Listen "Advent: Hope"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Ross delivered a powerful Advent sermon focusing on Zechariah's song of praise in Luke 1:67-79, emphasizing how hope transforms lives through Jesus Christ. The message explored the context of Israel's desperate situation under Roman oppression and 400 years of prophetic silence, showing how hope is specifically for desperate people in desperate places. Zechariah's song celebrates the coming Messiah as both a 'horn of salvation' from David's line and the 'sunrise from on high' who brings light to those in darkness. The sermon challenged believers to live out their hope by serving God and sharing the gospel with others, including a compelling missions emphasis about the urgent need to reach the 4.3 billion people without adequate access to the gospel.To further connect with the Orchard, receive prayer, or fuel the mission through giving, visit our website at www.theorchardnc.com
