O Radix Jesse | Advent series on the 'O Antiphons'

The people of God had waited years for the tree of Jesse to be revived and replenished. After centuries of deadness, new life sprouts forth miraculously as God himself now comes to his people in the person of Jesus. But Jesus Christ is not only the shoot of Jesse but also the root (Radix) of Jesse, fulfilling what the prophet Isaiah said 700 years before. In this sermon, we see what this implies, and how we can be part of the tree of Jesse, producing fruit for the glory of God.This sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on November 30, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.Advent Series: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (on the O Antiphons)The O Antiphons, an ancient church tradition, are a series of seven prayers addressed to Jesus Christ by the Messiah's Biblical titles, and sung in the season of Advent. These prayers are relevant for us in the modern world too for in these prayers we address the same living Christ who has come, will come, and is coming to his people even today.Visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trinitypresbyterianchennai.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠for more resources!
