Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 12:17-21
Description:
Repay no one evil for evil; and as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Leave vengeance in God’s hands.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we confront a passage that challenges us to rise above our natural instincts and embrace a radically different way of dealing with conflict and injustice.
We’re reminded of the transformative power of responding to evil with good and showing kindness, even to our enemies.
It’s a power that in the face of wrongdoing, cultivates our hearts to seek peace and trust His justice.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 12:9-16
Description:
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.
…A powerful exhortation from Paul to love sincerely, to hate what is evil, and to cling to what is good. He challenges us to be devoted to one another in love, to honor others above ourselves, and to serve the Lord with zeal.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we seek God’s grace to embody these principles in our daily lives as we interact with others.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

Key Text: Romans 12:3-8
Description:
“A body isn’t really a body, unless there is more than one part.”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see Paul use the human body as a beautiful illustration to represent a healthy church
— an illustration that emphasizes the diversity of gifts and the importance of each member functioning within their God-given role… with humility, interdependence, and active participation
…in the body of Christ.

Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: Matthew 7:21-29
Description:
Sand or Rock?
…two types of foundations on which to build your house.
BUT ONLY ONE CAN WITHSTAND THE STORM.
Which one will you choose??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves shares that there are only two types of people in this world: those who will enter the kingdom of God, and those who will not.
In the conclusion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns against self-deception — for not everyone who outwardly professes Him as Lord, or who does mighty works in His name, will enter the kingdom of heaven.
You see it all depends on the FOUNDATION in which you build and live your life upon: the firm, stable, secure foundation of Christ… or the unsound, decrepit, parlous foundation of the world.
For truly only those who are grounded on the Rock — true disciples living a life of obedience to Him — will enter.
To the others, Christ will declare:
“I never knew you.”

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which see Paul — in just a few words — call us to a radical transformation, urging us to break free from worldly molds and embrace a new way of thinking and living.
But what does this transformation look like??

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 4:7-11
Description:
SBC Host: What would you do if you knew Christ was returning today?
Avg Guy: Clean the house??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study through 1 Peter in which we’re reminded that “the end of all things is near.”
But our response shouldn’t be to put on a pretty face.
Instead, we should do what we’ve always been called to do: to pray, to love, to be hospitable, to serve with the gifts given us.
… recognizing that these seemingly routine tasks — when coupled with His imminent return — infuse us with a heightened anticipation that enables us as Christians to live lives filled with great purpose and intentionality, allowing us to not only participate in God’s redemptive work, but — above all else — to bring Him glory.

Key Text: Romans 12:1
Description:
One verse.
One verse will challenge.
It will challenge you to think deeply about what it means — in the most practical and profound way — to live out your faith.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we look at one verse considered to be a cornerstone of the New Testament:
Paul, urging you to present your body as a living sacrifice.
…But what does that even mean??… and is it even possible??
By His grace this
One verse will (also) shift.
It will shift your perspective on service, sacrifice, and the ongoing supplies given you, in the gospel of grace.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see the Apostle Paul revealing a profound secret:
A time of fullness will come for both Jews and Gentiles, leading to a wider and more inclusive salvation than ever imagined.

Key Text: Romans 11:11-24
Description:
It’s a call to humility and warning against arrogance.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we encounter the olive tree — a vivid metaphor representing the integration of God’s people: both Jew and Gentile, united in Christ.
But it’s more than a word picture, it’s a profound discussion on the salvation of the Gentiles and their inclusion into this “tree.”
But we, the Gentile believers, are reminded not to boast against the branches (the Jewish people), but rather to consider our own place with sober judgment and gratitude.
For it is through this passage that we see a beautiful illustration of the continuity and unity in God’s covenantal plan — showing that the gospel is indeed “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Key Text: Romans 11:1-10
Description:
Avg Guy: It’s official! God has rejected His people, Israel, in favor of the Church.
SBC Host: No. No He hasn’t. In fact, Paul is emphatic over the matter. As an Israelite himself, he is the *perfect example* of why this is absolutely NOT the case.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we see a profound, gracious continuity in God’s dealings with His people — a thread that runs from Abraham to Christ, and beyond.
In chapter 11, the Apostle Paul introduces us to the concept of a “remnant” — Israelites chosen by God, by grace (not works) — standing as a testament of His faithfulness to His promises…
…promises that are fulfilled not just in historical happenings, but in the reality of Christ’s kingdom, already present and yet fully coming.
