Preaching, to me, is the work of building bridges.
A bridge doesn’t erase distance—it spans it. In the same way, every sermon seeks to connect two worlds: the ancient, living story of Scripture and the complex, searching world we inhabit today. The task isn’t simply to explain the text, but to faithfully carry its voice across the gap—so that what God has spoken then can be clearly heard now.
That gap is real. It stretches across centuries of culture, language, and lived experience. But it is not unbridgeable. Through thoughtful, practical preaching, I aim to help others walk that span—to see how the truth of Scripture still speaks, still challenges, and still transforms.
So together, we build and cross that bridge—discovering that the wisdom of the Bible is not distant or outdated, but present, personal, and powerfully relevant for our lives today.
I currently serve as Rector of Prince of Peace Anglican Church in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, within the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh (ADP) and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).

Read Luke 18.18-27
Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost, October 23, 2022
It is impossible, Jesus said, for those who love their money to enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, we start to ask the same question the disciples asked in v. 26b “Who then can be saved?”
The answer comes in v. 27 ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.’ The message is that even rich people can be saved if they give up their trust in their riches.
But the problem is that for the wealthy, money makes rich people feel so secure. Money makes rich people feel in control. And the message is yes; they can be saved, but they have to stop trusting in their riches and start trusting in Jesus Christ and him alone.
