In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 21 August 2026, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 10:22-42 and Jesus’ last confrontation with the Jewish leaders before his crucifixion. Mark reminds us that we cannot be on the fence about Jesus: either we believe in him, listen to and follow him, or we harden our hearts and refuse to come to him, like the Jewish leaders. But Jesus is the good shepherd who seeks and saves the lost, and even in the face of strident opposition, he is persistent in reaching out to his lost sheep.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 18 August 2026, Andrew Leslie, Head of the Theology, Philosophy and Ethics Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on 1 Chronicles 16 and the ark of the covenant being brought by King David to its rightful place. Andrew reminds us that the ark of the covenant wasn’t intended to be around forever. Instead, as Paul reminds us, we are arks: we are a letter from Christ, written by the Spirit not on “tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Cor 3:3), and we are always carrying the death of Jesus in our bodies so that his life might be manifested in us (2 Cor 4:10).

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 14 August 2026, Andrew Errington, Rector of Newtown Erskineville Anglican Church, speaks on Jeremiah 45 and God’s word to Baruch, scribe for the prophet Jeremiah. Andrew reminds us that God does not guarantee that his purposes will accommodate our projects and aspirations. No matter our hopes and ambitions for the future, everything can be defeated or ruled out due to circumstances beyond our control. Indeed, sometimes the path of faithfulness might actually be the path of letting go, as Baruch once did.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 11 August 2026, Andrew Leslie, Head of the Theology, Philosophy and Ethics Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Genesis 6-8 and the account of Noah’s ark. Andrew reminds us that this story is really a story about us, the people of God, gathered into the ark of the body of Christ and living out our days, expecting his return. We do not know the day or the hour, and yet we wait with hope, attentiveness and sober-mindedness.
