Avizandum with Pastor John Munro

A Golden Anniversary

This month John and Gudny are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Join John as he shares special memories from that momentous day in the Faroe Islands, how they chose to celebrate, and takeaways from their adventure of faith.

Leadership

Everyone seems to agree that leadership is critical, but real leaders are in short supply. People love so-called charismatic leaders, but these individuals are often more concerned with self-promotion. So what are some biblical lessons about leadership that we can learn and apply?

The Storms of Grace

Both John and Gudny grew up near the sea, and still love spending time at the seashore. John, in particular, loves to watch the relentless waves. Discover why he finds this such a powerful picture of the matchless grace of God.

Too Many Bible Studies

Can you study the Bible too much? You might think this is a trick question! But more important than the amount of study is the difference that God's Word makes in your life.

Good Manners

Have you noticed that good manners seem to be in decline? People are less mindful of their behavior and impact on others, and the church is not exempt.

Hating the Jews

Antisemitism has a long history, and the current conflict in Gaza has demonstrated that it continues in many places throughout the world. Why is this hatred so persistent?

Let Freedom Ring

On July 4, we celebrate Independence Day and the privilege to live in a free country. Join John as he remembers becoming a US citizen, and reflects on the human desire to be free.

Take a Break

During summer we often have opportunities for time away from the usual routine. Did you know that taking a break is biblical? Join John as he discusses God's marvelous gift of rest.

"Write Them on the Doorposts of Your House"

Having verses of Scripture displayed in the home was once a common practice. John shares about the two texts displayed in his study, and why intentional reminders of Scripture can be so helpful.

Burial or Cremation?

Is there anything wrong with a Christian being cremated? John deals with this very personal issue and common question raised by many families by offering biblical background and personal thoughts.
