In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 6 June 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 2:23-3:21 and Nicodemus’s visit to Jesus by night.

He reminds us that what Nicodemus needed to hear is also what we need to hear: salvation cannot be achieved by anything we do, it can only be accomplished by what God has done. Furthermore, the God who provides this unlikely gift is a God who loves us so very deeply.

In this episode, from the second part of his plenary address at the 2025 Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 3 February 2025, Paul Grimmond, Head of the Ministry Department at Moore College, continues his exploration of Titus 2 and the commands to older men, older women, younger women and younger men.

Before he discusses the practical outworkings of the chapter, however, Paul answers some common criticisms of these commands, and helps us to think about our attitude or “comportment” to Scripture as we approach this particular passage.

We hope you find the episode helpful.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 30 May 2025, Joel Atwood, missionary in Vanuatu with the Church Missionary Society Australia, speaks on Isaiah 45 and God’s word to the nation of Israel about his anointed one, King Cyrus.

He reminds us that the plans of God are not our plans. When we are tempted to ask, “Why is God doing that?”, we need to remember that he is greater and more wonderful than our crude and limited conceptions of him. We can’t force him or rush him; we can only follow along to his timetable.

In this episode, from the first part of his plenary address at the 2025 Priscilla & Aquila Centre annual conference held on Monday 3 February 2025, Paul Grimmond, Head of the Ministry Department at Moore College, unpacks Titus chapter 2 and the commands given to specific groups of people—older men, older women, younger women, younger men, and so on.

Paul reminds us that the way we read the Bible is often influenced by our personal context and our view of Scripture, and encourages us to think hard and carefully about the parts we hold close, the parts we hold at a distance, and why we are actually doing that.

(Please note: Part 2 of Paul Grimmond’s talk will be published on this podcast in July. If you would like to listen to it before then, head to the Priscilla & Aquila website.)
