Reverend Neil Taylor - Podcast
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.

Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost (Year C)
Surrender to the Savior.
The first step is to ensure that you are saved and surrendered. After you surrender, you will want to serve Him, not because you have to, but because you get to. You will live as a servant because you love Jesus as your Savior.
Let’s make sure our time, talents, and treasures are at the di...

Trinity Sunday
Dear friends, here we are at Trinity Sunday, a day not to celebrate an event in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, but to honor a doctrine shaped by the experiences of the Early Church.
Read Joel 2:28-23, Acts 2:14-21
“I Will Pour Out My Spirit On All People” (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:18)
“I Will Pour Out My Spirit On All People” is one of the greatest statements in the Bible; this is how God ignites kingdom life in his people; he pours out his Spirit on them, and they are never the same again. When God promises to “pour out” the Spirit, this is more than a trickle. It means that God plans to release the fl...

The Sunday After Ascension — A Greater Glory
Throughout John’s Gospel, Jesus has been stiff-arming human popularity. Up until now, he hadn’t been ready to go big, but now he is. The moment has come for God to be glorified in Christ, Jesus’ relatively localized Palestinian ministry is about to step onto a cosmic stage through the Cross.
The Ascension is a central pillar of Christian doctrine, affirming Jesus' divinity and his role as Lord and Christ. The Ascension is also linked to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. And so, we are in that time now between Ascension and Pentecost. The 10-day period we call Ascensiontide. For 10 days, God's people prayed for the promise of the Holy Spirit to come. For ten days, Jesus' disciples ...

The Sixth Sunday of Easter
One of the most wonderful and sweetest things in the Bible is that just hours before Jesus' crucifixion, he was concerned for his followers' peace, joy, and faith. Think of it, He is about to be tortured to death with one of the most horrific means of torture ever devised, and his burden was to reinforce in the souls of his followers peace, joy, and faith.

The Fifth Sunday of Easter
Sometimes, the most familiar passages in the Bible are the most challenging to preach. This Sunday’s gospel reading is a great example. It contains Jesus’ famous “love command.” It is one of the better-known passages in the Bible, and for that very reason, it is challenging. The passage is so familiar that most assume they know it before hearing it. Moreover, what can you ...

Fourth Sunday of Easter
For the two and a bit years of the COVID-19 pandemic, I averaged roughly one funeral a month, sometimes two. I regret that experience because the congregation could not share in that ministry with me. Because I know that even today, some of you would not live the way you do if once a month you had to spend three or four hours writing a funeral meditation about ...

The Third Sunday of Easter
Fishing, Breakfast, and the Care of Christ
John 21:1-14 is a lot like a seven-layer bean dip because, on the surface, we have a very straightforward story: some disciples go out to fish; however, they don’t catch anything during the night. Then Jesus tells them where to find fish, and they make an enormous catch, and then they eat breakfast on the beach with Jesus.
But after reading this...
