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.

The Covenant-Keeping Wisdom of God [Proverbs 3:1-12]

October 19, 2025

Sermon Notes

Date: 10/19/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Proverbs 3:1-12

Description:

It’s not a spiritual formula — it’s a covenant call.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our Wisdom and Worship Study by taking us to Proverbs 3 —
one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture…
but also one of the most misunderstood.

This isn’t about following steps to get a blessed life.
It’s about trusting the covenant-keeping God who gives life.

Every command to trust Him…
every command to turn to Him…
every command to honor Him…
is not a demand for performance —
but an invitation to faith.

For Christ is the true Son who walked the wise path for us.
And through Him,
the blessings of the covenant are ours:
peace in the midst of chaos,
guidance in confusion,
discipline that restores,
and hope that endures to resurrection life.
