Moore in the Word

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.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 28 October 2025, Philip Kern, Head of the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on John 12:1-3 and Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with perfume.
He reminds us that this story takes place just after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and that Mary’s act reflects her gratitude and her desire to honour the life-giver. Philip then challenges us to consider what it has cost us to honour Jesus.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 24 October 2025, Roger Burgess, staffworker at EV Church Erina, speaks on Psalms 31 to 33 and the call, cause and climax of joy.
He reminds us that it is fitting for God’s people to shout for joy, that creation and redemption give us great cause for joy, and that the pinnacle of joy is God himself.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, Tom Habib, Lecturer in the New Testament Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Genesis 32 and Jacob’s return to the Promised Land, where he fears the coming of Esau, splits his camp in two and wrestles with God.
Tom reminds us that when we are tempted to fall back on relying on our own strength, rather than on God’s, we should remember Jacob’s story and how God unmade him and stripped him bare, before remaking him again through his divine grace.
