Five Steps Down – Peter’s Fall & Jesus’ Faithfulness (Matthew 26:47-75)
Peter took five steps down (pride → prayerlessness → presumption → proximity → peer pressure) yet Jesus took one step up in perfect faithfulness. In this sermon from Matthew 26:47-75 we trace Peter’s fall to show Christ’s rising, and invite you into hope rather than shame.Recorded at: Calvary CorkWhen: Sundays 11amAddress: 25 South Side Industrial Estate, T12 R792Find us online: https://calvarycork.org | Instagram @CalvaryCork | Facebook /CalvaryCorkScripture reference: Matthew 26:47-75Reflection question: Which of the five steps resonates with you most, and how is Jesus’ faithfulness showing you the way back?

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart (plus Q+A about anger, tattoos and more!)
This message was recorded during the 2025 Child Evangelism Fellowship summer camp, where Mike continued walking through the Beatitudes with a group of teenagers eager to know what Jesus really meant by a “blessed life.”The episode begins with a live Q&A where Mike responds to real questions from the campers on topics like anger, tattoos, and what to do when people misunderstand your faith. Then, we move into a message about what it means to be pure in heart - not flawless, but single-minded and sincere in our devotion to God.Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, Mike shows how Jesus calls us to go deeper than outward appearance and invites us to live from a transformed inner life. The reward? Seeing God - not only one day, but in glimpses even now.Key Text:Matthew 5:8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Hungering and Thirsting for Righteousness
This message was recorded at the C.E.F. summer camp in 2025, where Mike was speaking to a room full of teenagers about the Beatitudes of Jesus.In this episode, we explore what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness and how that deep longing connects to receiving God’s mercy. Righteousness isn’t about rule-keeping or earning approval - it’s about desiring the right things, living under God’s reign, and trusting Him to make things right in us and through us. The message also points to Jesus as the only One who can truly satisfy the hunger in our hearts.Originally preached in a youth camp setting, this sermon applies just as much to adults trying to follow Jesus in today’s upside-down world.Key Text:Matthew 5:6–7"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy."

Not My Will but Yours: Jesus’ Prayer in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:30–56)
In a quiet olive garden outside Jerusalem, the most important decision in history was made.In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” – and the plan of redemption moved from promise to reality.In this message from Matthew 26:30–56, Pastor Mike Neglia teaches on three key moments in the garden:The failure of self-confidenceThe example of honest prayerThe mystery of substitutionary loveGethsemane shows us what happens when human strength collapses, divine love perseveres, and redemption begins to flow.Listen and be reminded: The proud fell asleep, but the Saviour stayed awake for you.Scripture: Matthew 26:30–56Preacher: Mike NegliaFrom: Calvary Cork
