In this episode, from the second plenary address presented at the Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 2 February 2026, Simon Flinders, Archdeacon to the Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, speaks on the topic of “Church as family: The apostles’ invitation to live as siblings”.

In a world where church can easily be seen as an event or institution, the New Testament presents something far richer. The church is not like a family, it is family. Drawing on the language of adoption and new birth, Simon explores the depth of our shared identity in Christ, and the practical implications for how we love, serve and care for one another as brothers and sisters in God’s household.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, Philip Kern, Head of the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Galatians 1 and Paul’s plea to the Galatians not to turn away from the gospel.

Philip reminds us that freedom is never absolute: we are freed from something for something—that is, life in the Spirit and the risen Son. For Christians, our existence is now defined by the cross, the Spirit and freedom. But the world, the flesh and slavery threaten to pull us back again. Do we really believe that Jesus has defeated death?

In this episode, from the first plenary address presented at the Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 2 February 2026, Simon Flinders, Archdeacon to the Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, speaks on the topic of “Discipleship as new love: Jesus’ invitation to radically rethink ‘family’”.

In a culture that elevates family as the ultimate source of identity and fulfilment, Jesus offers a radically different vision: he shows us what it means that his Father is also our Father. Furthermore, discipleship to Christ reorders our deepest loves and loyalties, for belonging to God’s family is not secondary, but central to the gospel: it’s a gift that reshapes every other relationship.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 14 April 2026, Philip Kern, Head of the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Acts 10:1-22: Cornelius’ vision at Caesarea and Peter’s vision at Joppa.

Philip reminds us that, even though it might look inefficient to us, God is in the business of sending people to proclaim the gospel, for sending precedes hearing and hearing precedes believing. Furthermore, God’s sovereign hand defines the church and includes even those we would think are unlikely, because Jesus is Lord of all, not Lord of some.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 10 March 2026, Lionel Windsor, Lecturer in the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Acts 7:1-19 and the first part of Stephen’s speech before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council.

Lionel reminds us of Graeme Goldsworthy’s framework for understanding the Bible—God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule—and shows us how much of the Old Testament is not about that happening. But he encourages us to remember our proper place in Christ, for when you know your place, you can make sense of all the other places.
