Episode Synopsis

Hope Incarnate opens our Advent journey with Psalm 130, where Pastor Piero leads us into the honest cry, “Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,” and traces how true hope is birthed in the tension between chaos and God’s promise. Rather than a vague optimism based on circumstances, biblical hope is a bold waiting that looks back to God’s past faithfulness and forward to His decisive act in Christ. In this sermon, we explore how the psalmist’s longing for forgiveness, justice, and redemption finds its fulfillment in Jesus, Hope in the flesh, and how we now live in the rope-like tension of the “now and not yet” as we await His return. This message invites us to shift our hope from outcomes to a Person, from the promise to the Promiser, and to embody the hope of Jesus in a world still marked by suffering, injustice, and waiting.
