Sermon Notes
Date: 12/01/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 20:11-15
Description: It’s not a comfortable topic…and yet the Bible speaks very directly, and often graphically, about it.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we delve into the topic of judgement, and in particular, the Great White Throne of Judgement. 
Questions like: “Who sits on this throne?”… “Who is being judged?”… and “Are believers judged the same as unbelievers?” are all important and valid questions that we will seek answers.
For though this topic may come with questions and feelings of uneasiness, one thing is for certain: the sure judgment of God awaits every person.

Sermon Notes
Date: 11/24/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 20:7-10
Description:
Avg. Guy: “Who is Gog and Magog???”
SBC Host: Speak about the book of Revelation for any length of time, and this is a question that will likely arise.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao shares a section from the book of Revelation that is shrouded in mystery.
Avg. Guy: You’re telling me! It seems that every time I turn around, the maps get redone, and the names I thought I had down, change! Which just makes these “Gog and Magog” characters seem more shadowy than ever.
SBC Host: It can be confusing. But maybe that’s because we’re asking the wrong questions.
Avg. Guy: huh?
SBC Host: Maybe the question should not be the identity of God’s enemies, but rather what happens to them…when the sovereign God and His people are opposed.

Sermon Notes
Date: 11/17/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 20:4-6
Description:
SBC Host: Revelation 20 verses 4 thru 6 demands answers to many questions.
Avg. Guy: You’re telling me! John writes about seeing martyred saints on thrones?? What are these thrones??? And then there’s that 1000-year millennium thing again…What to we do with that?? If there’s a first resurrection… is there a second? And if there’s a second death... is there a first??? …I’m so confused!?
SBC Host: Hold on. I told you there were questions to answer. But while these questions may seem ominous and intimidating at first, their answers present to us a beautiful passage of hope beyond the grave.

Sermon Notes
Date: 11/10/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 20:1-3
Description: The opening verses of Revelation 20 are by far the most argued and most contested verses in this entire last book of the Bible.
Today on Scandia Bible Church, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that the differing end-times positions we see in the church today are largely defined by how one views the millennial period mentioned in this chapter.

But this needn’t be a passage of confusion. We can make sense of what God is showing us in these passages, for though at first glance they may seem daunting, clarity and understanding awaits, from Him.

Sermon Notes
Date: 11/03/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 19:17-21
Description: It’s a feast! But there’s more than one…
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that at the end of chapter 19, we are provided with an image of two different feasts.
The first is a beautiful banquet of the Marriage supper of the Lamb — the second, a grotesque gorge, that is even difficult to read about.

God’s judgment and eternal damnation is a difficult topic, but it’s one that Christ and His apostles spoke often of, and therefore, requires our attention.

Sermon Notes
Date: 10/27/2019
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 19:11-16
Description: Everyone of us pictures Jesus in some way in our minds. Oftentimes, though, these pictures come more from pop culture than they do Scripture.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares that no matter what your picture of Jesus is, it likely falls short of the vision John received in chapter 19.

You see, if your picture of Jesus is “Jesus meek and mild,” then you might do a double take when He — the mighty Warrior King — comes galloping into battle on His white horse with robe dipped in blood.

Preacher: Kris Baines, guest pastor
Key Text: Philippians 3:12 – 4:1
Description: There’s no doubt we’re living in challenging times — times in which there is an unprecedented effort to marginalize Christian values.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back our Down Under pastor and pianist friend, Kris Baines, to share the encouraging message that though we face challenge, with Jesus, we can remain unshakable.

For though the world — like never before in recent history — now celebrates and normalizes things the Bible condemns as wicked, sinful, and perverse, we as followers of Jesus Christ are called and empowered to “keep going and stand firm” in our Christian walk.
