Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah, where we’re reminded that God is not only a Savior — but also a Shepherd.
A Shepherd Who gathers His people… and leads them forward.
Which causes us to ask: What does it mean to truly walk in His name?
Because what we find is this:
His grace doesn’t stop at rescue— It empowers obedience.
What if everything you’ve ever done, everything you’ve ever thought, or everything you’ve ever intended — every hidden sin — was written down and made visible?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we’re given a vivid and unsettling vision of this very thing: a flying scroll exposing sin and a woman in a basket — confined, contained, and carried away.
It’s a picture of God’s holy standard and His active judgment. And yet, it also serves as a backdrop making the gospel shine all the brighter.
For on this Palm Sunday, we should see that Christ didn’t just come to be praised — He came to purify.
And He came to carry the curse so we wouldn’t have to.
Have you ever felt the weight of guilt or the sting of accusation?
Have you ever wondered if you could truly be accepted before a holy God?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah where we are taken into a divine courtroom.
Joshua the High Priest, stained with sin, stands accused — filthy and unworthy.
Satan is ready to condemn: “Look at him covered in sin! He’s mine!
But then, something incredible happens… God, Himself, intervenes — with all-knowing knowledge of the Lamb slain for sinners — rebukes the accuser: NO SATAN! Legally, he’s MINE.
…And removes Joshua’s filthy garments, and clothes him in righteousness.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and invites us to ponder a question that has remained with church history for 2000 years:
Why is it that we are guilty, even before we have done anything wrong ourselves?
For our understanding of this exact question forms the basis of our understanding of, not only Original Sin but, the gospel itself.
SBC Host: “Weak and useless”… God’s description of the Levitical Priesthood.
The Levitical Priesthood had problems.
Avg Guy:Wait a minute! What was wrong?? Why couldn’t something be done to fix it?
SBC Host: There was. And He did.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Hebrews in which we see why a priesthood, that had once been ordained by God, was now needing to be replaced.
But then it all makes sense when viewed against the backdrop of the Gospel, where we see on display man’s great need and the perfect work of Christ.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker shares with us that holiness is not something that you muster all of your energy to do, but rather something that is done to you. Holiness is an EFFECT – not a cause. Often, people believe that they need to “get better” in order to qualify for salvation. That in fact is, nothing is more impossible: the flesh cannot “Christianize” the flesh… because holiness is of the Lord.
Description: When you think of the word Sabbath, what comes to mind? For many of us the word sounds ominous and even burdensome. But if that’s the image that comes to our minds, we have missed the richness and wonder of this command. As we look at the opening verses of Genesis Chapter 2, we will see the beauty and understand more clearly what Jesus meant when He said that the Sabbath wasn’t made for man, but man for the Sabbath.
Description: The Good Shepherd is one of the thrusts of Biblical scripture. This illustration encompasses many ideas, including God’s care for his people and his discipline to correct the wandering sheep. The tendency of humans to put themselves into danger’s way and their inability to guide and take care of themselves apart from the direct power and leading of God is also reinforced with the metaphor of sheep in need of a shepherd.
