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 the ancient scriptures and our present cultural context, and I aim to bridge that gap 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 am serving at Holy Spirit Anglican Church, Akron, OH as Rector and as Dean of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ADGL) Pro-Cathedral.

Read Matthew 1.18-25
Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022
Quoting from Isaiah 7:14, Matthew explains that while “Jesus” is his birth name, Immanuel is his factual reality. Whereas in the Old Testament, Immanuel was manifested by God’s spirit in a place, such as in the Holy of Holies or the burning bush, Immanuel is the factual reality of God’s manifest presence. Now God’s presence is manifested in a baby born in Bethlehem. So what was transient and temporary in the Old Testament — the dwelling of God’s Spirit with Israel — was now made permanent and eternal.
