The Curse and Grace [Genesis 3:1-21]

December 24, 2023

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/24/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Advent

Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21

Description:

Advent — a time of reflection and anticipation.

Today, Christmas Eve morning, on the Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao delves into the story that changed the course of humanity: God’s perfect creation and the entrance of sin into all that He had made.

This story is not just about the first sin, though, it’s a mirror reflecting our own struggles, hopes, and the profound need for redemption.

Because when all that Adam and Eve ought to have expected was God’s wrath, in the midst of Almighty’s curse was (and is) a promise of a Savior to come.

So even as sin entered the world, hope also entered with the promise of Jesus the Savior who would crush the head of the serpent once and for all.

Date: 05/02/2010

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 3:1

Description: Paul explains his circumstances to the Ephesian believers. He knew that some were discouraged by his imprisonment and persecution. Many of them probably wondered why God allowed those things to happen. But Paul never wondered, Paul knew.
