For it is in this section of scripture that the Apostle Paul expresses his anguish and unyielding love for his Jewish brethren, set against the backdrop of the many spiritual advantages they have received as the descendants of those who received the great promises of God — culminating in Jesus, who is the Christ.

SBC logo 204x204

As Israelites would travel to Jerusalem for the three Pilgrim Feasts, they would play their favorite music by lifting up their voices in song.

These songs are known as the “Psalms of Ascent.” There are 15 of them, and this morning we look at the third: Psalm 122 — a psalm which gives us an interesting view of Jerusalem with many lessons for the church.

The GreatER Exodus [Revelation 15:1-8]

August 18, 2019

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/18/2019

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 15:1-8

Description: Have you ever had a dream in which you were being pursued? Have you ever awoke in a cold sweat because you were almost caught?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which he teaches that the feeling of being pursued is one the ancient Israelites knew well, as God brought about a great deliverance in the Exodus.

SBC logo 204x204

But as great a picture as the Exodus is in showing us God’s deliverance, the Bible speaks of an even greater “Exodus” with a freedom that comes from One who is greater than Moses.

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/12/2019

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 11:1-2

Description: A new temple in Jerusalem will be constructed and temple sacrifices reinstituted. …Or will they?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us how the beginning of chapter 11 draws our attention back to the eschatological temple that Ezekiel prophesied of. SBC logo 204x204

But what is this temple? Is it going to be just like before with animal sacrifices and everything? Or, rather, was Ezekiel’s vision a picture of something greater which finds it’s fulfillment in Christ?

Immanuel — God with us [Revelation 11:1-2]

SBC frame line - current sermons

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/05/2019

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Revelation

Key Text: Revelation 11:1-2

Description: Most people think the end game of the Bible (Consummation) is for God to bring man back to The Garden.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation, and teaches us that in the story of Redemption, that line of thinking is simply NOT TRUE. SBC logo 204x204

No, Consummation will bring us back to a state far better than Eden…far better than anything we can imagine! 

For sin will be no more, righteousness will reign, and the garden will have been expanded to the ends of the earth…where God will dwell with us.

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/15/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:7-11

Description: Our passage this morning offers a few problem areas for the exegete, not the least of which seems to be Paul’s apparent misquote of Psalm 68.  But a careful study thru this amazing Psalm reveals how a victorious king shares the spoils of war with an underserving  people.

The Mystery of the Gospel [Ephesians 3:3-6]

July 18, 2010

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/18/2010

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 3:3-6

Description:  Paul reveals a mystery that was made known to him that the Gentiles would hold the same status and be fused together with the Jews in a new people called the church. This was a hard message for the Jews to hear. This was a mystery that was not previously revealed to the OT Prophets and was far greater than the Proselyte structure that had existed in ancient Israel. In this new covenant, the Gentiles would be fellow-heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promises found in Christ Jesus.
