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 3.1-12; Isaiah 11.1-10
Advent 2, December 4, 2022
John’s baptism was unique. However, not the same as Christian baptism, but similar. This is where the controversy swirled around John’s baptism. The only people baptized in the Old Testament would have been Gentiles who had decided to become followers of God. This Old Testament baptism symbolized an acknowledgement of being an outsider, a need to repent of sins and proclaim faith and total dependence on God.
And so here is the uniqueness. The people baptized by John were not outsiders, not Gentiles, but devout Jewish people!
