Moore in the Word

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 20 February 2026, Paul Grimmond, Vice Principal and Head of the Ministry Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on Acts 2:42-3:10: the beginnings of the early church, and Peter and John healing the lame man at the temple.
Paul considers the question of whether the things that happened during the early days of the church were a one-off, or whether we should expect them to happen today, and points out that these things were both extraordinary and normative.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 17 February 2026, Tony Payne, Director of the Centre for Christian Living, Lecturer in the Theology, Philosophy and Ethics Department at Moore Theological College, and Chairman of the board of Matthias Media, speaks on Acts 1:15-2:13, the appointment of Matthias as the twelfth apostle, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
He reminds us that even though we should rejoice and take confidence in the fact that God is still at work in the world and that he has equipped us for that work of taking the gospel of Jesus to the nations, we must also expect opposition, betrayal and suffering, because such things did not stop with Jesus; we share in them too.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Monday 16 February 2026, Mark Thompson, Principal at Moore Theological College, speaks on Acts 1:1-14 and Jesus’ time with his disciples after his resurrection around his ascension.
He reminds us that Jesus’ work didn’t cease at his resurrection; he is still at work, reigning today. Furthermore, there will come a day when he will return in a way that’s undeniable, visible and compelling, and then, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord.
