Preacher: David Teves, deacon
Key Text: John 11:1-16
Description:
Jesus cried out in a loud voice:
“LAZARUS, COME FORTH!”
…And then, out of the tomb walked a man wrapped from head to toe in burial clothing… a man who — without a doubt — was once dead, but now — for all to see — ALIVE!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves brings us a message from an account in the Bible, that while familiar to most, is nothing short of a miracle.
And though the super natural aspect of this event takes center stage, what we’ll find is that the Lord has multiple lessons buried within — lessons that undeniably point us to the truth that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is worth following.

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 4:12-19
Description:
For doing evil… or for doing good:
Two different reasons one can suffer.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter in which believers are urged to ensure that their suffering is a result of their Christian witness rather than wrongdoing.
Peter addresses the reality of suffering for being a Christian and encourages us not to be surprised by the fiery trials we may face.
Such suffering is cause for rejoicing, for it is a participation in the suffering of Christ… which means on the day in which it is revealed, we will also share in His glory.

Sermon Notes

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Romans
Key Text: Romans 5:1-5
Description:
We have a great NEED — and, by His grace — a great SAVIOR.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Romans and points to this sobering and magnificent reality that Paul has written about.
For we know that Christ saves us “by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,” but even so, we may not yet see some of the practical results of this justification by faith alone.
In our passage, the Apostle Paul masterfully connects our theology with practical living and shows us the path that God has laid out for Christian growth.
What we’ll find is that through correct doctrine, we have the proper lens in which to view the world, especially in the face of life’s difficulties.

Sermon Notes
Date: 08/28/2022
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Key Text: Psalm 27
Description:
Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me… I shall be confident.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow takes the pulpit to share a Psalm, a prayer, a very raw and vulnerable cry to God from King David. And while this psalm demonstrates fearless trust, courageous confidence, and unwavering faith… it also shows us something else: David is scared.
“Please don’t leave me Lord.”
It’s hard to imagine someone of his stature feeling this way… and yet, he does. And by God’s grace it is recorded for us as an example to pattern and learn from — an encouraging imperative.
For as David concludes:
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord,
In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

Key Text: Matthew 6:13
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?

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder
Key Text: James 1:1-4
Description: If your life is a challenge, be encouraged that you are a normal human being. The Bible tells us that there will be ongoing trials, testing and temptations. Christianity will not make you immune. The only difference for a Christian is that they can rest in absolute confidence that their loving God is with them. This truth is developed beautifully in the first verses in the Book of James.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Job
Key Text: Job 2:11–3:26
Description: We are introduced in the text to Job’s three friends. They meant well but they bring to mind the cliché, “with friends like these who needs enemies?” Several months have transpired since Job’s tribulation started, and he is now at that point where death looks sweet and Job curses the day of his birth — always the unanswerable question of…”Why?”

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Ephesians
Key Text: Ephesians 3:1
Description: Paul explains his circumstances to the Ephesian believers. He knew that some were discouraged by his imprisonment and persecution. Many of them probably wondered why God allowed those things to happen. But Paul never wondered, Paul knew. He knew that if he was in prison it was only because God wanted him in prison and he knew that God would use whatever circumstances to fulfil His kingdom purpose.
