

For presidents and governors will come and go, but Christ reigns forever.

Beyond the List: Lessons From Paul’s Closing Words [Romans 16:1-16, 21-23]

November 10, 2024

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 11/10/2024

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 16:1-16, 21-23

Description:

Every single person, every single act of service, matters deeply to God.

This includes you.

— That’s the heart of Paul’s message.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao nears the end of our study in the book of Romans where we find Paul seemingly rolling the credits of acknowledge for the conclusion of his letter.

SBC logo 204x204

But upon closer inspection, we discover he is not just listing names, but honoring individuals — teachers, hosts, friends, and those who have worked tirelessly in the background — because it all does matter to God.

God’s vision for the church values every member, every gift, and every quiet labor of love. This isn’t just Paul’s list; it’s a picture of what it means to belong to a family of faith.
