Admittedly there are a lot of things we don’t know about the book of Hebrews.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao embarks on a new study in the book of Hebrews.
And while the background of the book may leave more questions than answers, the content does provide us an answer to the most important question arising from the Old Testament and from life itself.
…And that answer is Christ.

Key Text: Titus 2:11-14
Description:
Driver: Hey Grace… How do I get to Christian Living?
Grace GPS: Getting directions to Christian Living. … Starting from Salvation, with the grace of God, drive straight and continue on the narrow path for a lifetime with sobriety, righteousness, and godliness. Along the way, avoid ungodliness and worldly lusts, as you look for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Driver: Thank you.
Grace GPS: Happy to help!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit and takes us to the book of Titus where we are reminded that when we need direction, “Grace” is there!… the grace of God… for it instructs us how to live, points us toward our coming hope, and grounds us in the work of Christ.
Ultimately, what we find is that the grace of God transforms us.

Series: The Church: Church Discipline, CoronaVirus
Key Text: 1 Corinthians 4-5; Revelation 2:18-23; Matthew 18
Description:
Bible Reader: “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private—”
Christian Brother: I OBJECT, Your Honor!
[crowd rouses and is quickly tamped down by gavel banging]
Judge: Order! Order in the court!
To cover any topic completely, we must look at the objections that are raised against our position — objections raised by Christians who are looking at the situation from a different point of view and try to understand where they are coming from and what their concerns are.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our deep dive on Church Discipline within our series on The Church and explains that even sincere Christians who love the Lord, often object to the practice of church discipline.
What are these objections?
We’ll look at some and then examine two case studies from the Bible showcasing churches that did not practice church discipline…and their ensuing outcomes.

Key Text: Luke 9:23-26; John 13:34-35; 1 Cor 13:4-8; 1 Pe 4:8
Description: We know that sin — all sin — is bad, and that God hates all sin. But is every possible sin under the sun grounds for formal church discipline?
Today on Scandia Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our miniseries on Church Discipline within our greater study on The Church and posses the question: “Where do we draw the line?”
Is it possible to entirely miss the point of church discipline and have every member of a church calling out every other member for every little thing?
Or do we find that there are other factors to consider?… such as wisdom and love.

Series: The Church: Church Discipline, CoronaVirus
Key Text: 1 Corinthians 5
Description:
“Shouldn’t this person and his conduct be confronted and dealt with?…You pass it off as a small thing, but it’s anything but that. Yeast, too, is a ‘small thing,’ but it works its way through a whole batch of bread dough pretty fast. So get rid of this ‘yeast.’ ”
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study on Church Discipline and notes that Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, seems to instruct a very different and — dare I say — more drastic method for church discipline than what we learned from Jesus in the book of Matthew.
Why is this? …And why, in order to correctly view and apply church discipline, must the church exercise wisdom?

Key Text: Matthew 18
Description:
“If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?” [Matthew 18:12]
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our series on the Church, and specifically church discipline, as we look at the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 18.
And what we find is that this is not an isolated text, but a theological treatise that not only instructs in the HOW of church discipline but the WHY, as well — and roots discipline in the Gospel of grace.

Key Text: Hebrews 12:1-3; Matthew 18:15-17
Description:
SBC Host: How does the word “discipline” strike you?
Avg Guy: Strike me? … Oh I get it! Striking happens with discipline. [laughs]… Hey you turned off my mic!
SBC Host: Yeah, I meant to do that.
When we hear the word discipline, most of us think of strikes from the rod, dunce hats while standing in the corner, public embarrassment, and frankly, nothing good.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our series on The Church in which we learn that while the word discipline may conjure up negative images…it’s not negative at all.
In fact, it is actually something we need, ought to want, and is commanded — in the life of the church.

Description: How do we as Christians practice hope in our lives?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao returns to deliver part 2 of his sermon on practicing hope, in which we find, not coincidentally, the framework for practicing hope wonderfully incorporated into the Lord’s Prayer.

Avg Guy: I’m confused. To be saved, Paul says I need faith…James says works. Who’s right??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, brother in Christ, David Teves fills in at the pulpit to address this apparent contradiction surrounding the Biblical doctrine of justification as he continues his “5 Solas Series.”
And what we’ll find is that when it comes to reading scripture, “first glances,” as one blog author put it, “are not enough.”

Description: Temptation. The struggle is real.
Today on Scandia Bible Church, as the Pandemic of 2020 continues, Pastor Monty Simao continues our series on The Church, wrapping our study on The Lord’s Prayer, in which we consider temptation.
We know what it is, for we fight against it everyday.
But if God, himself, does not tempt us, why in the world should we pray that He lead us not into temptation?

Avg Guy: Oh, I know! Food, water, and shelter.
SBC Host: Not a bad answer, and certainly all necessary for life… but not the GREATEST NEED.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao presses on, preaching behind the “PlexiPulpit” as we congregate amidst COVID19, and continues our series on The Church, mining the depths of The Lord’s Prayer.
And what we’ll find, is that our greatest need is not PHYSICAL but SPIRITUAL.
In fact, if we are rich with physical needs, but lack this one spiritual need, we are, indeed, poor.
