Why he arrived for the sermon that way
Pastor Bartholomew said the entrance style fits into the passage focus of the sermon, Daily Mail reports.
''The passage says to 'be patient for the Lord's coming is near' and it worked perfectly.
''Just as Christ's return is going to be unexpected, my flying in was unexpected.''
The cleric, during the incident which happened in 2018, admonished the church members to be watchful as 'Jesus Christ second coming' would be just like he arrived the service - unexpected.
He said God orchestrated the grand arrival
Bartholomew who thought God orchestrated the whole act said the experience wasn't nerve-wracking.
