In Mark 11:23 Jesus promises his followers they can move mountains if they have faith in God. But have any of us ever done this? If not, do we lack faith? Or, if it is just hyperbole, what actual help are Jesus’ words in knowing what we can and should pray for? And what has any of this got to do with what is going on with Jesus and the Temple in Mark 11? In this episode, Carey’s New Testament Lecturer, Jonathan Robinson, shares some of his research on how this verse has been interpreted, and presents his own interpretation at the Carey College centenary celebrations.

If God has helped us thus far, we can trust him to help us again. At the Carey Centenary celebrations, Grace Chamberlain reminds of the importance of remembering God's faithfulness and finding renewed confidence in his goodness and provision.

Is God really present today? Speaking at the Carey Centenary celebrations, Julie Chamberlain unpacks Acts 17:15-32 and invites us to discover how God's presence can be seen, known, and experienced.

2 Kings 5 reminds us that God is not absent in our struggles and that His grace often meets us in unexpected places. Through Naaman's humility and Elisha's faith, we discover a God who brings hope beyond human strength.

What begins with the simple offering of a meal in the story of Elisha and the Shunammite woman ends in a powerful display of God's resurrection power.

The journey of Elijah and Elisha reminds us that even when faith feels circular or grief lies ahead, God's Spirit is with us, guiding us forward as beloved children and heirs of His promises.

Ahab tried to shape his future and preserve his legacy, but God had the final word. 1 Kings 22 reveals the unmatched authority and sovereignty of God.

1 Kings 21 exposes the danger of unchecked desire. When what we want matters more than the people God has entrusted to us, injustice takes root. Naboth's vineyard becomes a sobering picture of judgment, but Jesus offers a different way: the path from death to life.

God graciously gave Ahab the victory, yet Ahab treated God's gift as his own. Are we any different? What blessings, opportunities, relationships, or abilities has God graciously given that you've quietly claimed as your own?

Baptist ecclesiology fosters agency because it is grounded in covenant participation. The triune God invites persons into covenant relationship with God and one another, reflecting an agency-affirming vision of divine–human communion. Baptism embodies this invitation as the believer’s voluntary “yes” to God and the covenant community. Yet agency extends beyond baptism into shared discernment, mutual accountability, and covenant renewal at the Lord’s Supper. While rooted in Scripture, this vision resonates with social-scientific insights about human flourishing. Science-engaged theology—especially Basic Psychological Needs Theory—offers a lens for evaluating whether Baptist communal practices truly reflect the conviction that God desires the flourishing of our gathered communities.
