Avizandum with Pastor John Munro

New Year's Eve

No matter where you live, New Year's Eve is a time of celebration and festivities. Join John as he remembers some interesting New Year's traditions and shares thoughts on how all of us can approach 2025.

A Horrible Christmas

Christmas is supposed to be a time of celebration, a time of joy. But did you ever have a Christmas where everything went wrong? Join John for the story of one exceptional Christmas, and what we can all take away!

Buildings and More Buildings

As Calvary prepares to dedicate a new building expansion on December 22, John reflects on the role of new buildings and facilities within the church, some of the key considerations, and brings a challenge as to our ultimate focus.

Let There Be Light

The Christmas season is a time of light. We see lights on Christmas trees, homes, and yards. Even a little light dispels the darkness. Join John and explore this beautiful idea of light as we celebrate the coming of the Light of the world.

The Generosity of Grace

Of all people on the face of the earth, followers of Jesus Christ should be the most thankful. And because we have received the generosity of God's grace, we should be generous. So what does this mean in practice?

Giving Thanks is Not Always Easy

It may seem easy to give thanks to God, and sometimes it is. But what about when life is difficult? Is your life characterized by a thankful spirit? Why is this important?

The Problem of Little Kingdoms

In churches and in life, there is often the desire to want to do our own thing, to rule our own little kingdom, without interference. Where does this impulse come from, and how can it impact our relationships and ministry?

The Election is Over

The presidential election is finally over. With its conclusion, we find ourselves in a time of transition that may seem strange after the constant media focus. What are some takeaways for followers of Christ as we go forward?

Christian Schools

What is the role of Christian schools in our ever-changing culture? How should Christians view Christian education in light of the call to be salt and light? Join John for a frank discussion of the current issues and biblical foundation.

How Will You Vote?

Next Tuesday is Election Day. Millions are voting in local, state and national elections, and the presidential race is the undeniable focus of our sharply divided nation. How should followers of Jesus Christ approach this important privilege of voting?
