Each week, Chapel gives our MST and Eastern community a precious opportunity to pause from the rhythms of study and work, to worship together, hear from God’s Word, pray for one another and share in fellowship.

This morning, Dr Mark Durie reflected on Psalm 84, a psalm of pilgrimage for those who long for the presence of God. We were reminded that the journey is not always easy. At times, we may feel spiritually weary, as though we are walking through a dry and difficult place but we do not have to continue in our own strength.

As we set our hearts on God, lean into Him and keep moving forward, He meets us with refreshment and leads us from strength to strength.
“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” — Psalm 84:5

We’re grateful for these weekly moments of worship, prayer and fellowship that continue to form and strengthen us as a community. 🙏

🌏 “We are living through one of the biggest shifts in Christian history.”

The centre of global Christianity has shifted. So what does this mean for the way we think about theology, mission and church leadership today?

Hear from Dr Jonathan D. James, keynote speaker for the Leonard Buck Lecture 2026, as he explores the theme 'The Asianisation of Christianity: New Models for Mission.'

The evening will also include a response from Dr Crystal Hong (MST-C) from a Chinese Christian perspective, followed by a live Q&A with both speakers.

This morning at Chapel, our community gathered for such a special time of worship, fellowship and morning tea.

We were honoured to welcome Petr Jašek from The Voice of the Martyrs as our guest speaker. His powerful message was both challenging and deeply inspiring, encouraging us to remember those who are persecuted for their faith and to use our own voices to stand with others.

“We can be the voice of the voiceless people.”

We are very grateful to Petr for sharing his remarkable story and message with our community

This morning, we were privileged to hear from Dr Daniel D. Lee as he explored the theme, “Family as Calling and Context for Formation”.

It was an enriching session on the intersection of ministry, family and spiritual formation, reminding us that leadership is not simply about balancing competing priorities.

It is about allowing God to shape both our public ministry and our private relationships as part of one unified calling.

Thank you, Dr Lee, for sharing your wisdom with our community.

If you've ever felt depressed or overwhelmed about the state of the world, this workshop is for you.

Our friends at .mst are running a workshop this weekend about eco-anxiety, how technology has helped it spread, and how Christian contemplative tradition can help us live with hope.

Dr Andrew Shepherd is flying in from New Zealand to talk. He's been researching how technology and social media have amplified the spread of eco-anxiety, has a keen interest on how young people can overcome the doom and gloom modern technology brings using techniques from the Bible.

This is going to be a hybrid workshop, which means you can tune in online if you can't make it in person!

What place does prayer have in the busyness of everyday life?

In his latest Chapel message, “Prayer: No Longer a Footnote,” our Acting Co-Executive Principal, Andrew Pham, reflects on Jesus’ teaching in Luke 11:5–13.

Andrew encourages us to approach God with boldness, pray with persistence and trust in His goodness, even when the answer is unclear or seems slow to come.

“Whatever is on your heart, keep praying. Pray persistently and audaciously, knowing that God is good and that He loves you deeply.”

May prayer become more than an afterthought. May it be at the heart of how we live, learn and follow Jesus.
