Avizandum with Pastor John Munro

It's fascinating how God selected the piece of real estate for Israel at the very center of the world. For centuries it has been at the heart of human history. So what does the Bible say about this elusive goal of "peace in the Middle East"?

No Christian minimizes the importance of prayer, yet this is an area where most of us struggle. While an incredible privilege, prayer is also a discipline, so listen as John offers insight and shares a simple guide for prayers.

If asked, we would all likely agree that what is important is not our outward appearance but what is in our hearts. However, John was recently surprised by an objection to his wearing a tie to preach! Why are these personal choices important? (And why does he like wearing ties?)

Disagreements are a part of life. But too often in today's climate, we see arguments escalate with no real effort put into resolving the conflict and preserving the relationship. What guidance does the Bible give us on conflict resolution?

One of the dimensions of being made in the image of God is our ability to reason, though sin has impacted our thinking. Still, followers of Christ are called to be transformed and to have the mind of Christ. But often we allow the viewpoints of the world to shape our perspective.

As we mourn the brutal killings of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk, why is there all this hate? And how are we to respond and function in what seems to be a growing culture of hate?

Much of our Bible reading is often limited to a few verses which are read and discussed without regard to the overall context. But the context is critical to accurate understanding. Join John as he discusses the all-important practice of reading the Bible extensively as well as intensively.

Jesus means Savior and is one of the most beautiful and precious names of the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again. Yet why are people sometimes uncomfortable with referring to Jesus as Lord?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement has been big news, along with Taylor's ring! So why is there always such a fuss about engagement rings? Join John as he thinks back to his own experience with an engagement ring, and what is most important.

Most of us have experienced the death of a loved one and know what it is to grieve. How do we deal with crippling loss? How do we help others who are grieving? And why do followers of Christ approach grief differently?
