The Greatest Heist in History: How Jesus Robbed Death
Apr 700:43:21Tap to summarizeThe 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 not just a miraculous event in the past, but the decisive moment when Jesus defeated death itself.In the language of this sermon, Easter was **the greatest heist in history**. Jesus entered the grave and came back out again, robbing death of its power and stealing away the victory that once belonged to the grave.Reflecting on these verses in the Book of Revelation, we consider four life-changing realities revealed by the risen Christ:• Jesus **calms our distress** — “Fear not.”• Jesus **claims divinity** — “I am the First and the Last.”• Jesus **conquers death** — “I was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore.”• Jesus **controls destiny** — “I have the keys of Death and Hades.”In a world filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and fear of the future, the resurrection of Jesus offers a deeper hope. Because Christ defeated death, believers can face life’s hardest realities with confidence and peace.This Easter message also reflects on the very personal reality of loss and grief, and how the resurrection provides real hope when we face the death of people we love. The resurrection is not merely a theological idea — it is the reason Christians believe death does not have the final word.If you are exploring Christianity, struggling with fear, or wondering what the Bible says about life after death, this message invites you to consider the risen Jesus and the hope He offers.---# ScriptureRevelation 1:17–181 Corinthians 15:55Isaiah 44:6---# About Calvary CorkCalvary Cork is a Bible-teaching church in Cork, Ireland committed to teaching the Scriptures verse by verse and helping people grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ.**Calvary Cork**Sundays 11am25 South Side Industrial Estate, T12 R792Website: [https://calvarycork.org](https://calvarycork.org)Instagram: @CalvaryCorkFacebook: /CalvaryCork---# Sermon SeriesThis Easter message also introduces our upcoming verse-by-verse teaching series through the Book of Revelation, where we will explore the final book of the Bible chapter by chapter.---# Keywords (for search)Easter sermonResurrection of JesusRevelation 1 explainedFear not Bible meaningJesus defeated deathChristian sermon on fearHope after death ChristianityBible teaching Cork IrelandRevelation Bible study---# Suggested tags for YouTube uploadEaster sermonresurrection of JesusRevelation 1fear not biblejesus defeated deathhope after deathchristian sermonbible teachingbook of revelationeaster message

Let’s Talk About Jonah!
Apr 100:24:53Tap to summarizeAfter 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 compassion, and the uncomfortable reality that we often want mercy for ourselves while wanting judgement for others.The conversation explores the nature of grace as something that is free, undeserved, and often offensive to our pride. Jonah knew the right theology, but he did not want God to be gracious to Nineveh. His emotions were real, but they were not reliable. Again and again, the book reminds us that feelings can reveal what is going on inside us, but they should not be allowed to rule us.Mike and Stephen also discuss:Why Jonah’s anger reveals how easy it is to love justice more than mercyThe danger of having correct theology but a cold heartThe contrast between Jonah’s small compassion and God’s great compassionWhy the sailors and Ninevites often seem more spiritually responsive than Jonah himselfThe importance of not trusting our emotions above God’s truthHow God patiently pursues His people, even when they are stubborn, selfish, or self-righteousWhy Jonah 4 may be the most important chapter in the bookThe ways that Jonah exposes both religious pride and hidden prejudiceHow the book leaves us longing for Jesus, the greater and better JonahThis episode is both a review of the series and a reflection on the ways God used Jonah to expose hearts, confront idols, and magnify His mercy.Whether you listened to the series week by week, or are just beginning to explore Jonah for yourself, this conversation will help you see the book with fresh eyes.Jonah teaches us that God’s grace is wider than we expect, deeper than we deserve, and often more uncomfortable than we would like.Calvary CorkSundays 11am25 South Side Industrial Estate, T12 R792Website: https://calvarycork.orgInstagram: @CalvaryCorkFacebook: /CalvaryCork

Jonah’s Small Heart and God’s Great Compassion (Jonah 4:5-11)
Mar 3000:41:32Tap to summarizeIn 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 away, and how the story ultimately points us to Jesus, the greater prophet who wept over Jerusalem and gave His life so sinners could receive mercy.

When Mercy Offends: Jonah 4:1-4
Mar 2300:46:53Tap to summarizeIn 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 toward sinners in compassion.

When Repentance Goes Viral: The Revival of Nineveh | Jonah 3
Mar 1600:47:13Tap to summarizeJonah 3 | The God of Second ChancesIn 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 powerful truth: the God of second chances warns of judgment so that sinners might repent, receive mercy, and sometimes even see revival.In this message we explore:• Jonah’s recommission and God’s grace toward a reluctant prophet• The warning of coming judgment and why it matters• What genuine repentance actually looks like• The mercy of God toward those who turn to Him• The possibility of revival when God works in powerFrom the story of Saint Patrick in Ireland to the repentance of Nineveh, this sermon reminds us that God can transform individuals, cities, and even nations.Jesus later said that “the men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment… because they repented at the preaching of Jonah” (Matthew 12:41). If a wicked city repented at the preaching of Jonah, how should we respond to the message of Jesus?📖 Scripture: Jonah 3If this message encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who needs hope in the God of second chances.
