God Meets Us in Our Grief - Peter Kenny
6d ago00:40:48Tap to summarizeIn this sermon from 1 Samuel 1, Peter Kenny, pastor of Cork Baptist Church, considers the story of Hannah and the deep grief she carried before the Lord.Hannah’s sorrow was not shallow or easily solved. Her pain was intensified by disappointment, family brokenness, hurtful words, and the mystery of God’s providence. Yet in her distress, Hannah turned toward God rather than away from Him. She poured out her soul before the Lord, and before her circumstances changed, she received real peace.This message is an invitation to bring our grief honestly to God. The story of Hannah reminds us that God’s people can suffer deeply, that honest prayer is welcomed by the Lord, and that His peace can meet us even in the valley.Passage: 1 Samuel 1Speaker: Peter Kenny, Pastor of Cork Baptist ChurchRecorded at Calvary Cork

Weep No More: Worthy Is the Lamb | Revelation 5
2w ago00:41:56Tap to summarizeIn 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 worship of all creation. Because the slain Lamb is worthy, we can grieve what is broken, trust Him with history, and join heaven’s worship.This message is part of Calvary Cork’s ongoing verse-by-verse study through the book of Revelation.

Jesus Tells the Truth About Dead, Weak, and Lukewarm Churches | Revelation 3
4w ago00:51:21Tap to summarizeIn 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 part of Calvary Cork’s ongoing verse-by-verse study through the book of Revelation and focuses on what these letters reveal about Jesus Christ: His Spirit exposes deadness, His eyes see faithfulness, and His truth unmasks deception.Calvary Cork meets Sundays at 11am in Cork City, Ireland.

Memorising Revelation: What Annelise Learned from 14 Chapters by Heart
May 400:37:13Tap to summarizeIn 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 Revelation as a distant, confusing, or purely speculative book, she describes what it has been like to fill her mind with its words, images, warnings, promises, worship, and vision of Jesus Christ.They discuss practical techniques for memorisation, the relationship between memory and meditation, and how repeated exposure to the text has helped Annelise notice patterns, themes, and emphases within Revelation that are easy to miss when reading quickly. The conversation also explores how memorising Scripture can deepen prayer, strengthen faith, and train believers to see the world through the lens of God’s Word.Whether you are intimidated by Revelation, curious about Scripture memory, or simply wanting to grow in your love for the Bible, this episode offers encouragement to slow down, pay attention, and let the Word of God dwell richly within you.
