The Verdict with Pastor John Munro Podcast

AVIZANDUM: Unhitching the Old Testament

Stand Strong for Jesus, Pt. 1

In today’s world, taking a stand for Jesus Christ isn’t always easy. And no matter who we are, we can fail and fail badly. On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro looks at Peter’s denial of Christ and encourages us to stay vigilant and stand strong in the face of opposition.

Jesus on Trial, Pt. 2

Before Jesus was put to death on the cross, He was put on trial, first by the religious leaders, and then by the Roman government.

Jesus on Trial, Pt. 1

Watch and Pray, Pt. 2

When the storms of life surround us, it’s easy to despair, to feel helpless, to struggle or just withdraw.  But on this episode of The Verdict, we’re learning powerful lessons from the example of Jesus as Pastor John Munro takes us through the dark hours before the cross.

Watch and Pray, Pt. 1

Love of Money and Love of Sinners, Pt. 2

In 1^st Timothy chapter 6, verse 10, the apostle Paul reminds us that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” And we see this destructive desire at work in the betrayal of Jesus by one of His own. But in this episode ofThe Verdict, Pastor John Munro contrasts this misplaced love with the matchless love of Christ.

Love of Money and Love of Sinners, Pt. 1

Jesus taught that it’s impossible to serve two masters. On this episode of The Verdict we’ll see this in sharp relief as Pastor John Munro shares two very different pictures of love. The love of money which leads to betrayal. And then the love of our Savior demonstrated so powerfully just hours before the cross.

In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro continues his study in the book of Matthew reminding us about the nature of worship.
