What must you do in order to be saved?
For first-century Christians, as with Christians now, the answer is the same: trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, his death on the cross and his resurrection.
But first-century Christians also had to contend with Jewish Christians saying that in order to be saved, you must first be circumcised and follow the law.
This year's Moore College Annual Lecturers were delivered by Dr Tom Schreiner, Associate Dean for the School of Theology and the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Professor of Biblical Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky, USA.
The lectures were on the theme of “The battle for the truth of the gospel” with relation to the Book of Galatians.
In this first lecture, delivered on Monday 5 August 2024, Tom focuses on “Circumcision and the cross”, and shows how the new age ushered in with Christ's death changes everything.
The lecture is followed by a Q&A session.

In the last episode of the Moore College podcast on Genesis chapter 3, Mark Thompson outlined the Bible’s diagnosis of the very human problem of sin.
In Genesis chapter 4, the deep consequences of humanity’s sin are in full view, with the first-ever murder and the stories of Cain, Lamech and Seth.
In this episode of the Moore College podcast, in a chapel service held on Friday 30 August 2024, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, draws out significant lessons about hope, life and faith, and how the decision to turn aside from God’s word has terrible repercussions for those who fail to trust God.
Mark continues his series in the Book of Genesis and reminds us that the only remedy for extravagant evil is be extravagant grace—the grace found at the cross of Christ.
We hope you find the episode helpful.

There is a problem with our world.
It's a problem that lies deep within us—a problem that strikes at the heart of who we are.
It's a problem that causes turbulence, fear, conflict, competition, exploitation, abuse and rejection of God.
It's our problem, and it's one for which we badly need a solution.
In this episode of the Moore College podcast, in a chapel service held on Friday 23 August 2024, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, talks about how we got to this point, what went wrong, and how we get ourselves out of it.
Mark continues his series in the Book of Genesis with Genesis chapter 3 and the Bible's diagnosis of our problem. He reminds us that getting the diagnosis right is always crucial when seeking a remedy, and that we need to understand Genesis 3 not only in order to understand ourselves, but also in order to understand the true depths of the gospel.

What has happened to Jesus’ mission?
We live in an age when many do not know Jesus, nor do they wish to know him.
Indeed, according to the last census in 2021, around 40 per cent of all Australians indicated that they had “no religion”.
But after Jesus was resurrected, John reports in his Gospel that Jesus appeared to his disciples in a locked room and said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
The mission of Jesus is not done yet. Furthermore, we all have a part to play in it.
In this episode of the Moore College podcast, in a chapel service held on Friday 16 August 2024, Kanishka Raffel, Archbishop of the Sydney Anglican Diocese, speaks about Jesus’ mission—our mission—from John chapter 20 verses 19-23.
He outlines the work of Jesus’ mission that has been handed down to us and outlines four unique and universal gifts that Jesus has provided us to help us in this work.

Have you ever been a member of a church community, but feel like you don't really belong?
Perhaps you feel like you have no one to talk to during the morning tea or supper after the service.
Perhaps the other members are always doing social things together that don't include you.
Or perhaps you just feel like your presence there doesn't really matter, and if you didn't come to church, no one would really notice.
In this episode of the Moore College podcast in a chapel service held on Tuesday 13 August 2024, Chase Kuhn, rector of St Matthias Church in Centennial Park in Sydney and former Moore College lecturer in Christian Ethics, explores what 1 John 4 has to say about love—and therefore Christian community.
He challenges us to reconsider the foundation of what Christian community is all about, and reminds us that it's the gospel, not ourselves or our relationships with our fellow Christians, that provides us with a more secure sense of belonging.

Speaker: David Hastie BA (Hons), PhD
From the earliest days of the British Colony, Anglicans have been central to Australian schooling. Throughout the often bitter arguments leading up to the Public Instruction Acts of the 1880s, Sydney Anglicans have provided two fundamental pillars in education: a direct role in the founding and continuance of Public schooling; and the much smaller denominational private schooling sector. In the last 40 years, however, these long established roles have radically shifted. Anglicans now experience an increasingly troubled relationship with public schooling, but have seen an expansion in the private schooling sector. What role the Anglican church plays in education and society moving forward, remains underexplained, in contrast to the huge influence of it.

What: Biblical Languages in the Early Modern Period
The early modern period was a time of significant scholarship in the field of biblical languages. These studies were greatly enabled by the exciting new technology of the printing press. Numerous key editions of the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament were published by major printing houses, as well as polyglot Bibles which allowed for linguistic comparison. This seminar will provide an overview of the place of early modern manuscripts in education, the development of versification, and will examine several of the early works currently on display in the Library (lower ground floor).

In a world where people are scrambling to create and maintain their own sense of identity and purpose, we are born again into a living hope and declared by God to be his precious people.
"For to us a child is born...and he shall be called, wonderful counsellor, mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace". What do these four titles mean for the Son and for us?
"You will not find a prophetic oracle anywhere else in Scripture that condemns a king more harshly than this one."
What marks us out as Christians is our love. That's the badge of authentic Christian discipleship.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, we get a penetrating insight into who Jesus is and what he came to do. We get to see the real humanity of Jesus and the glory of his divinity.
Jesus challenges us not to keep our hope to ourselves, but to be pasionate in offering it to those around us.
