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.
Episodes
Read Luke 24:36-49; Acts 3:12-20
Third Sunday of Easter (Year B)
Witnessing is not optional. It is not a sporadic or patchy activity of faith. It is not something you can decide to do one day and then resolve to take the next day off. It is constant. It is a way of life. It is who you are.
WE ARE WITNESSES.
Read John 20:19-31
Second Sunday of Easter (Year B)
Unfortunately, Thomas is remembered solely in a negative light; there is more to this man than doubt.
Read Mark 16:1-8
The resurrection of Jesus Christ requires a response. It is impossible to confront this historical reality and walk away unchanged. As we will see, people did not anticipate Jesus’ resurrection because they weren’t expecting Him to rise from the dead.
Read John 19:1-37
It was the single most horrible day in the history of the world. No incident has ever been more tragic, and no future event will ever match it. No surprise attack, no political assassination, no financial collapse, no military invasion, no atomic detonation or nuclear warfare, no cataclysmic act of terrorism, no large-scale famine or disease — can eclipse the darkness of that day.
Read Mark 15:29-32
Read Luke 2:41-5
Of all the direct descendants of King David, Joseph was beyond all comparison the most faithful, the most just most obedient, the most holy.
Read Jonah 4:1-11
The Book of Jonah is more than a colorful story about a man being swallowed by a fish; it is a tale of God’s redemption in a lost world. If that is true, here's a great question: What is God willing to do to bring us back to Himself? Maybe you left God because you carelessly drifted from Him or consciously disobeyed Him. Regardless, what is God willing to do now? Those who desire to see God move in the church must...

Did Jesus really call his followers to change the world? Over the next 3 weeks we're asking the painful question of why the church haven't changed the world more profoundly.

Read Acts 26:9-21
St. Paul’s entire life can be explained in terms of one experience—his meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus. He instantly saw that all the zeal of his dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a boxer swinging wildly. Perhaps he had never seen Jesus, who was only a few years older. But he had acquired a zealot’s hatred of all Jesus stood for, as he began to harass the Church: “…entering hous...
