Some genuinely helpful preaching insights here from Morling Principal Tim MacBride 👏
If you preach, teach, or lead a Bible study, these 5 tips are well worth a swipe through. Save it for later or share it with someone who’d appreciate it.

We loved being represented at the CSA National Policy Forum in Canberra this week.
Our Postgraduate Student Support & Education Administrator, Lyndel Chardon, and Dean of Education, Melissa Brown, joined Christian educators from across Australia to focus on the flourishing of Christian schools.
As Melissa shared, it is deeply encouraging to see Christian educators gathered with one purpose to grow well equipped teachers and support Christian schooling.

Last week Morling College hosted the 27th Tinsley Annual Lecture with Rev Dr Michael Jensen, reflecting on Christian faithfulness in a deeply polarised world.
His lecture has now been adapted into an ABC Religion & Ethics article, “Experiments in hope: What can the Christian church offer in these polarised times?”
It is a thoughtful read for anyone wondering what the church can offer to our fractured public life.

Short, focused, and designed for real ministry contexts Morling’s Winter Intensives are running again in 2026. ❄️
This year you can join units such as Preaching 1, the Morling Preaching Conference, Christian Apologetics, and Pastoring in the 21st Century, with options to attend on campus (Perth, Sydney, Brisbane) or via livestream. They’re a great way to deepen skills and refresh your practice without committing to a full semester load.

Morling's Preaching Conference is returning this July, and we'd love for you to be part of it.
This year we're diving into the book of Hebrews, exploring how a first-century sermon speaks into the life of today's church.
Open to pastors, preachers, ministry leaders, students, and anyone with a heart for growing in biblical preaching. Attend in person at our Sydney campus or join us online via Zoom.
Group bookings are also available for teams of 4 or more. 👋

Meet Ian Batey. 👋

He spent years in pastoral ministry, caring for people through their hardest moments. But he felt something was missing.

Ian enrolled in the Master of Counselling at Morling College and it changed everything.

"Morling has taught me to see the people in front of me the way God sees them, made in his image, and to value them for whoever they are."

This year, Ian is completing his practicum, stepping into real, hands-on counselling and walking alongside people through some of life's most complex seasons.

What started as a gap is becoming a calling. 🙏

Could this be your story too?

Just 3 days until the 27th Annual Tinsley Lecture! 🗓️
If you've been meaning to register, now is a great time.
On 21 May, Rev Dr Michael Jensen will deliver a timely and thought-provoking lecture: "Subjects and Citizens: What Christianity Offers a Fractured Public Square."
What does it look like to live as citizens of God's kingdom in a world of division and mistrust? It's a question worth exploring together.
Join us in person at Morling College or tune in via livestream. The lecture is free and open to all. 🌏
