In Revelation 5, John sees a sealed scroll in the hand of God, and he weeps because no one is found worthy to open it. But heaven answers his tears with the vision of Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain. In this sermon, Mike Neglia shows how Revelation 5 reveals Jesus as the worthy Redeemer who takes history into His hands, judges evil, redeems His people, and receives the w...

In this message from Revelation 4, Victor Sabbe reminds us that before John sees the chaos unfolding on earth, he first sees the throne of heaven - and the God who still reigns over all things. In a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and pressure, worship restores our perspective and reminds us that Jesus is worthy and God is still on the throne. Part of our ongoing Revelation series at Calvary...

In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the churches in Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. One church looked alive but was spiritually dead. One was weak but faithful. One believed it needed nothing, yet Jesus exposed its true condition. In each case, Jesus lovingly tells His people the truth about themselves so that they can wake up, hold fast, repent, and return to Him. This sermon from Mike Neglia is...

In this sermon from 2 Kings 5, Garrett O’Regan, one of the leaders at Door of Hope New Testament Church in Limerick, walks through the story of Naaman, a powerful and respected commander who had a need he could not solve. Naaman’s cleansing shows us that God’s grace cannot be bought, earned, controlled, or managed. From the witness of the captive servant girl to Naaman’s humbling at the Jordan, th...

In this conversation, Mike Neglia talks with Annelise Sabbe about her remarkable project of memorising the first fourteen chapters (so far!) of the Book of Revelation. Annelise shares what first motivated her to begin committing Revelation to memory, how the process shaped her over time, and what spiritual benefits she has experienced through sustained meditation on Scripture. Rather than treating...

In this episode, we’re revisiting a conversation from 2023, where I joined Nick Cady on the Theology for the People podcast to explore Revelation chapters 2 and 3. In these letters, Jesus speaks directly to seven real churches, addressing their strengths, confronting their weaknesses, and calling them to faithfulness. These aren’t just ancient messages, they are words for the church today. We talk...

In Revelation 2, Jesus speaks directly to four real churches - and through them, He speaks to us. These are not abstract messages or historical curiosities, but searching words from the risen Christ who walks among His people, knows their condition, and calls them to respond. In this message, we explore what Revelation 2 reveals about Jesus: His presence with His church, His authority over life an...

The Book of Revelation is often misunderstood. Many people approach it as a mysterious puzzle about the end of the world. But at its heart, Revelation is a book that reveals Jesus Christ. In this episode of the Calvary Cork Podcast, Mike Neglia speaks with Shane Angland, former elder at Calvary Cork and now teaching elder at Ennis Evangelical Church, about his midweek Bible study through the Book...

The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible. Many people associate it with beasts, judgement, and the end of the world. But the book does not begin with fear. It begins with a vision of Jesus Christ . In this message from Revelation chapter 1 , we see who Jesus truly is: the faithful witness, the risen conqueror of death, the ruler of the kings of the earth, and the...

In this solo episode, Mike Neglia shares the story behind Calvary Cork’s upcoming teaching series through the book of Revelation. Many Christians feel unsure about Revelation. Some avoid it because of the strange imagery and symbolism. Others associate it with fear, speculation, or complicated end-times charts. But Revelation was not given to confuse the church or frighten believers. It was given...

In John 9, Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth. But this miracle is not only about restoring physical sight. It becomes a powerful revelation of who Jesus truly is. As the story unfolds, we see a striking contrast between the man whose eyes are opened and the religious leaders who remain spiritually blind. Through this encounter, Jesus reveals Himself as the One who brings light into d...

The Greatest Heist in History: How Jesus Robbed DeathEaster Sermon | Revelation 1:17–18On Easter Sunday we looked at Revelation 1:17–18, where the risen Jesus appears to the apostle John and speaks two powerful words: “Fear not.”In this message we explore how the resurrection of Jesus Christ completely changes the way we face fear, death, and the future. The Bible teaches that the resurrection was...

After six weeks of Sunday mornings in the book of Jonah at Calvary Cork, Mike sits down with Stephen Lane to reflect on what stood out most from this surprising and deeply searching little book. Together they discuss why Jonah is far more than a story about a fish, and why the real miracle of the book is the mercy of God. They reflect on Jonah’s resistance to grace, his struggle with God’s compass...

In Jonah 4:5-11 , the prophet who preached repentance to Nineveh is confronted by God about the condition of his own heart. Through the vine, the worm, and the scorching wind, the Lord exposes Jonah’s small, comfort-centred heart and reveals the surprising breadth of His compassion. This message explores how God rescues His servants and renovates our hearts through what He gives and what He takes...

In Jonah 4:1-4, Nineveh repents, God relents, and Jonah is furious. This sermon explores what happens when God’s mercy reaches the people we would rather keep at a distance. Jonah knew the truth about God, but resented the way God applied that truth. This passage exposes the danger of receiving grace ourselves while resisting it for others, and it points us to Jesus, the greater Jonah, who moved t...

Jonah 3 | The God of Second Chances In Jonah chapter 3 we witness one of the most surprising moments in the Bible: an entire city turning to God in repentance. The great Assyrian capital of Nineveh—known for violence, power, and idolatry—hears a short warning from a reluctant prophet, and the people respond with humility and repentance. What does this passage teach us about God? It reveals a power...

In this live Q&A,  Mike Neglia  answers anonymous written questions from teenage campers at a recent  C.E.F. Summer Camp . With a mix of pastoral warmth and theological clarity, he talks about Jesus’ emotions, mourning our own sin and the world’s brokenness without spiraling into despair, and how to hear from God through Scripture, prayer, and wise Christians. Mike tackles hard topics like abu...

What do you pray when you hit rock bottom? In Jonah 2:1-10 , the prophet Jonah finds himself at the lowest point imaginable. After running from God and fleeing his calling, he is thrown into the sea and swallowed by a great fish. From the depths of the ocean Jonah prays a remarkable prayer that reveals the mercy and saving power of God. In this Bible teaching message from Calvary Cork , we explore...

In this Leaders’ Corner devotional, Rachel helps us to reflect on how God delights in lives lived as a fragrant offering to Him. Drawing on Scripture and everyday beauty, this short message points us to Christ, whose sacrifice makes our imperfect obedience pleasing and accepted by God.

What happens when you know what God is asking of you, but still choose to run? In Jonah 1:4–17 , we encounter a reluctant prophet, a violent storm, and a God who refuses to be ignored. Jonah runs from God, falls asleep while danger surrounds him, and resists prayer even as chaos grows. Yet through that same storm, God awakens unexpected faith in others and continues His pursuit of the one who is r...

When God speaks clearly, why do we so often resist? In Jonah 1:1–3, God calls His prophet to go, and Jonah does the unthinkable - he runs in the opposite direction. This opening message in our Lenten series through Jonah explores why even Bible-knowing, church-going people can resist God’s will when obedience feels costly, uncomfortable, or threatening to our sense of justice and control. As we be...
