Islington Baptist is a church for the Islington and wider Newcastle community sharing the life-changing message of Jesus. Our sermon / Bible teaching is a central part of our gatherings.Isaiah 53;1Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied;by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong,because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Mark 15:1-1515 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.“You have said so,” Jesus replied.3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
Acts 2:1-36 Acts 2:1-36 - The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” 13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.” Peter Addresses the Crowd 14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' 22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God's deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25 David said about him: “‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, 27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay. 28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.' 29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”' 36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
24th May 2026- He descended to the dead; on the third day he rose again from the dead by Robertson Anglican Church
Dion eventually led an invasion fleet to liberate Syracuse, but the revolution quickly descended into chaos and factional splits. James Romm explains that despite his Platonic education, Dion committed the political murder of his rival, Heraclides, which caused him a deep spiritual crisis. Dion was eventually assassinated by a faction of his own army led by Calippus, another student from Plato's Academy. Later, the historian Plutarch attempted to burnish Dion's legacy, portraying him as a "philosopher king." This defense aimed to protect the reputation of the Academy from the scandals of its students. (5/8)1839 SYRACUSE
Peter Mauch explores the early life of Hideki Tojo, focusing on his failed 1945 suicide attempt and the military code prohibiting the disgrace of surrender. Born into a samurai-descended family, Tojo's ambitions were fueled by the perceived mistreatment of his father by a cronyist military system, leading him to excel academically. (9/16)1943

In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore a different kind of pep talk: one rooted not in false confidence or forcing yourself forward, but in remembering the strength, luck, resilience, and resourcefulness woven into your body through your ancestral line. Every one of us comes from an unbroken line of people who survived. They lived through hunger, illness, war, uncertainty, difficult births, harsh environments, bad odds, and all manner of human complexity. Not perfectly. Not always elegantly. But well enough for life to continue through them, generation after generation. That legacy lives in you. This episode is an invitation to breathe into the strength of your ancestral inheritance without dismissing the real challenges of modern life. Yes, being human is complicated. Yes, our instincts can sometimes pull us toward choices that are not especially kind to future us. And yes, modern life brings its own forms of stress, decision fatigue, disconnection, and overwhelm. But beneath that, there is also something steady: the deep biological and spiritual truth that you come from people who found a way. We'll explore how to connect with that legacy as a source of grounded encouragement, how to give your brain the "essay assignment" of showing you where you have already been resilient and resourceful, and how to let your ancestors stand behind you as allies in moving forward with more steadiness, discernment, and grace.

This week, Ben Thompson and Dr. Patricia Larash tell the story of Babur — the warrior poet who went from homeless teenage fugitive sleeping in the mountains under a shared cloak… to the founder of one of the greatest empires in history. Descended from both Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, Babur spent decades losing kingdoms, rebuilding armies, writing poetry, and searching for a place to belong before gambling everything on an invasion of India with just 12,000 men, a handful of cannons, and absolutely insane confidence. What followed was one of the most important military revolutions in history: cannon fire against war elephants, mounted archers against armies ten times his size, and the birth of the Mughal Empire. It's a story of survival, innovation, stubbornness, melons, and one of the greatest comeback stories ever told. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He fields everything from whether Catholics should rebuke Satan, to the question of animals in heaven, to honest talk about social tensions at Catholic schools. Mel Gibson’s new film, shimmering scientific discoveries about life and death, and sharp differences between Catholic and Protestant views on Mary also stir the hour, with unexpected stories and personal confessions woven throughout.

Did the Apostles’ Creed originally include the phrase “He descended into hell”? Many Christians recite these words—but few stop to ask where they came from or what they actually mean. In this episode, we examine: The historical development of the Apostles’ Creed When and where this phrase appears in church history What Scripture teaches about Christ’s descent We also clarify a common misunderstanding: The phrase is not about Jesus being tormented in hell, but about His true death and descent to the realm of the dead—what Scripture refers to as Sheol (and in Greek, Hades). Filmed in a historic cemetery, this discussion reflects on death, the grave, and the victory of Christ.

Pray for the Unreached: The Samaritans in West Bank/GazaThe Samaritans are a very small, ancient community living primarily near Mount Gerizim in the West Bank and in Holon, Israel. Descended from a long and complex history, they maintain distinct religious traditions centered on the Pentateuch and worship on Mount Gerizim. Though they share historical roots with Judaism, they remain a separate and tightly knit ethnic faith community. Pray that, just as in the New Testament, many Samaritans would encounter Jesus personally and embrace Him as the promised Messiah, and begin multiplying house churches.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/05 30,714Giving For 04/12 22,618YTD Budget 1,419,231Giving 1,736,163 OVER/(UNDER) 316,932 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong.

From their fleet-based war machine and endless crusades, to their absolute refusal to show mercy, tolerate psykers, or even slow down, these are not your standard Space Marines. They are living weapons of faith and hatred, pushing the limits of what even the Imperium can justify.———TAGSwarhammer 40k, warhammer 40k lore, warhammer lore, 40k lore, warhammer 40,000 lore, black templars, black templars lore, black templars 40k, sigismund, sigismund 40k, eternal crusade, black templars crusade, imperial fists, imperial fists lore, dorn warhammer, rogal dorn, rogal dorn lore, space marines, space marine lore, adeptus astartes, space marine chapters, warhammer factions, 40k factions, imperium of man, emperor of mankind, horus heresy, horus heresy lore, warhammer timeline, warhammer history, grimdark, grimdark lore, gothic sci fi, dark sci fi, warhammer explained, 40k explained, lore explained, warhammer deep dive, 40k deep dive, lore breakdown, warhammer analysis, 40k analysis, warhammer theories, 40k theories, warhammer secrets, 40k secrets, hidden lore 40k, warhammer conspiracy, warhammer storytelling, warhammer youtube, lore video, warhammer community, warhammer content, warhammer creator, warhammer deep lore, black templars explained, black templars history, black templars crusade fleet, fleet based chapter 40k, codex astartes, codex astartes explained, warhammer chapters explained, 40k chapters explained, chaos space marines, traitor legions, loyalist legions, primarchs, primarch lore, abaddon the despoiler, abaddon 40k, black crusades, black crusade lore, armageddon 40k, war for armageddon, ghazghkull thraka, ghazghkull 40k, cadian gate, cadia 40k, cacodominus, warhammer aliens, 40k xenos, ork warhammer, eldar warhammer, tau warhammer, tyranids warhammer, warhammer battles, 40k battles, warhammer campaigns, 40k campaigns, warhammer galaxy, 40k galaxy, warhammer universe, 40k universe, warhammer knights, space knights 40k, crusader knights, knight templar aesthetic, grimdark future, there is only war, warhammer beginners guide, 40k beginner lore, advanced 40k lore, warhammer iceberg, 40k iceberg, warhammer discussion, 40k discussion, black templars tactics, black templars combat, black templars zealotry, imperial religion 40k, emperor god 40k, sisters of battle, adepta sororitas, grey knights, psykers 40k, anti psyker space marines, abhor the witch, black templars rules, warhammer tabletop————————————Opinions expressed in this video are solely those of Isyander & Koda and in no way reflect the views or opinions of Games Workshop Ltd.Artwork throughout this video is used for educational purposes. if you see your artwork and would like an art credit, message me.Support the show
Holy Saturday is often overlooked, yet it holds a powerful and comforting truth for Christians. In this sermon, He Descended in Triumph, we explore 1 Peter 3:18–20, Colossians 2:14–15, and Revelation 1:18 to understand Christ's descent into hell—not as continued suffering, but as the bold proclamation of His victory over sin, death, and the devil.From a confessional Lutheran perspective, this message unpacks what it means that Jesus “descended into hell” in the Apostles' Creed. Did He go to suffer? Did He offer a second chance? Scripture gives us clarity and comfort: Christ descended as the risen Victor, declaring triumph over the powers of darkness.This Holy Saturday sermon emphasizes the finished work of Christ on the cross, the defeat of Satan, and the assurance believers have in salvation. If you are seeking biblical teaching on the descent into hell, victory in Christ, spiritual warfare, and the meaning of Holy Week, this message will strengthen your faith.Support the ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphBuy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags:#HolySaturday #HeDescended #LutheranSermon #VictoryInChrist #ApostlesCreed
The darkness of sin and death is replaced with the grace of God.
Have you ever said the words from the Creed at Mass, “he descended into hell” and wondered, “Really? Jesus did? Why?” The Catechism shares the secrets of this line from the Creed and shows us how Jesus' descent into hell “brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfillment.” Fr. Mike makes it clear to us that Jesus did not come to save only the righteous who happened to be alive during his time here on earth, but he came to save all those righteous men and women who came before him and would come after him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 631-637.

Send us Fan MailA richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. Diana is a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy that violates age-old taboos.Do you have a book you'd like us to review on this show?

Sermon Text: Ephesians 4:7-10 Teacher: Al Kenitz Scripture Reading: Luke 24:44-53 Benediction: 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
Today is day 68 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the eighth line: “was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead” and studying question 68. 68. What does the Creed mean by saying that Jesus descended to the dead? That Jesus descended to the dead means that he truly died and entered the place of the departed.

This Christmas sermon explores the profound theological truth of Christ's incarnation through Philippians 2:1-11, emphasizing that Jesus descended from divine glory to become a servant and die on the cross. Pastor Tom Messer challenges the modern self-help mentality that seeks fulfillment through relationships, possessions, and achievements, arguing instead that true joy and meaning come only through surrendering to God's will and embracing Christ's mindset of humility. The sermon traces three movements: incarnation (humility requires surrender), crucifixion (humility prepares us for suffering), and exaltation (humility results in glory), demonstrating that the pathway to true fulfillment is downward surrender rather than upward striving.

Hilary Giovale is a mother, writer, facilitator, and community organizer who holds a Master’s Degree in Good and Sustainable Communities. She has taught improvisational dance and has served on the boards of philanthropic, human rights, and environmental organizations. Descended from the Celtic, Germanic, Nordic, and Indigenous peoples of Ancient Europe, she is a ninth-generation American settler. For most of her life these origins were obscured by whiteness. After learning more about her ancestors’ history, Hilary began emerging from a fog of amnesia, denial, and fragmentation. For the first time, she could see a painful reality: her family’s occupation of this land has harmed Indigenous and African peoples, cultures, lands, and lifeways. With this realization, her life changed. How can I become a good relative? This inquiry guides Hilary’s work, including her writing, teaching, and reparative philanthropy. Divesting from settler colonialism and whiteness, she seeks to follow Indigenous and Black leadership in support of healing, mutual liberation, and equitable futures. She is the author of the award-winning book Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and Repair.

The Christmas story is far more than a sentimental tale of shepherds and mangers, it's the shocking account of the King of the universe slipping behind enemy lines to rescue us. John 1:14 captures this miracle in just five words: 'And the Word was made flesh.' Pastor Tommy Carr takes us deep into what the incarnation truly means: God drawing near, revealing His glory, and transforming our lives. For centuries, God's glory remained hidden behind a veil, so overwhelming that Moses could only catch a glimpse of God's back as He passed by. But at Christmas, everything changed. The God who was unapproachable became approachable. The glory that once overwhelmed us now invites us. Jesus didn't just visit our world, He tabernacled among us, setting up His tent, making Himself at home in our broken reality. This is a God who wrote Himself into the story He created, facing our limitations, bearing our sorrows, and becoming the meeting place between heaven and earth. We discover that Christmas is God descending so we can ascend, God coming down so we can rise. When we truly grasp this, our celebrations take on new meaning. We're not just commemorating a birth; we're encountering the living God who invaded our darkness to bring us into His light.

The segment explores different endpoints of the Viking Age. 1066 AD is often cited, but this is Anglocentric. That year saw Harald Hardrada, King of Norway (whose claim descended from Cnut's North Sea Empire), killed by Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Normans (Northmen) like William were culturally assimilated Vikings, meaning Vikings were effectively fighting Vikings. A later ending point is the 1263 AD Battle of Largs, a series of skirmishes between King Hákon of Norway and King Alexander III of Scotland over control of the Norse-inflected Western Isles. Hákon's subsequent death in Orkney led to Norwayrelinquishing the Isles to Scotland. 1893
