Avizandum with Pastor John Munro

Christianity without Christ

During Easter we focus on the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the central event of the Christian faith. Yet, it is surprising how many people say they are Christians, but don't mention Jesus.

Be Respectful!

Being respectful is a very biblical concept: "Honor everyone" (1 Peter 2:17). Can you imagine the difference it would make in our society if we all respected one another? Join John as he reflects and shares a powerful example.

Sowing Seed

When the Word of God is shared, we often don't know the result! But we can rest assured that God's purposes will always be accomplished, as evidenced in John's own family.

Living at Peace

In our broken world, many people are living in personal turmoil. Even followers of Jesus Christ who have peace with God may not be experiencing the peace of God in life. What's the answer?

Songs, Hymns, and Personal Worship

Isn't it true that meaningful spiritual songs can stick with us? The Holy Spirit often uses these words and melodies to reinforce in our hearts powerful spiritual truths. Join John as he reflects on some of his favorite hymns and songs, and consider how the Lord has used music in your life and worship.

The World of Missions

Does missions seem like an old-fashioned concept? In light of Calvary's upcoming annual Missions Conference, John discusses why Calvary's approach is more than heritage or tradition: it is an intentional time of celebration and challenge.

Valentine's Day

In honor of Valentine's Day, John considers whether he is a romantic! But aside from the cards and flowers, Scripture makes it clear that those following Christ should specialize in love.

Read a Good Book?

With so many options for information and entertainment, reading books is becoming a lost art. Join John as he shares thoughts and reflects on the impact of reading on life and ministry.

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.

The Foolishness of Preaching

Have you ever wondered why there is such a thing as preaching? Join John as he reflects on a subject very close to his heart, and returns to Scripture to explain why the Word of God is preached.
