Wisdom From Sorrow [Ecclesiastes 6:10 — 7:14]

October 9, 2022

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/09/2022

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Ecclesiastes

Key Text: Ecclesiastes 6:10 — 7:14

Description:

SBC Host: She made us eat our veggies… when dessert was what we—

Boy: —REALLY WANTED!

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Ecclesiastes and reminds us that when we were young, Mom knew best. For she knew the things that we wanted were not always the things that we really needed.

In much the same way, God knows exactly what we really need, and He often gives it to us through times of sorrow — the very thing we don’t want.

For it is in these times of sorrow that God enables a harvest of spiritual wisdom to spring forth in our lives — wisdom that can only find root in fields plowed in adversity.

Classic Edition – Psalm 145 – Bob Lowe

December 5, 2015

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/27/2009

Preacher: Bob Lowe, elder

Key Text: Psalm 145

Description: On November 18, 2015, our brother Bob Lowe went home to be with Jesus forever.

Bob faithfully served the Scandia congregation as elder for 14 years (1998-2012). While he did not preach each and every Sunday, he did numerous times. His messages were always thought provoking and true to the Word of God.

As our way of preserving his service and legacy to the church, we will be podcasting our archive of his sermons as part of our Classic Series each and every week… for as long as it takes.

In this particular sermon, delivered on December 29, 2009, Bob opened the 145th Psalm and demonstrated incredible pastoral leadership as he ministered to our sorrow-filled congregation just two days after the sudden passing of a child in our church.

“We called upon the name of the Lord,” he preached. “We called upon the name of the Lord. There is nobody else to call upon in a time like that. You have to call upon the name of the Lord.”

Though we mourn the passing of this precious child — and now Brother Bob — we pray for their families and take comfort in knowing where they are and that we will see them again. We pray that you will too.

In preparation for his passing, Bob and his wife, Susan, combed through his sermon archives and hand-selected two for a special Tribute CD to be handed out to those attending his memorial service. The CD is provided below as an mp3 download for you as well:

Your Sorrow Will Be Turned into Joy! [John 16:16-22; 20:1-31]

April 20, 2014

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/20/2014, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Key Text: John 16:16-22; 20:1-31

Description: In this sermon, we look at the promise Jesus made to His disciples in John chapter 16. He told them that they would be filled with sorrow even as the world rejoices, but that He would turn their sorrow into Joy. Then we look at John chapter 20, to see the fulfillment of that promise and the benediction of peace that Christ pronounced upon His church on that first Easter Sunday and continues to pronounce upon His people today.
