It’s About Time! [Ecclesiastes 3:1-15]

August 21, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/21/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

Description:

SBC Host: It’s one of the first questions that a person learns in a new language—

Avg Guy: Excuse me — guy with the microphone. What time is it?

SBC Host: You’re absolutely right!! That’s the first question!

Avg Guy: No, I’m serious.

SBC Host: Oh, it’s 9:58. Church starts in two minutes.

Avg Guy: Good. There’s still time. Where’s the bathroom?

SBC Host: Down the hall and to the right.

Avg Guy: [takes off down the hall, and calls back] How much does it cost?

SBC Host: [calling to him down the hall] The bathroom is free… and so is church!

Avg Guy: Thanks!

SBC Host: [speaking to podcast audience] …And THOSE are the OTHER questions.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes in which we talk about “time.” It’s what life is made of.

The ebb and flow of events chronicle our days, and yet to what point??

What are we to do with this time we’ve been given?

We frantically attempt to make more of it, quickly spend it, and then try to find it!

But it brings more questions than answers. God has ALL the answers, but leaves us with questions. So what do we do??

Don’t spend too long thinking about it…

[clock ticking]

…Because time is moving on.

God was with Joseph [Genesis 39:1-23]

April 8, 2018

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/08/2018

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 39

Description: Genesis chapter 39 oftentimes is looked at as an example of how blessings can come to those who act righteously. But is that really what this chapter is here to show us?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and points out that when we remember Joseph’s success came to him as a slave, and then later as a prisoner, it kind of changes our perspective.

What does it mean to be a successful slave or a successful prisoner?

Perhaps God’s intent with Genesis chapter 39 is to teach us something different. Perhaps we are to understand that He is in control and that no matter what life brings – from slavery to imprisonment – we can bear it. Because, just as God was with Joseph, He is with us as well.

The First Gospel Proclamation [Genesis 3:1-21]

December 9, 2012

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/09/2012

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21

Description: Christmas is preeminently about God’s promise of a coming Savior who would rescue man from the curse of the fall. God’s mercy and grace is always seen in His works and in His interactions with man. In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve shook their fists to Heaven as they rebelled against God and God cursed them according to the covenant agreement. No sooner had the curse been said God also proclaimed the Gospel of a coming Savior.

Description: This book began proclaiming that God has given the believer every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places and now Paul has taken us from the heavenlies and brought us to our knees.
