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.

Read Luke 2:15-20 Christmas Day (Year A) A couple of Christmases ago, as a family, we vacationed in New York City the week before Christmas Eve.

Read Isaiah 11:1-10 & Matthew 3:1-12 Second Sunday in Advent (Year A) Advent is a significant season. The Sundays in Advent become a microcosm of all of our Sundays — and, indeed, all of our days. The microcosm of Advent gives us opportunities to discern God’s call; to where we have left the path and to turn once again toward God’s vision.…

No Chris…
