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 Luke 14.1-14
Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost
Why does it make such an eternal difference whom you invite to church? It’s not so much that Sunday morning is all-determining or even that a church meeting is all-determining. It makes an eternal difference because, along with many other occasions, it reveals where our treasure is. Is Jesus, with his commands and promises, more valuable to us than tradition, convenience, and preference? Is Jesus our treasure? Or are the things and pleasures of this world our treasure? That question is not decided by you inviting someone to church—however, you should ask people to church—but by the question: is Jesus your treasure? Which is determined hour by hour and day by day as to whether we are willing to inconvenience ourselves for those who can’t repay or whether we avoid them, and so preserve our placid routine.
Is Jesus our treasure? Or are the things and pleasures of this world our treasure?
