Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 15

Description:

What kind of person is truly worthy to live in the presence of God?
No one.
Unless… he is perfectly righteous.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao takes us to the fifteenth psalm in our Wisdom and Worship study, in which David asks this very question:

“O Lord, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy hill?”

The answer:

Only the one whose life is blameless…
whose heart is pure…
whose actions are flawless…
whose words are faithful…
and whose love is unwavering.

In other words — no one but Jesus.

This portrait of holiness stands not as a ladder for the proud to climb, but as a mirror for the humble to see their need.

Jesus Christ is the only Man who ever walked this earth with perfect integrity, perfect truth, and perfect love.
He alone is worthy to dwell on God’s holy hill.

But by His grace, His righteousness becomes ours—
and we too, amazingly, will one day dwell on the holy hill with the Lord God Almighty.

Because in the end, Psalm 15 is not about us meeting the standard…
but about the One who already has.

Series: Zechariah

Key Text: Zechariah 3:1-5

Description:

[Courtroom Vignette]

Like a BRAND plucked from FIRE….

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.
