Jesus and Divorce, Pt. 1

These days divorce is quite common. We’re told if we’re unhappy, uncertain, or unfulfilled in our marriages, we can just walk away. But what does Jesus say about divorce? Pastor John Munro equips us by returning to the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 19 as we discuss issues of marriage and gender.

Jesus and Marriage, Pt. 2

Contrary to popular thought, marriage isn’t a social construct or a mere legal designation. Marriage is a holy covenant, ordained by God who created us. And so, to understand marriage, we must first understand God’s plan. Get a fresh perspective as Pastor John Munro examines the teaching of Jesus on the subject of marriage.

Jesus and Marriage, Pt. 1

Trusting God for the Impossible, Pt. 2

Salvation by faith is the heart of the Gospel. But what does “living by faith” really look like?

Justification Apart from Works, Pt. 2

Ordinances such as baptism and communion are certainly biblical, but are they essential for our salvation? Pastor John Munro helps us to better understand the implications of justification by faith and the role of these observances, as he continues a study in the book of Romans. Are you walking by faith and trusting in the promises of God?

Justification Apart from Works, Pt. 1

Some people believe that by observing certain religious rituals, they can confirm their own salvation. But are rituals and ceremonies really necessary to be saved? Pastor John Munro examines what Scripture teaches about the place of these religious observances in the Christian life.

Justification of the Wicked, Pt. 2

When asked if they are going to Heaven, many people say “I hope so” or “I’m trying my best.” But in this episode of THE VERDICT, Pastor John Munro explains why being saved has nothing to do with trying hard or doing your best, and everything to do with God’s grace and His Son, Jesus Christ.
