Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord in G major (BWV 1019c) 14:06

5d ago14:06

14:06

Bach used the materials for this sonata several times throughout his life. Each collection of parts is different, and there are three versions. This is version 1019c, as labeled by the BWV categorical system for Bach's works. There are five parts of this last of his six sonatas for violin and harpsichord. We discover the joys of rhythmic ambiguity,…

The Revealed Jesus - The Bridegroom 35:03

8d ago35:03

35:03

Jesus uses three metaphors to contrast the “old” (represented by John’s disciples, the Pharisees, and those who followed Jesus but didn’t fully commit) with the “new” (represented by Jesus’ radical followers). The “old” is characterized by powerlessness, rule-following, unwillingness to change, and a lack of spiritual authority. The first metaphor,…

Schauet doch und sehet (BWV 46): opening chorus 17:26

12d ago17:26

17:26

When assembling his Mass in B minor, Bach drew from many of his older works. Here is one great example. If you, like us, have always been mesmerized by the haunting sound of the "Qui tollis" movement from the Mass in B minor, you absolutely must hear the opening chorus to the cantata Schauet doch und sehet, which is the full version of the material…

Sermon – July 27, 2025 Lord, Teach us to Pray This sermon explores the disciples’ request to Jesus: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Drawing from Luke 11 and the example of Jesus Himself, the message emphasizes that prayer is not a formula or performance, but a relationship—a daily, honest conversation with our Father. It highlights three key truths: pray…

Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 80): bass/soprano duet 26:02

19d ago26:02

26:02

We return to the Mighty Fortress cantata to do a deeper analysis on the theological counterpoint of this movement. Bach combines two vocal parts -- one is Luther's hymn and the other is new poetry with Bach's own music -- and weaves both of those into a tapestry of staccato strings and marching bass. Bach's theological profundity is what separates …

Sermon – July 20th , 2025 In a world filled with busyness and distraction, what truly matters most? This sermon explores that question through the lives of Abraham and Mary. Abraham made space for God in the ordinary heat of the day; Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet despite cultural expectations. Both reveal that attentive presence to God is more i…

Brandenburg Concerto No. 1: Polonaise 19:23

24d ago19:23

19:23

What good is a centerpiece but to add to the pomp and pride and beauty of a ceremonial occasion? The Polonaise is historically such a centerpiece for such an elegant, lavish affair. Chopin is the natural figure for the Polonaise, a stately dance for pairs, but it was known much earlier to the Baroque composers. Bach was no stranger to Polish style,…

This is the episode where it all comes full circle. Ten months ago, I came to Glendalough in Ireland and had an idea for a fantasy novel. Now, I’ve returned—after two weeks of hiking, dictating, and dreaming through the Irish wilderness—with a finished first draft. In this episode, I take you with me on my final writing walk through the Wicklow Mou…

What must I do to inherit eternal life?”The teacher’s question reflects a works-based mindset. But Jesus shifts the focus to the heart of the law: love God and love your neigh…

Brandenburg Concerto No. 1: Menuet 25:05

The three instrument families in this big baroque orchestra leads us to speculate that Bach represented three social classes: the royal elite (elegant strings, one leader), the aristocratic nobles (horns, for upper-class hunting expeditions), and the common people (reeds, as for outdoor bands or shepherding). Bach concludes the concerto with the el…

If Jesus’ actions reveal who He truly is, then we can conclude that He came to undo our fallenness. Join us as we explore the moment when Jesus calls Levi, the tax collector—a scene that shocked the religious leaders. How could Jesus associate with “such people”? But Jesus’ actions reveal a profound truth: He is not only attractive to sinners, but …

I’m back in Glendalough, where the idea for my fantasy novel was born. A year ago, I was walking along the ancient pilgrim paths here, and my imagination just ran wild.

Worship isn't just about music—it's about knowing who God is. In this message, we go deeper into John 4:23–24 to understand what it means to worship the Father in spirit and in truth. True worship flows from a true revelation of God. Through Scripture and reflection, you'll be invited to evaluate how your view of God shapes your worship, and how to…

Easter is the centrepiece of Why We Worship Jesus. The resurrection story shows us who Jesus is and that He is who He says he is. It shows us that He is trustworthy.

The One who forgives sins 33:45

In this sermon from Mark 2:1–12, we explore the moment Jesus heals a paralyzed man—but not in the way anyone expected. Before restoring his body, Jesus says, “Your sins are forgiven,” making a bold, divine claim: He has the authority to forgive sins—because He is God. This moment isn’t just about physical healing; it points to the deeper restoratio…

The "rule of three" is in full effect here, as Bach carries us along with this jaunty dance, rhythmic triplets and triple sets of musical sentences abounding with life and energy. This eloquent piece can be considered a precursor to the later "sonata form" of the Classical period, along with Bach's other Brandenburg concertos. Performance of moveme…

His response to this outcast reveals someth…

A far far cry from the happy hunting horns of the first part, the second part of Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 is a bitter adagio.
