The Verdict with Pastor John Munro Podcast

A Guilty Verdict, Pt. 2

Some people might argue that people are inherently good and that it’s really our environment or our circumstances that cause our problems. But Pastor John Munro explains that the real problem goes much deeper. All of us are flawed—we’re guilty of sin. Yet, through God’s grace, there is hope!

A Guilty Verdict, Pt. 1

When we face problems in life, our first instinct is usually to find someone or something to blame. But Pastor John Munro explains that our deepest problem has nothing to do with our family, our circumstances, or the world around us—our greatest problem is the nature of our own hearts.

Final Arguments, Pt. 2

Some people make the choice to live however they want. They believe that the judgment of God doesn’t apply to them. They pretend they are somehow exempt from the consequences of their choices. In this episode of THE VERDICT, Pastor John Munro examines the case against these claims, as presented by Paul in the book of Romans.

Final Arguments, Pt. 1

In our study of Romans, we’ve read that without Christ, no one can escape God’s judgment. But are there really no exceptions? Is there no good person, no good deed that can earn God’s favor? Pastor John Munro addresses these questions as we explore the Final Arguments of Paul in Romans chapter 3.

Profession But Not Possession, Pt. 2

Profession But Not Possession, Pt. 1

In today’s world, image is a top priority. Celebrities, influencers, and politicians go to great lengths to project a certain image and hide their flaws. On this episode of THE VERDICT, Pastor John Munro challenges us to be less concerned with externals and what other people think, and to focus instead on the condition of our hearts.

Principles of Divine Judgment, Pt. 2

Scripture teaches that all of us are guilty of sin. And regardless of circumstances or intentions, not one of us can escape God’s perfect judgment. But the Bible also explains that God has made a way for us to be reconciled to Him. In this episode, Pastor John Munro discusses how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the divine solution to the problem of sin.

Principles of Divine Judgment, Pt. 1

Everyone is supposed to be equal under the law.  But the reality is that human justice is often less than perfect. In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro helps us look beyond this fallen world, and reflect on the perfect and impartial justice of God.

Judging and Being Judged, Pt. 2

You may think you’re a good person -- most people do. But what does God think? In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro shows how the book of Romans challenges each of us to avoid self-righteous hypocrisy as we are reminded of God’s perfect judgment and His marvelous grace.
