Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:15-23

Description:  

Whom do you serve?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and poses this question.

Because while it’s not uncommon for an unbeliever to see themselves as living in freedom while Christians submit themselves to bondage, the Bible paints a different picture.

For the one you serve is your master.

If you serve sin, you are enslaved to sin… and your path leads to death.

If you serve righteousness, you are freed from sin… and, instead, enslaved to God who gives eternal life.

Your choice.

Dead to Sin. Alive to God. [Romans 6:1-7]

July 9, 2023

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 07/09/2023

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Romans

Key Text: Romans 6:1-7

Description:  

Avg Guy: I believe you could argue that sinning is ultimately good!

SBC Host: That’s a pretty big statement. What do you mean?

Avg Guy: Well, we are saved apart from our works, right?

SBC Host: Right.

Avg Guy: And since we know that “when sin increases grace abounds all the more”… It’s obvious the law is now obsolete. 

SBC Host: I’m not sur—

Avg Guy: —It’s simple: More sin equals more grace! And who wouldn’t want more grace?? Ergo, sin is good. I rest my case.

SBC Host: Careful. Your line of thinking will not end well.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and shows us that this twisted thinking challenged the Gospel.

Man was turning grace into a license to sin — distorting the God’s Word and corrupting many in the church. 

In our passage, Paul responds to these challenges to show the impossibility of such a view — using our union with Christ to show how such an idea would be simply absurd.

Slaves of Christ [Ephesians 6:5-9]

July 22, 2012

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/22/2012

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 6:5-9

Description: The single most prevalent description in the Bible of the Christian’s relationship with Christ is the slave/master relationship. If that is the case, why don’t we notice it when we are reading Scripture and what does that view of our Christian status declare about how we should then live?
