In Revelation 15, John sees redeemed people standing beside the sea, singing before the bowls of God’s judgment are poured out. This ancient and future song, the song of Moses and the Lamb, teaches us that when life is heavy and worship feels hard, God’s people can still sing: His works are great, His ways are just, and His holiness is unmatched.
This sermon traces the connection between Exodus 15 and Revelation 15, showing how the Lamb fulfils the greater Exodus and brings His people through to worship. The redeemed sing in every season and every location, not because life is easy, but because the Lamb is worthy.

Walk into almost any church in Cork on a Sunday morning and you will hear something unusual: ordinary people, with ordinary voices, singing together as if it matters. Why do Christians do this, and what is actually happening when a church lifts its voice in worship?
In this midweek conversation from Calvary Cork, Mike Neglia sits down with Shar O’Shaughnessy, our new Ministry Head of Worship, to talk about worship, music, Sunday gatherings, and the heart behind the songs we sing.
Shar shares a bit of her own story, how she came to Calvary Cork, her background in music, and what it means to lead worship rather than simply perform. Together we talk about the difference between worship music and regular music, why singing has such a central place in Christian worship, and how gathered worship forms, encourages, and reorients us as followers of Jesus.
We also discuss some very practical questions:
What if I do not like singing?
What if I feel awkward or self-conscious?
How can I be more present during worship?
How can we prepare our hearts before Sunday?
What has Revelation taught us about worship, endurance, and the worthiness of Jesus?
This conversation is especially for Calvary Cork, but it may also be helpful for Christians around Ireland and beyond, as well as anyone in Cork who is curious about Christian worship and why churches sing together.
At the heart of worship is not musical ability, personal preference, or emotional intensity. Worship is a response to who God is, what He has done, and how He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ.

Revelation 14 lifts our eyes from the rage of the beast to the victory of the Lamb. After the darkness of Revelation 13, John sees the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with His redeemed people, marked by His name and singing a new song.
In this sermon, Mike Neglia teaches through Revelation 14 and shows how the chapter calls God’s people to faithful endurance, urgent gospel proclamation, and confidence in the righteous judgment of God. The beast may rise and rage, Babylon may seduce the nations, and the world may threaten the saints, but the Lamb stands victorious.
Because the Lamb stands victorious, His people can endure faithfully, His gospel must be proclaimed urgently, and His judgment will fall righteously.

Revelation 13 is one of the most discussed and misunderstood chapters in the Bible. It speaks of the dragon, the beast from the sea, the beast from the earth, the false prophet, the mark of the beast, and the mysterious number 666. But this passage is not given to make Christians panic or obsess over speculation. It is given to help the church discern Satan’s counterfeits and remain faithful to Jesus Christ.
In this sermon from Revelation 13, Mike Neglia teaches on the Antichrist, false religion, spiritual deception, political power, economic pressure, and the book of life. The dragon works through beastly power and counterfeit worship, but the Lamb who was slain keeps His people secure forever.
The message of Revelation 13 is clear: do not be deceived by the dragon’s counterfeits. Resist beastly power, refuse false religion, and rest secure in the Lamb. The beast may have a mark, but the Lamb has a book.

A slightly more compact version, if Spotify truncation is a concern:
Revelation 13 speaks of the dragon, the beast, the false prophet, the mark of the beast, and the number 666. For many readers, this chapter raises questions about the Antichrist, false religion, world government, economic control, and the end times. But Revelation 13 is not given to make Christians panic. It is given to help us discern Satan’s counterfeits and remain faithful to Jesus Christ.
In this sermon, Mike Neglia teaches through Revelation 13 and shows how the dragon works through beastly power, counterfeit worship, and coercive allegiance. Yet above the beast stands the Lamb who was slain. The beast may have a mark, but the Lamb has a book.

Where God’s Grace Meets Real Life | Stephen Lane
What does God’s grace look like in the ordinary relationships of everyday life? Teaching from Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, Stephen Lane explores Christian forgiveness, humility, our continual need for God’s grace, and what it means to extend to others the mercy we have received from Christ.
From the kitchen table to our most difficult relationships, this sermon reminds us that the gospel is not merely grace we believe, but grace we receive, depend upon and give away.
