The Gospel Made Visible: A Sermon About Baptism

Baptism is one of the clearest ways Jesus has given His church to show the gospel. In this Baptism Sunday message from Romans 6:1-5, Mike Neglia explains how baptism points us to Jesus Christ: His death, His burial, His resurrection, His cleansing grace, and the new life He gives to all who trust in Him. Baptism does not save us, but it visibly proclaims the salvation Jesus has already accomplished. It shows that believers are united with Christ, raised to walk in newness of life, and publicly declaring, “I belong to Jesus.” This sermon explores the meaning of Christian baptism, union with Christ, forgiveness of sins, believer’s baptism, and joyful allegiance to Jesus.

Don't Judge By The Middle - Revelation 11

In Revelation 11, John sees a measured temple, two prophetic witnesses, the beast rising from the abyss, the world celebrating apparent victory over God’s servants, and the seventh trumpet announcing the coming kingdom of Christ.This sermon from Calvary Cork reminds us not to judge by the middle of the story. The nations may trample, the world may resist God’s testimony, and the beast may appear to win — but God claims His people, empowers His witnesses, vindicates His servants, and brings the kingdom of Christ even while the nations rage.Revelation 11 speaks to a world filled with uncertainty, conflict, evil, suffering, political turmoil, and spiritual confusion. It also speaks to ordinary people in Cork who are asking where God is when life feels chaotic, when evil seems to gain momentum, and when faithfulness feels costly.Every time Christians pray, “Your kingdom come,” we are praying toward the day announced in Revelation 11:15:“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”This message considers:The measuring of the temple in Revelation 11The two witnesses and their testimonyWhy Moses and Elijah may be in viewThe beast, opposition, and apparent defeatThe resurrection and vindication of God’s servantsThe seventh trumpet and the coming kingdomWhat Revelation 11 shows us about Jesus ChristJesus is the true faithful witness, the crucified and risen Lord, and the King who shall reign forever and ever.Preached at Calvary Cork, a Christian church in Cork City, Ireland.Passage: Revelation 11Series: RevelationSpeaker: Mike NegliaChurch: Calvary CorkSearch-friendly tags / keywordsRevelation 11 sermon, Revelation 11 explained, two witnesses Revelation 11, who are the two witnesses, beast Revelation 11, seventh trumpet Revelation, kingdom of Christ, Bible teaching Cork, Christian church Cork, Cork Bible study, Calvary Cork, Revelation sermon series, end times Bible teaching, Book of Revelation explained, Jesus reigns forever, Cork church sermon, Christianity in Cork, Bible teaching Ireland, Revelation prophecy, Moses and Elijah Revelation, do not judge by the middle of the story.

No More Delay | Revelation 10

In Revelation 10, John sees a mighty angel descend from heaven, hears seven thunders he is forbidden to write down, and receives a little scroll that is sweet in his mouth but bitter in his stomach. In this sermon, Mike Neglia teaches that God has not told us everything, but He has told us enough. Judgment will not be delayed forever, so God’s servants must take in His word and speak it faithfully, whether it comforts or confronts. This message considers the mystery of what God has concealed, the certainty of what God has revealed, the mercy behind the delay of judgment, and the call to receive and proclaim the whole word of God.

What Is Heaven Like, According to Revelation?

Mike Neglia sits down with fellow elder Victor Sabbe outside Calvary Cork for a conversation about Revelation 4, heaven, and the throne room of God. Over spice boxes on one of the hottest days of the year, Mike and Victor reflect on what John saw when he was caught up into heaven, why the throne of God is central to the vision, and how Revelation challenges some common misunderstandings about heaven and how we get there. This conversation is part of Calvary Cork’s ongoing journey through the book of Revelation.

The Trumpets Sound: Warning, Judgment, and Repentance | Revelation 8-9

What do the trumpet judgments in Revelation mean, and why do they matter for Christians today? In Revelation 8-9, the seventh seal is opened, heaven falls silent, and the prayers of the saints rise before God like incense. Then the seven trumpets begin to sound, bringing severe but measured judgments upon the earth. Creation is struck, the abyss is opened, demonic torment is unleashed, and a third of humanity is killed. Yet even after these terrifying warnings, Revelation tells us that the survivors “did not repent.” In this sermon from Calvary Cork, Mike Neglia teaches through Revelation 8:1-9:21 and explores the meaning of the trumpet judgments, the silence in heaven, the prayers of the saints, the echoes of the Exodus plagues, the opening of the abyss, and the stubbornness of the human heart. These chapters are not given to satisfy end-times curiosity or fuel speculation, but to sound an alarm: God is warning the world before final judgment comes. This message also considers how future judgment frees Christians from personal revenge. If God will judge every wrong, then believers can entrust justice to Him and forgive without pretending evil is small. The Lamb who opens the seventh seal is the Lamb who was slain, and the Judge who warns the world has provided refuge in Himself for all who repent and believe. A sermon on Revelation 8-9, the seven trumpets, the trumpet judgments, the Great Tribulation, prayer, judgment, repentance, and the mercy of Jesus Christ.
