In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 22 August 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 4:43-54 and Jesus’ healing of the official’s son at Capernaum.

He reminds us that seeing is not believing: witnessing the signs that Jesus did does not necessarily lead to a person having faith in him. Instead, hearing Jesus’ words and trusting in him is what true faith looks like.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 12 August 2025, Tony Payne, Director of the Centre for Christian Living and Lecturer in the Theology, Philosophy and Ethics Department of Moore Theological College, speaks on Philippians 1:1-11 and Paul’s prayer for the Philippians.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 29 July 2025, Simon Gillham, Vice Principal and Head of the Mission Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on John 17:1-26 and Jesus’ prayer the night before he died.

Simon points out that Jesus’ prayer is all about the activity of mission—of sending. Jesus is the one sent from the Father. He then sends his disciples into the world with the expectation that their ministry will be effective—effective enough to reach us. We in turn are also sent to participate in God’s great work of mission.

Dan reminds us that even though the church only grows to maturity thanks to God’s work in us, we still have a role to play. We must use the gifts he has given us for the benefit of others—not just in our local context, but also for the sake of the global church.
