God Alone Is My Refuge [Psalm 62:1-12]

November 9, 2025

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/09/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 62

Description:

When life feels like it’s slipping out from under us…
we all run somewhere.

To people.
To accomplishments.
To distraction.
To whatever promises to hold us up when we feel like we’re falling.

But what happens when those refuges give way?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship study with Psalm 62 — where David declares that every refuge in this world is fragile and false… but God alone is strong, faithful, and near.

This psalm doesn’t simply call us to believe about God —
but to rest in Him.
To entrust our weary souls to the One who never shifts, never fades, and never fails.

Because the question is not whether you will seek refuge.

The question is whether the refuge you will seek… will save.

September 28, 2025

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/28/2025

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Key Text: Lamentations 3:19-24

Description:

Life is not always smooth.
In fact, suffering is almost guaranteed.

…So when you do suffer, is your reflex to dwell on your circumstances… or on Christ — the One who bears you up?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow, pauses on our study in Colossians and takes us to the book of Lamentations, where see Jeremiah move from the depths of despair to the heights of hope.

Because here’s the truth:

Even when everything in your world falls apart, the steadfast love of Christ never does… and never will.

Remembering Hope [Lamentations 3:19-24]

September 29, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/29/2024

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Key Text: Lamentations 3:19-24

Description:

The suffering, intense.

The pain and sorrow, all-consuming.

The struggle, real.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow turns to the book of Lamentations as our congregation continues to struggle in this very real way.

In our passage we read how the author also faced intense suffering and all-consuming pain and sorrow.

But then, something remarkable happens — he chooses to remember.

He remembers that — even in the worst of times — God’s steadfast love never ceases, for His mercies are new every morning. And it is through this recollection that the author finds the hope that transcends even the deepest despair.

…Which ultimately is the reminder we need:

Hope is not something we wait for, but something we remember.
