    Living water (John 7:14-53) with Mark Thompson

    In this episode, from a Final Friday chapel service held on Friday 21 November 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 7:14-53 and Jesus’ invitation to come to him at the Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem. Mark reminds us that the only true source of living water is Jesus, who echoes the promises of God in his proclamation. When we respond and turn to him, we experience a radical reorienting of life, health and hope as the Spirit transforms us by uniting us to him.

    The Rev John Newton: Mastermind and mentor of early Australian Anglicanism with Michael Gladwin

    In this episode and in honour of Moore Theological College’s 170th anniversary, we bring you a second special episode taken from the 2025 Donald Robinson Library lectures on the topic of “The Clapham Sect and their influence on Sydney”. Michael Gladwin, Lecturer in History at St Mark's National Theological Centre in the School of Theology at Charles Sturt University, examines the role of John Newton. Newton was the author of the hymn “Amazing Grace” and former slave trader turned pastor, and he served as both architect and encourager of the first Anglican mission in Australia. Through Newton’s correspondence and networks, Michael shows how Newton’s theological depth, pastoral wisdom, and missionary foresight influenced the birth of evangelical Anglicanism in the Southern Hemisphere. Please note: This episode is a companion to last week’s episode, in which Mark Thompson tells the story of how Richard Johnson became the first chaplain to the colony in New South Wales and shaped gospel ministry in early Australia. If you missed that one, I encourage you to go back and listen. For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website. There, you can also make a donation to support the work of the College.

    Unbelief (John 7:1-13) with Mark Thompson

    In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 7 November 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 7:1-13 and the unbelief of Jesus’ brothers, the world and the crowd. Mark reminds us not to be unsurprised by unbelief. Unbelief comes from the thinking of the world and the challenge of the way Jesus lived, and it can be anchored in and fed by fear. But Jesus is not fazed by unbelief in all its forms. Furthermore, unbelief never has the final word; Jesus does. For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

    What’s your 30 pieces of silver? (John 12:4-11) with Philip Kern

    In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 4 November 2025, Philip Kern, Head of the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on John 12:4-11: Judas’ reaction to Mary’s gift of nard to anoint Jesus, and the Jews’ reaction to Lazarus’ resurrection. Philip reminds us that if you choose Jesus, it will cost you everything. But if you choose against Jesus, that too will cost you everything. Our sins reveal what our hearts truly value—and whether we truly value Jesus. For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

  6. Pragmatism in mission with David Williams

    Pragmatism in mission with David Williams

    In this episode, from an event hosted by the Centre for Global Mission on Wednesday 23 July 2025, David Williams, Director of Training and Development at CMS Australia, attempts to answer the question, “Is it more strategic to focus mission and ministry resources into receptive contexts and people groups, rather than into unreceptive contexts?” David explains some of the thinking behind the theory of the homogeneous unit principle of church growth and other pragmatic approaches to mission, but takes care to point out that typically, significant gospel advance happens over long periods of time and involves generations of gospel workers—the fruit of whose labour is often not seen until much, much later. Please note: Richard Chin’s talk from this event was featured on the Moore in the Word Podcast last week. Although it’s not essential, you might want to go back and listen to it before you listen to this episode. Watch both talks and the Q&A from the event.

    Jesus’ hardest words (John 6:22-71) with Mark Thompson

    In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 31 October 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 6:22-71 and three conversations that Jesus has with the crowd, with the Jews in the synagogue at Capernaum, and with his disciples. Mark points out that life is a gift. You cannot have life without Jesus. However, you cannot have Jesus unless the Father chooses you and gives you to him. Mark reminds us that even though the Bible’s teaching on election is offensive to some, it is of monumental comfort to us. For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.
