Preaching can be compared to the art of bridge building. Just like a bridge connects two separate places, my goal as a preacher is to create a bridge between the world of the Bible and the postmodern world we live in today. It’s not just about explaining the biblical text; it’s about effective communication and delivering a God-given message to a living audience who needs to hear it. There’s a gap between ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge it through practical preaching. Together, let’s bridge the divide and make the timeless wisdom of the Bible relevant and applicable to our lives today.
Currently, I serve as Rector at Holy Spirit Anglican Church in Akron, OH, USA, within the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) and the Province of the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA).

Read Matthew 2:7-12
Second Sunday of Christmastide (Year A)
If you’re someone who really believes the Bible is the Word of God—and that Jesus was truly born of a virgin in Bethlehem, surrounded by angels, shepherds, and Wise Men—it’s still pretty easy to let the Christmas story slip into the category of “something sweet and familiar.” We’d never come right out and say it’s just a story or a myth, but after seeing it acted out year after year in Christmas plays—with the perfect lighting, the adorable kids, the beautiful music, and everything neatly in place—we might start to picture it that way in our minds.
But that’s not how it really was. The first Christmas wasn’t tidy, comfortable, or calm. It didn’t happen on a polished stage but in a messy, ordinary world filled with indifference, fear, and even hostility. When we turn to Matthew 2:7–12 and read about the Wise Men coming to find Jesus, we step into that very real world—a world that desperately needed a Savior but didn’t fully recognize Him when He came.
