Sermon Notes
Date: 02/04/2018
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 35
Description: Have you ever been away a long time from home? Perhaps a month, or even a year? Well, Jacob had been gone for 30 years, and his homecoming brought with it pleasure along with pain.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao returns to the pulpit – after having been away himself for a time to mourn the loss of his son, Isaiah.
He continues with our study in the book of Genesis and reminds us that when it comes to pleasure and pain, most things in life are a mixture of the two. But take note: God is not only with us in our pleasure, He too is with us in our pain… and He proves sufficient for all that He brings into our life.

Sermon Notes
Date: 09/10/2017
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 31:1-21
Description: There are times in our lives when God, through His grace, will change our affections toward a particular situation to prepare our hearts for a difficult decision. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis to show us how the Lord did this very thing in the lives of Jacob and his wives. The circumstance: difficult relations with Laban, Jacob’s father-in-law. The result: Jacob decides to leave Haran and head back to the Land of Promise; and in that we see the rise of the new Patriarch of the Faith as he steps toward Canaan and fills the shoes of his father Isaac.

Sermon Notes
Date: 08/27/2017
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 29:31 – 30:24
Description: Sometimes we come across portions of the Bible that hard to believe were ever recorded… portions that read more like “Daytime Television” would. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and moves us through a section that would be more at home in the tabloids and gossip rags than would seem to fit with Holy Writ… and yet God is bringing about His promises in the midst of a sinful fiasco, and behind all the ugliness there is a purpose.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 29:15-30
Description: The “School of Hard Knocks” – a school that no one would voluntarily enroll… But sometimes God has other plans. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that oftentimes God uses trials and difficulties to grow and sanctify us – especially when our lives pattern that of Jacob: lives governed by worship of self and deceit. Yes…
When it comes to the School of Hard Knocks, we may desire to skip, but God ensures we attend.
…if for no other purpose than to build our character and faith in Him alone.

Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 29:1-15
Description: His bags were packed, and he had left for Haran to secure a wife; but what Jacob didn’t know was that God was already ahead of him to secure his heart. Yes…
Jacob was on “Operation Wife,” but God was on “Operation Jacob.”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and shows us that some of the most difficult things we go through in life are but the hand of God molding us into the person He wants us to be: sanctifying us as He removes the chaff.
