In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday, 19 September 2025, Andrew Shead, Head of the Old Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Jeremiah 47:1-7 and 49:23-27, and Jeremiah’s oracles to the nations of Philistia and Damascus.

He reminds us that God takes an interest in all nations, not just that of Old Testament Israel. He has compassion on them, he rejoices in them, and he judges them and brings them to an end according to his divine purposes. However, the horrors of war and death are redeemed through Jesus, who brings resurrection hope to all nations.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, Mark Earngey, Head of the Church History Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Titus 1:5-16 and the Apostle Paul’s instructions about overseers—the necessity of having them, their qualifications, their duties, and the challenges they face as their serve God and his people.

He reminds us that evangelism is just the beginning: churches need leadership who are able to deal with disorder and protect the flock from things that threaten to destroy it. This makes the office of overseer an essential ministry in the purposes of God.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday, 29 August 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 5:1-18 and Jesus’ healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda.

He reminds us that, like that man, we can hold so tightly to lies that we have believed for so long that we miss the grace of Jesus. Like the Jewish religious leaders, it is all too easy for us to become imprisoned in a cage of our own making so that we fail to see that Jesus is God, at work in the world.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 26 August 2025, Mark Earngey, Head of the Church History Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Titus 1:1-4 and the beginning of Paul’s letter to Titus.

He encourages us to be slaves for the truth of salvation now, and slaves for the truth of salvation to come—particularly in declaring God’s gospel to the world—for this is our highest calling.

Please note: around 13 minutes in when Mark is talking about truth and laughter erupts around the room, it’s because he’s holding up Lionel Windsor’s book, Truth Be Told.
