Series: Colossians

Key Text: Colossians 1:21-23

Description:

Have you ever felt that your faith has been stretched to the breaking point?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of Colossians in which Paul takes us on a guided tour from “Ruin to Reconciliation” — emphasizing the importance of continuing in the faith. Paul shows us that continuing in the faith is not a matter of *our* strength, but on us relying on Christ’s.

For it is only by understanding the depth of our spiritual ruin that we can fully understand the amazing work of Jesus Christ to reconcile us to God.

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.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 01/15/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 1:1-7

Description:  

Do you ever wonder about your standing before God?

Do you wonder if God is angry with you when you are weak?

…Or do you wonder if God compares you with other Christians who seem to have it all together?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans in which we are just about through the Apostle Paul’s salutation to the believers in Rome — a salutation that goes WAY beyond a simple greeting.

For we find him laying a foundation of gospel truth that when correctly understood makes those questions we started with go away… and can only result in praising our great God from whom all blessings flow.

Key Text: 1 Colossians 1:21-23

Description:

Avg Guy: I’m a pretty good person. I’m not THAT BAD.

SBC Host: Oh but, according to 1 Colossians 1:21, you ARE that bad.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Josh Peglow fills in at the Pulpit to give Pastor Monty some much needed Father’s Day “hammock time” and shares with us that outside of Christ, we are enemies of God… because sinners sin.

Our only chance — our only hope — is to get right with God… a task of utter impossibility, by us… but by His grace, He has done all the work FOR us.

All we must do is to be willing to be reconciled.

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/14/2010

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 2:14-18

Description: Christ is our peace, and it is through the cross that He has made reconciliation — not only between a Holy God and sinful man, but also between men. It is in Christ that racism and cultural barriers and animosity ends and where community, faith, and a true oneness can be found.
