Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/14/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 14:1-11

Description:

What if the world shaking around us is not the end
— but the beginning of something greater?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Zechariah… where the prophet unveils a cosmic vision: cities collapsing, mountains splitting, and light piercing the darkness — all to reveal that the Lord Himself will come and reign over all the earth.

This is the future God has promised.

And in the midst of upheaval, His people are not forgotten:

They are…

RESCUED,
RENEWED, and
ROOTED
…in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Strong in the Lord [Zechariah 12:1–9]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/10/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 12:1-9

Description:

The church is a stone.
And in the face of opposition
no matter the generation —
it cannot be moved.

The hands that try will be broken.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues in the book of Zechariah,
where we encounter the final oracle
and wonder if the world’s hostility towards God’s people
isn’t a sign of God’s absence,
but a stage for His power.

In Christ, God’s people are not merely survivors;
they are made strong to stand,
to endure,
and to prevail.

SBC logo 204x204

And if that’s true,
then the question is…
Where do YOU stand —
in your strength… or His?

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/11/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 6:9-15

Description:

It wasn’t tradition.
It wasn’t politics.
It was prophecy.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah in which we see God giving His people a striking sign: a priest crowned like a king.

Avg Guy: But why would a priest wear a crown?? SBC logo 204x204

They wouldn’t, unless… that crown pointed forward to Jesus — the true Priest-King who would build God’s temple, rule with righteousness, and bring peace through His own sacrifice.

Floodwaters of Divine Wrath [Genesis 7:1-24]

August 21, 2016

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/21/2016

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Genesis

Key Text: Genesis 7

SBC logo 204x204Description:

“Then the flood came… and the water increased and lifted up the ark…. The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered…. All flesh that moved on the earth perished…. all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died…. They were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.”

(taken from Gen 7:17-23)

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Genesis and covers one of the most well-known and hotly-debated accounts in the Bible: The Flood of Noah. Oftentimes, though, with all the attention it garners, in the midst of exerting our focus and efforts in trying to defend it (or avoid it), we Christians miss something amazing — we miss the amazing part the flood plays in the history of our redemption.

Lessons from the book of Job [Job1-42]

September 21, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/21/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Job

Key Text: Job

Description:  In order to correctly apply the book of Job to our lives, we must take into account the entire book, including the epilogue.  It is in the final 11 verses of Job where we learn of his vindication and restoration and the condemnation of his three friends who have spoken falsely.  While Job never receives the answer to the question of why he is suffering, what he does receive is far greater.
