The Verdict with Pastor John Munro Podcast

AVIZANDUM: The Challenge of Leadership

All of us would agree that leadership is vital. But many leaders today seem more concerned about holding onto power. Join John as he shares from Henry Kissinger's final book and reflects on leadership in life and in the church.

Loving Your Enemies, Pt. 1

Do you pray for your enemies? Do you love those who only hate in return? That’s not easy. In fact, in this age of anger and division, is it even possible at all? On this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro takes a fresh look at this very radical and convicting command from Jesus about showing mercy and love.

Purity and Honesty, Pt. 2

 Have you noticed how people encourage “speaking your truth” and following your desires, wherever they lead?  But this way of living has dire consequences. On this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro returns to the teaching of Jesus on sexual purity and telling the truth.

Purity and Honesty, Pt. 1

In today’s world, biblical teaching on purity and absolute truth is often pushed aside. On this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro helps us to realize afresh just how relevant the teaching of Jesus is—not only for the health of our relationships with others, but for our relationship with God.

The Heart of the Law, Pt. 2

Today we sometimes hear questions about whether Old Testament Scripture is still relevant, and whether Christ-followers are still subject to the Mosaic Law and the Ten Commandments. In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro turns to the teaching of Jesus to deal with these important questions on The Heart of the Law.

The Heart of the Law, Pt. 1

Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized that He did not come to abolish  the Law but to fulfill the Law. So are followers of Christ still under the Mosaic Law, including the Ten Commandments? In this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro deals with this fascinating question of The Heart of the Law and why Jesus came.

Salt and Light, Pt. 2

What does it mean for followers of Christ to be in the world, but not of the world?  Jesus calls us to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God. On this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro explores how to obey our Lord Jesus and live as Salt and Light in a dark and fallen world.

Salt and Light, Pt. 1

On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro focuses on the teaching of Jesus when He calls His followers the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.” It might be tempting to construct our own Christian bubble, or easier to blend into the culture. But neither is the teaching of Jesus. What should we do?

Receive the Blessing, Pt. 2

Even after you get that raise, or buy that new car, or reach that goal, do you still want more? In this episode of The Verdict Pastor John Munro explores what it means to hunger and thirst after righteousness and pursue the blessings of God for fulfillment that never ends.
